the NUT : ultimate iPhone protection for builders & DIY enthusiasts

June 8, 2011 - PRLog -- iPhones are becoming integral to the self-employed construction and building trades and these businesses need to be managed efficiently and on-site. Taking and making calls, receiving and responding to emails, and accessing the variety of Apps targeted at such self-employed professionals are all of vital importance if small businesses are to succeed. Managing diaries, ordering materials, scheduling jobs, locating sites using GPS…the list is endless.

Unfortunately the iPhone - whilst very capable of performing all these essential business tasks - is simply not robust enough to cope with the rigours of the harsh building site environment.

With this in mind, Okoqu Ltd. - a young UK company - set out to find a solution to this (and other such problems) and develop a way to protect the iPhone from these typical construction environments and enable professionals to run their businesses effectively.

After a year in development The NUT was born.

The key features of the NUT are:

Hard Shell Screen Protection - Genuine protection for the iPhone screen. An ultra-thin layer of tough, optically perfect, high impact, flexible polycarbonate means virtually no reduction in touch-screen performance.

Shock Absorbing - The iPhone is suspended in a rubberised, shock absorbing jacket, ensuring that any drops or shocks are easily dealt with. The rubber also provides a tactile, ergonomic, non-slip grip in the construction environment.

Weatherproof & Dustproof - The iPhone is fully protected against severe weather, as well as sand, dirt and grit.

Easy open & close - Access the phone quickly, the NUT® is designed for quick release of the front cover and easy phone removal.

Okoqu's Sales Director Steve Jones says "Finding a way to make an iPhone dust proof was high on our priority list – construction sites are very harsh and dusty environments and an iPhone doesn’t like dust! – A builder needs to be able to protect their phone with minimum effort and not worry about damaging such a vital business tool"

Award winning product designer and Okoqu's Design Director Russell Beard says "we have stepped away from the ubiquitous low quality Chinese produced mobile phone accessory and designed, developed and manufactured the NUT in the UK. It is a premium product of unprecedented quality and is something of which we are extremely proud"
