Yes. There is the LifeProof Indestructible Case for iPhone 4 / iPhone 4S – (black pictured above).

The pros and cons of the LifeProof Indestructible Case for iPhone 4 & iPhone 4S:

Pros:
  1.  Offers superior protection for an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S while outdoors.
  2.  Looks great and is not especially bulky in a pocket.
  3. Allows you to use an iPhone 4 underwater (if assembled correctly)
  4. This is the Second generation of Lifeproof cases (improved over first gen)
  5. Made to conform to U.S. and UK military standards
  6. IP-68 rating against water and dust
  7. Double AR-coated optical glass for optimum viewing underwater

Cons:
  1. The biggest complaint with the LifeProof Indestructible Case for iPhone 4 & iPhone 4S is that the screen does not stay flat, affecting the reliability of the touchscreen.
  2. Also, one must assemble the case perfectly, otherwise you could risk letting water into the LifeProof indestructible case if it is not correctly assembled.
  3. Your iPhone may no longer fit in a normal sized belt-holder designed for iPhones after assembling the LifeProof indestructible case on your phone.
  4. One reviewer points out that if you use headphones often, the screw off cap for headphone use could become annoying.
  5. The port for the charging and data cable is difficult to open and nearly impossible to remove the cable once the phone has been fully charged.
  6. Another user review states that while this indestructible case offers the best protection for an iPhone 4, it is not practical for everyday use.

Conclusion:
The LifeProof Indestructible iPhone case offers superior protection against natural elements, but is not practical for everyday use. This would be a great iPhone case for someone that is in the active duty military and is in a rugged terrain or for someone that wants to take their iPhone on an outdoor excursion.

Out of 52 reviews on the site MobileFun.com, the LifeProof Indestructible Case for iPhone 4 has an average rating of 4.5 stars (out of 5).

iPhone App Review: Indestructible by Glu Games

Indestructible for iPhone
Indestructible iPhone App
Indestructible by Glu Games is a car combat iPhone game with both a single player campaign, and multiplayer features.

To play multiplayer, you must either be connected to Wi-Fi or have a network connection that is fast enough for your iPhone.

Indestructible Single Player Campaign


I have played the Single Player Campaign for Indestructible. It is a lot of fun. It is fairly easy to take on the horde, which are many weak vehicles at once. You must face computer opponents, and there are quite a few. The single player campaign starts to get hard at the point where it says that computer players are now using Tier 2 weapons. At that point, you start to really get challenged. I got to the point where I face Dozer, the bulldozer. I defeated him 1 time, and I needed to defeat him 3 times to win.

At this point, I realized that I needed a Tier 2 weapon, or a better car.

So I started playing the Multiplayer regularly to save up for a Tier 2 weapon for the default vehicle.

Indestructible Multiplayer Mode

The Multiplayer Mode for Indestructible is fun to play. Each time you play, you get both silver points and influence points. Silver allows you to save up for things like weapons and cars. Influence points allow you to move up to the next level. The next level after the default is silver, and then gold level for influence. Your Influence level simply shares if you have been playing for a while.

I managed to save up 16,000 silver and bought a Tier 2 kinetic weapon. It slightly knocks back an enemy car. I played multiplayer with this new weapon and determined that I just wasted 16,000 silver because now I have to start from the beginning to save up all over again.

There are four types of Multiplayer modes you can play: Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and Capture the Charge.

Does This Game Keep my Attention?

The problem with Indestructible by Glu Games is that you have to save up so much silver to buy vehicles and weapons. The next car is 7,500 silver, and then there is a cadillac, and then the next two vehicles cost 25,000 silver. Once you spend your silver, then you have to start back from the beginning.

After every match it shows how much you earned. There is a small place on the screen that says "Permanently Double your XP and Silver." If you click on it, it asks if you want to pay a one time fee of $2.99 to permanently double your XP and Silver. I chose not to.

Indestructible by Glu Games is fun to play, but there is too big of a hurdle to get items and cars if you are unwilling to pay money to get gold.

I will not pay for gold, therefore my time is over for playing this game. 

While it has a fun factor to it, I am not willing to pay out any money to play this iPhone car combat game

If you are like me, don't waste your time playing this game just to come to the same conclusion.
