IN WITH A BANG: OTTERBOX BRINGS RELIEF TO AUSTRALIA’S ACCIDENT-PRONE SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 OWNERS

US #1 brand for device protection adds GALAXY S4 to extensive line of protective smartphone cases

28th May – Sydney, Australia – OtterBox, the leader in protection for handheld devices, has announced a new series of protective cases for the Samsung Galaxy S4, offering accident-prone Galaxy S4 owners the highest level of defense against even the most prolific drops, bangs, bumps and scratches.

Consumers are ten times more likely to cause accidental damage to their phones than have it lost or stolen* and with this figure ever on the increase, OtterBox offers industry-leading expertise in protective casing – with a reputation as the number one selling brand in its industry in the US**.

The entire family of OtterBox cases for Samsung GALAXY S4 features four series, each offering different levels of mobile device protection to suit varying lifestyle. Avid rock climbers, leisure beach goers, fitness nuts or business professionals can protect their device from just $19.95.

New product range for Samsung GALAXY S4

The Defender Series® [$59.95] – a rugged and multi-layered case which protects the phone against drops, shocks and the hardest impact. The case features an impact-absorbing outer layer, solid polycarbonate shell, built-in screen protector and a swivel-style belt clip holster and ergonomic grip.

The Commuter Series® [$39.95] is designed for those who lead an ‘always-on’ lifestyle. With smooth, round lines that give the case a “waistline” appearance, this stylish, sturdy case is designed to slide easily in and out of pockets for quick and convenient access. Featuring a dual-layer case, it can withstand bumps and shock and has more grip surface, whilst still preserving the device’s design elements.

Reflex Series® [MSRP $34.95]: Lifestyle and protection come together in this highly protective case. Pairing innovative styling with proven damage defense, this series is lightweight, easy to dock and portable, providing a secure feeling of protection for the GALAXY S4 that follows design cues from the device. Soft, impact-absorbing material surrounds the case edges and is molded into a hard polycarbonate shell and paired with a self-adhering screen protector. The device is suspended within the case, allowing the case to flex and absorb shock.

And finally the Clearly Protected™ Series [MSRP $19.95 – $29.95] is an entirely new and refreshingly innovative line of screen protectors. Available in a variety of options that maintain ultimate touch sensitivity and help keep the Samsung GALAXY S4 as good as new, the following options are now available:

  • 360°– Glossy, high-strength, self-healing polyurethane material protects the touchscreen and back of the device
  • Vibrant – Glossy, high-strength, self-healing polyurethane material that preserves display vibrancy and sharpness
  • Clean – Matte, high-strength, self-healing polyurethane material that will reduce glare, fingerprints and smudges
  • Privacy – Matte, premium quad laminar polyester that conceals text and images from all four side views.

OtterBox, recently ranked number 10 in Forbes magazine’s Top 100 Most Promising Companies 2013, is now expanding into Australia and the rest of Asia-Pacific with its extensive range of highly protective device cases. In addition to the new Samsung GALAXY S4 range, OtterBox also offers protection for all of today’s hottest technologies and smartphones including HTC ONE, iPhone5 and many more.
