OtterBox Partners With Cellnet: Custom Nokia Cases Reach New Markets

FORT COLLINS, CO--(Marketwire), 23 July 2008 -- Partnering with Cellnet Group Limited, a leading distributor of telecommunications, audio-visual and information technology in Australia and New Zealand, Otter Products, LLC. designs two custom cases, the OtterBox 1960 for Nokia 6233 models and the OtterBox 1961 for Nokia 6120 models. These Defender™ Series cases provide slim-fit protection from dust, dirt and drops while allowing complete user-interaction.

"OtterBox was contacted by Cellnet in November and we furthered discussions for the cases at the Consumer Electronics Show in January," said James Shelton, Channel Sales Manager at Otter Products, LLC. "The project was time-sensitive and in just eight weeks, we designed and produced several thousand custom cases. Our ability as a company to shift focus so quickly and provide quality cases was a win-win for both companies."

The custom designed OtterBox Nokia cases enable Cellnet's customer 3, Australia's first 3G mobile network, the ability to reach new markets that need extra protection for their devices. Cases are marketed on 3's website, in stores, call centers and the ground business sales force to help provide necessary protection in fast-paced or outdoor work environments.

"There is no other product like OtterBox on the market!" said Fernando Carrara, Business Manager, Proprietary Brands, Cellnet Group Limited. "The product was delivered way above our expectations."

"As the first cases for Nokia phones, we look forward to adding these to our growing line of portable electronic cases," said Brian Thomas, Director of Sales and Marketing, Otter Products, LLC. "Already working with Palm, RIM, HP, Samsung, Symbol and others, OtterBox is hopeful these two cases will lead to development of additional products for Nokia devices in the future."

Cases provide access to buttons, sync/charge, camera and headphone jack as well as three layers of protection:


-- Layer 1: Thermal formed protective clear membrane slides on to
safeguard screen and keys from scratches, dirt and dust* (layer optional
depending on the level of ruggedization desired)
-- Layer 2: Hi-impact polycarbonate shell snaps together over the device
-- Layer 3: Silicone skin wraps over the case to provide additional
protection from bump and shock

Acoustical vents on both the speakerphone and side stereo speakers allow clear sound transmission through the case while keeping out dust and dirt. The fully interactive case protects while allowing complete access to all phone features including surfing the web, taking pictures and listening to music. The OtterBox 1960 and 1961 also come with a holster style swivel belt clip for easy-access carrying.
