Here’s a company that has grown by providing just what the customer wants. It started with a line of waterproof cases, continued with cases through which the enclosed device could be manipulated.
From that point on, it was a matter of adapting cases to the continuing flow of new types of devices, still keeping each case waterproof and protective.
Every time I go to a computer show, Otterbox is there and has a new case to give away. I currently have two new cases, the Pursuit and the Armor, which the Company describes as “The toughest case ever made.”
The Pursuit is about the width and height of a cell phone, but is a good bit thicker, a bit over an inch. It has a latch that brings the top snugly down to the bottom. The top has a flexible strip just inside its rim, which is what makes the interior waterproof (up to 100 feet deep). Protection also includes crush (up to 1,000 pounds), drop and impact, as well as dust and debris.
The exterior of the case has hard plastic “bumpers” on each corner and end. There is a flexible loop attached to make it easy to fasten the case to your belt. Inside, both the top and bottom have semi-rigid pads to help soften impacts.
The Pursuit is designed to provide super protection for outdoor activities.
The Armor is a cell phone case sized for the iPhone 5, iPhone 4 or Samsung Galaxy, but could be used for others as well. The case is described as waterproof, drop proof, dust proof and crush proof.
Drop proof for this case means protection for drops up to 10 feet.
Crushproof is probably the most amazing – up to 2 tons! Soft foam on the interior provides a custom fit and cushioning.
There is also a screen protector built in that prevents scratches and damage to the glass display.
It’s hard to imagine any type of action that would damage your cell phone!
