If you keep dropping your iPhone from time to time, or work in extreme environment conditions where your iPhone could be exposed to dust, water or shock, then a rugged iPhone case can prove to be a good investment. Although the iPhone 6 comes with rubber gaskets around buttons to improve water and dust resistance, these rugged cases, these iPhone 6 cases below offer much better protection.
Otterbox Defender
Otterbox is known for making rugged cases for the iPhone, and the Defender is its ultra rugged case for the iPhone 6. The polycarbonate case will protect your iPhone from dirt, drops, scratches and slips.
