You Don't Need the Luck of the Irish When You Have OtterBox

FORT COLLINS, CO--(Marketwire - March 5, 2009) - You won't need to rely on the luck of the Irish this St. Patrick's Day when you have the protection of OtterBox. As innovators of protective solutions for mobile handheld technology, OtterBox offers superior quality cases for the top selling tech devices without having to spend a pot of gold.

OtterBox customer John Hyde attests to the idea that if you have an OtterBox on your device, you don't need luck. While unloading demolition at the dump in Tipton, Tenn., Hyde unknowingly dropped his BlackBerry® in the tracks of a 50,000 pound bulldozer. The next morning, Hyde found his smartphone lying in the compressed path of the machine. Luckily his device was unharmed. The OtterBox Defender Series™ case for his BlackBerry 8830™ World Edition had protected his phone from the intense force of the bulldozer.

Trying his "luck" at a local casino later that day Hyde realized, after losing $150, it wasn't because of luck his device survived; it was because of OtterBox. The case saved Hyde from paying a $150 deductible to replace his BlackBerry and the hassle of losing his contacts and other important information.

"The OtterBox case is extremely durable. I can't say enough about it," Hyde says. With three layers of durability, OtterBox Defender Series cases offer the ultimate protection:*

-- Layer 1: An optional, thermal-formed membrane covers the screen and keyboard to prevent nicks and scratches

-- Layer 2: A hi-impact polycarbonate shell encases the device

-- Layer 3: Durable silicone absorbs bumps and shocks

"No other case offers the armored protection that OtterBox does," Hyde said.

Stop chasing leprechauns and searching for the end of the rainbow; with OtterBox you have all the luck you will ever need!
