  FORT COLLINS, CO, Apr 10 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Smartphone technology has forever changed the traditional toolbox providing
industriesacross the board with convenience at the touch of a button. While
productivity
and profitability have increased due to the ability to make a phone call,
retrieve a proposal or even send an email right from the jobsite, these
devices are not intended for harsh environments and one bump or drop can lead
to expensive repairs or replacements.

    "My BlackBerry allows me to access information anywhere. I can call the home
office, manage
appointments and use the memo pad for storing building codes for different
work sites," said David Gray, HVAC Project Manager, Northern Colorado Front
Range.
"Once while up on a ladder my phone fell out of its holster and hit the
ground, shattering the screen. I had to go a week without phone, email and
schedules."

    Lost contacts, appointments and inaccessibility leads to frustration and
downtime, but with protective cases from Otter Products, LLC., industry
professionals can take their BlackBerry virtually anywhere without walking on
eggshells.

    "Due to my work environment, I needed something that was durable and would
last. I'm always on the go -- climbing, kneeling, jumping and bending -- and
my previous BlackBerry holster couldn't hold up to the job. OtterBox
provides me with security for my phone so I don't have to be overly cautious.
It's peace of mind," added Gray.

    Whether he's on a skyscraper in downtown Denver, a boiler room in the
basement, on a roof above an indoor pool or in a ceiling at an office building,
Gray knows his device is fully protected with OtterBox. He can access the
company's database to contact fellow employees, obtain a PO and even research
manufacture's information online right through the case.

    As part of the Defender(TM) Series line, OtterBox offers cases for the
BlackBerry 8800(TM), Curve, Pearl 8100(TM) and the new Pearl 8120(TM) and
8130(TM)
Series.Cases have three layers of protection: a thermal formed clear membrane to
protect the screen and keyboard, a hi-impact polycarbonate shell and a
silicone skin that wraps over the device to absorb bump and shock.*
