Be Smart This School Year, Protect HTC & Motorola Devices with OtterBox

Online, August 5, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Fort Collins, COLO. - With school nearly back in session and the kids armed with the latest smartphones, OtterBox™ announces four new cases to keep technology safe in the halls, on the bus or around campus. With new Commuter Series™ and Defender Series™ options for HTC and Motorola devices, OtterBox has back to school technology covered!

"Mobile technology has become a common sight in classrooms around the world," said OtterBox founder and CEO Curt Richardson. "Professors, teachers and students alike are using devices to take notes, give presentations, save data and do research. With the tight budgets in today's economy, keeping those expensive devices safe from damage becomes even more important."

The OtterBox Commuter Series combines protection and sleek design, ideal for users looking for style. It offers three layers beginning with a self-adhering screen film to prevent scratches. Second, a silicone skin which wraps around the device, to absorb shock and provide a solid grip. Finally, rounding out the coverage is a tough polycarbonate shell that snaps around the silicone, providing strength with a smooth finish. The shell also enables users to slide their device easily in and out of a pocket or purse. A cleaning cloth and installation card are included. Now available for the Motorola DEVOUR™ and Motorola BACKFLIP™.*

The OtterBox Defender Series is the perfect choice for those needing rugged, on-the-go protection. Whether it's back and forth to meetings or racing to beat the class bell, the Defender Series can handle the extreme. This rugged case line offers three innovative layers of protection to the Google Nexus One and HTC HD2 (U.S. version). First, a built-in screen protector helps prevent scratches. Next, a polycarbonate shell surrounds the device to provide unmatched strength. Finally, an outer silicone jacket absorbs shock and gives the case grip. Defender Series cases also come with a holster-style swivel belt clip that doubles as a phone stand.**

Both Commuter Series and Defender Series cases offer silicone plugs to keep all ports free of dirt and debris. All buttons and other features remain fully functional through each case. For individual product technical specifications, please visit www.otterbox.com.
