Otterbox launches new case at CES 2010

Posted on 08 January 2010 by


Otterbox, makers of tough as nails type case for various wireless devices announced their latest case last night during one of the CES 2010 events.

The new case, called the Tandem series, will initially launch for the Palm Pre device with other models to follow.

The two piece case features polycarbonate pieces that have been reinforced to provide shock and impact protection.  The Palm Pre version slides open and closed effortlessly allowing you to use the keyboard without removing the case.

So how does the Tandem Series work?

  • The first shell attaches to the front of the smartphone and the second shell attaches to the back.
  • Silicone around the outside edges of the case offers protection against bumps and the polycarbonate shells offer stability to withstand light impact.
  • Once the case is assembled, it allows for complete functionality, even when sliding the display screen up and down.

    • Look for the new Tandem case on the Otterbox web site soon.
