With the weather turning, now is the time to consider the ClimateCase 700 Series ($28.95). It's easy to forget and leave your iPhone in your car overnight where it can be exposed to low temperatures. And in the summer, the same is true of high temperatures. That's where the ClimateCase comes in.

The ClimateCase offers serious protection from serious temperature extremes and can also be used to warm up a frozen phone or cool down an overheated one. And with all of this functionality, it doesn't just come in basic black. The ClimateCase is sold in a wide variety of colors and patterns.
The case has a neoprene exterior and a patented gel interior. At under $30, it's quite reasonably priced. As phones get bigger and may be used in protective cases, it can be a bit snug but it works thanks to Velcro.
I have a colleague who climbs summits and in a couple of weeks, he will be doing so in Antarctica. I'm going to give him a ClimateCase so he can stay in touch via his iPhone and an Iridium Wi-Fi hotspot. I'll try to post an update with a photo!
