Fort Collins COLO. – OtterBox® iProtection™ is superior fortification for Apple® devices; the result of innovative engineering and precision design that delivers the ideal form, fit and function of a case. Defender Series® iProtection is available today for the latest Apple device, the new iPad®.*
Like its predecessors, the Defender Series for the new iPad maximizes protection without sacrificing mobility or functionality. Memory foam pads cradle the device within a sturdy, easy-to-install polycarbonate shell. A robust silicone skin wraps around the shell to absorb shock and protect ports from dust and dirt. A built-in screen protector keeps the Retina™ display pristine and free from scratches, and any smudges or fingerprints can easily be cleaned.
The case includes a polycarbonate stand that supports viewing in portrait or landscape mode and functions as a durable screen shield when the iPad is not in use. The stand also incorporates two magnets to initiate device sleep mode when placed over the screen and awaken the device when removed, conserving battery power.
“Adaptability is a core characteristic of OtterBox,” Founder and CEO Curt Richardson said. “We are constantly challenged to adapt to the changes within the industry and pioneer new designs and technologies. For the first time on a tablet of this size, we’ve been able to apply a built-in screen protector. We’ve also included magnets that initiate device sleep mode – both features we have not had the capacity to develop in a tablet case until now.”
