Bandshell Improves iPhone Sound

Dec. 16, 2009 - PRLog -- Bandshell (www.BandshellCase.com), a new iPhone 3G and 3GS compatible case, goes where no case has gone before: battery- and cord-free amplification that improves sound quality anywhere.

The Bandshell’s secret is a patent-pending retractable sound door. Users will be amazed as the fashionable case is effortlessly transformed when the sound door glides from the back of the case. The resulting curvature enhances the acoustics of the iPhone’s internal speaker – just like how a well-designed bandshell or concert hall magnifies the sound of live music.

The Bandshell’s flat side enables the iPhone to stand by itself, giving an easy widescreen view of album covers, video and more in iTunes and other apps. Without Bandshell, it is often necessary to hold the iPhone or prop it against something to view the screen at the proper angle.

“We believe Bandshell hits a trifecta with sound enhancement, convenience and good looks,” said Ted McNamara, president and founder of Bandshell. “Plus it’s slim and protects your iPhone.”

The $19.99 Bandshell comes in 12 colors and can be purchased online at www.bandshellcase.com. Bandshell is participating in the nationwide Free Shipping Day, Dec. 17, 2009 with delivery in time for Christmas.

Visitors to the Jan. 7-10, 2010 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas can check out the Bandshell in action at booth 3734. Bandshell is exhibiting in the iLounge, where the hottest new iPhone accessories will be on display.

In addition to improving sound quality and helping users amplify music and watch videos, Bandshell provides a convenient way to host conference calls because it can be used hands free and will project voices to everyone in the room making it easier to hear all participants. Making live recordings is better using Bandshell, too, because its unique design allows users to capture sound better.


The Bandshell’s strong construction and two clasp feature makes the case durable and keeps it closed. This helps give the iPhone superior protection from falls, bumps and handling.

Consumers can mix and match Bandshell’s front, back and retractable door to personalize their iPhone case by choosing from 12 colors or swapping case pieces and door colors with friends to create a multi-colored case.
