Variety of Belkin cases include stylish, functional designs to keep you always connected by providing easy access to your new iPhone. Cases cater to the many different ways you carry your device

Sydney, AUSTRALIA – 17 June 2010 – Today Belkin launched stylish new cases for the iPhone 4, designed to complement the way that consumers carry their devices.

“iPhone users lead mobile lifestyles, taking their devices wherever they go to ensure anytime connectivity. The phones get dropped into cluttered handbags, stuffed into pockets and even carried in hand by constant users. Belkin’s new cases have been designed to protect the iPhone however it is carried, keeping it safe from damage.” said Patrick Domingue, Managing Director, Belkin ANZ.

Belkin has identified five main ways people carry their iPhone: in a pocket, in the hand, in a bag, attached to themselves, and whilst active.

For those carrying their iPhone in their pocket, Belkin’s slim cases are easy to grip, they slide in and out of a pocket smoothly, and they provide impact protection from everyday drops. For people who keep their iPhone in hand at all times, they will appreciate our line of cases that are comfortable to hold, shock-absorbing, and easy to grip. Belkin has also created cases that make your iPhone easy to find within the interiors of a travel bag or handbag and protect it against constant contact with other items.

To accommodate consumers who like to keep the device attached to themselves, Belkin offers cases that range from armbands to belt buckles, making the iPhone easy to access for intermittent use.
