Otter Products, LLC. releases the OtterBox 1920 case, a rugged,
polycarbonate case that protects Palm(R) Treo(TM) 650 and Treo 700
series smartphones from water, dust and dirt. The casing completely
seals the device from elements while providing access to keypad, touch
screen, volume and program buttons. This protection also saves
customers from having to replace or repair their damaged units from
hostile work environments.
The OtterBox 1920 accommodates Palm Treo 650, 700w, 700wx and 700p
models, so Treo owners can now work in virtually any environment with
complete use of phone, email, internet, MP3 files and camera all
through the case.(1)
"Because Treo smartphones are used in all sorts of environments,
from the beach to construction sites, rugged cases to protect them are
in high demand," said Jim Schwabe, general manager, accessories, for
Palm, Inc. "The OtterBox case is the perfect complement for those who
need to keep in touch while in harsher environments. And its unique
design doesn't limit use or capabilities."
The case features a newly designed compound latch for easy opening
and secure closing and rubber overmolding for grip and drop
protection. A protective cover safeguards delicate LCD screens and
flips up for screen access. Mil-standard quality assurance testing for
dust, water, and drop and shock protection, ensures the OtterBox
design can withstand severe conditions.
"Working in the landscaping industry, I generally go through about
three phones a year," said Alan Patterson, Owner of University Lawn
and Garden. "Now with the OtterBox case I don't have to worry about
destroying my phone and having to replace it."
The OtterBox is ideal for business travelers, government and
military personal, construction workers, engineers and more. "Palm's
Treo smartphones are used in a wide range of environments, which for
some people means regular exposure to dust, dirt, rain, or even a day
at the beach. The OtterBox 1920 case is the perfect complement for the
Treo smartphone for those who need to keep in touch in harsher
environments," explains Jim Schwabe, GM for Palm's Accessories
Business.
"We look forward to offering Treo users the protection they need
in the rain, snow, dust, and other harsh work environments," said Curt
Richardson, CEO of Otter Products, LLC. "Most Treo cases require the
user to remove the device before using it. With the 1920, users can
access their device right through the case."
An easy-open top cap provides access to SD card slot and a Gore(R)
membrane seals speakers and microphones while still allowing use. IR
and antenna are also usable through the case. The OtterBox provides
access to headphone, sync and charge connectors and an external stylus
holder adds convenience for business on the go.
Optional accessories include:
-- Belt clip with swivel clip
-- Soft case (nylon pouch) with swivel clip
-- SD Scanner POD - Allows for the sealed use of a Socket(R) SD
Scan Card for bar code scanning
-- Screen Replacement Kit - allows for the replacement of the
screen membrane
