FORT COLLINS, CO -- 09/17/08 --
Wipe that bead of sweat from your
forehead, the anticipation is over!
OtterBox releases
iPhone
3G protection in the semi-rugged, drop and scratchproof Defender(TM)
Series design. Case available now in black and coming soon in white,
black/yellow and pink.
"Our waiting list for iPhone 3G cases has been building for months," said
Curt Richardson, CEO, Otter Products LLC. "OtterBox engineers have worked hard to
introduce slim and durable protection for Apple's hottest new device. Good
design takes time and we wanted to guarantee our customers quality."
The OtterBox for iPhone 3G Defender(TM) Series accommodates Apple
iPhone 3G 8 GB and 16 GB with three slim-fit layers of protection*:
-- Layer 1: Patented polycarbonate membrane protects against scratches
and dust intrusion while allowing for full use of the screen
-- Layer 2: Hi-impact polycarbonate shell
-- Layer 3: Silicone skin to absorb impact and provide tactile feel
Listening to customer suggestions about the first generation iPhone
Defender(TM) Series case, OtterBox improved the design of the iPhone 3G case. The new case allows access to the
silence switch, provides an improved screen and better fit and feel.
Sync/charge, home, sleep/wake, volume, camera and headphone jack all remain
accessible. Acoustical vents safeguard the microphone and speakers from
dust and dirt to allow clear sound transmission. Case also includes a
holster-style swivel belt clip which converts into a display stand when
device is inserted screen out.
Purchase a black model today or wait for white, black/yellow or pink models
coming soon. Pink
"Strength" cases benefit the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade and 10% of the
purchase price will be donated to support access to care and finding a cure
for breast cancer, with a focus on the medically underserved.
For customers needing less extreme protection; OtterBox will soon be
offering a new silicone, skin-like case known as the Impact(TM) Series.
Case will combine durable silicone with impact absorbing features and
complete user interaction. Check www.otterbox.com in the coming weeks for
details and availability.

generation iPhone, iPod nano 2nd and 3rd generation, classic and touch
