New Otterbox Battery App

We recently received this press release from Otterbox and it’s something very different from them.

Being predictable isn’t always a bad thing. OtterBox® now has the Smartphone Outsmarted™ with a new battery app for Apple® iPhone® and Android® devices. Introducing the OtterBox iON Intelligence® application, available free in the Apple Store and Google Play.

This innovative app is a smart and seamless battery extender. iON Intelligence eliminates the guesswork of predicting battery life with a clear display of power status and an intuitive indication of exactly when to charge next. Soon, industry-leading OtterBox Defender Series® protection for iPhone 4/4S and Android devices will come packed with this innovative technology to provide a trifecta of power, protection and battery management.

The iON Intelligence software is a learning application that estimates battery power and battery time remaining by incorporating current and historical power usage. Over time, iON Intelligence learns about power usage patterns and improves its accuracy. The more it’s used, the better it gets.

“Battery life is one of the few attributes that Apple and Android users are often concerned with,” OtterBox President and CEO Brian Thomas said. “OtterBox’s mission is always to enable the tech consumer, and giving them a means to manage their smartphone battery allows for intelligent use. Our engineering teams created a product that charges up to three-times faster than any other of its kind, allowing users to leave the phone charger behind and significantly improve battery life.”

For OtterBox, premium protection is always a key to the design. With a “Made for iPhone” certification, this state-of-the-art product offers triple-layer protection in addition to smart and seamless power. The first layer is a built-in screen protector that guards against scratches without inhibiting touch sensitivity; the second is a sturdy polycarbonate shell that securely snaps in place around the device and the outer layer is a robust silicone skin complete with port and plug covers to keep out dust and dirt.*
