As noted above, the Quattro 4 is a very thin case, in fact, it can be as thin rugged I have ever seen. It does this by integrating multiple layers (polycarbonate, polysilicon, and improved TPE) in one piece rather than create discrete layers for the user to install. While you may miss the feel of the exterior layer of soft silicone which has become the norm in robust cases, you will certainly appreciate the more compact design. All ports and buttons are covered with excellent everyday protection from moisture. But do not expect all this to protect your phone if submerged.A variety of accessories available (sold separately), as a belt clip, a clip credit card, and a battery.
Proof. The case has a hinged front that opens to insert or remove your iPhone and snaps tight with three small plastic clips on the top, left, and right edges. Getting my phone in and out of this case was easier than a lot of other cases I’ve reviewed, and that’s important for a case like this. The holster was, well, a holster and worked like it should. The Swivel belt clip moved only when I wanted it to, but it sometimes required a bit of pressure. This is a good thing, really. As an added feature, the belt clip has a little plastic prop that pops out to make it double as a stand. This only worked for horizontal viewing, but it worked well. I put the case and holster on my iPhone for just this feature to view MIT video courses one night.

The NautiCase did pretty well with some basic tests with dirt and dropping, but I was really interested in just how splash proof it was. Despite the warnings in the user guide, I fully submerged my NautiCase in a sink full of water (as seen above). What you might also notice in the image above is that I did not have my phone in the case for this test. I heeded the warnings and opted, instead, for paper towels. With the case completely packed with two paper towels, I submerged it in the sink for 60 seconds, giving it any chance to fill with water. When I retrieved it, there was a small amount of wet paper towel at the bottom edge. This was much better than anticipated, as I expected the front membrane to let a lot of water in. The top two-thirds of the paper towel was bone dry, which also surprised me. Splash proof? It’s almost completely water proof. Keep in mind that the operative word is “almost”, so when you use this case, heed the same warnings about submerging it.
The case and belt clip look and feel impressive, but when you start using it with your iPhone 4 one feature on the case will make wish you weren't using this case. Especially if you are an avid iPhone photographer. The case has an impressive pedigree
