OtterBox Keeps Your BlackBerry Bold 9700 Smartphone Pristine

Dec. 18, 2009 - PRLog -- Fort Collins, COLO. –To protect the new BlackBerry® Bold™ 9700 smartphone, OtterBox releases two custom cases: the Impact™ and Commuter™ Series. Each case offers full interaction with buttons, trackpad, camera and flash for on-the-go protection.

“For BlackBerry smartphone users, keeping their smartphone in pristine condition is a must,” Curt Richardson said, OtterBox founder and CEO. “Everybody wants something different out of a smartphone case – some just need a basic safeguard and others require a more protective solution. OtterBox now offers two options so BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone customers can choose the perfect case to fit their needs.”

The OtterBox Impact Series for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone speaks to those needing everyday protection. Cradling the smartphone in a single, slim-fit silicone layer, the Impact Series uses inner coring and a self-adhering screen protector to defend from impact, scuffs and scratches. A screen installation card and microfiber cleaning cloth are included.*

With a silicone layer and hard polycarbonate exterior, the OtterBox Commuter Series case for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone is a trusted safeguard for busy lifestyles. The exposed silicone corners dissipate impact away from the smartphone and protect against bump and shock. Dust and dirt are deflected by attached silicone plugs over all ports. Included with the case is a self-adhering screen protector, installation card and microfiber cloth.**

Keep your BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone protected from whatever the day brings with Impact or Commuter Series cases from OtterBox.
