This Is The Case That Will Save Your Phone From Drowning
“Samsung created an incredible team of devices this year. And just as Samsung continues to bring innovative designs and upgraded features to the smartphone space, OtterBox continues to protect these devices with an ever-expanding line of cases.” – Otterbox CEO Jim Parke
If you were stranded on a desert island and could only take three items, what would you take?
Personally, I’d take the Complete Works of William Shakespeare, a fishing net and a box of matches. In asking my friends the same question, one item stood out above the rest: the trusted smartphone.
According to an online statistic, smartphone users are expected to grow exponentially in the next couple of years – an estimated 84 percent of people will have constant access to their smartphone just in the United States alone by 2023. Big brands over the world, like Samsung and Apple, consistently send out a huge number flashier smartphones all the time.
When these brands send out the flashiest tech gadgets, there is bound to be other companies sending out accessories to go with it. One of those trusted companies is OtterBox. The Colorado-based company was founded in 1991 when serial entrepreneur, Curt Richardson, crafted a waterproof casing for outdoor enthusiasts and their equipment. His business grew and in 2010, OtterBox started going worldwide, opening different doors in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Now, they are the number one phone case brand in the US.
Lately in the news, there has been talk of Samsung launching its much anticipated new Galaxy S10’s. And you guessed it, OtterBox has some amazing phone cases designed to fit these devices, and they’re out of this galaxy!
These cases are delicately designed for the perfect fit. The list of their innovative cases is too long to mention all of the fantastic workings, so I’m going to pick out a few series that I think deserve honourable mentions.
Firstly, we have the Defender Series. This series features strong, reliable phone cases that will be your best friend when your phone drops out of your pocket unexpectedly! They cater to iPhone and Samsung devices and is really designed for ‘on-the-go’. It even has port covers to help keep out dust and debris out of your Galaxy! It’s available on the OtterBox website or stockists around the country, like Harvey Norman, for NZD$79.95.
Secondly, we have the Symmetry Series ($59.95). These cases are stylish, colourful and cater to keeping your Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+ or Galaxy S10e safe and sound. Would you rather have a transparent case? Well, OtterBox has you covered with the Symmetry Series Clear ($64.95) that features dual-material construction with a slim, sleek and crystal clear cover. It’s also scratch-resistant, which is a plus! It too is available online and at stockists around the country. There’s also the leather Symmetry Series Folio that folds over a bigger screen. The Folio offers car slots for your essential cards, such as drivers licenses and AT HOP cards!
Thirdly, the Commuter Series ($44.95). It’s the best way to keep your phone from scratch and impacts when you’re commuting to and from work. The shock-absorbent case is now easier to hold while the outer cover keeps the phone safe from drops while maintaining a slim profile. A very nice range of phone covers!
Fourthly and finally, the Strada Series ($69.95), which is the only leather smartphone case backed with certified protection!
All of these wonderful phone cases are available online now or in-store!
Reflecting on the items I would take with me to a deserted island, I have decided to follow the herd, abandoning the Bard and packing my trusty smartphone – but only if it has an OtterBox phone case. I don’t want any sand messing up my brand new Galaxy S10!
