Confidence On-the-Go: OtterBox Commuter Series Safeguards the BlackBerry Curve 8520 and BlackBerry Bold Smartphones

Fort Collins, CO, September 19, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Combining the most impressive features from the Defender™ and Impact™ Series lines, OtterBox launches the hybrid Commuter™ Series, now available in two custom cases for the BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520 and BlackBerry® Bold™ smartphones.

“The Commuter Series encompasses the best features from previous lines to offer ideal case options for BlackBerry smartphone users,” said Curt Richardson, CEO of OtterBox. “It not only provides necessary protection from scratches and shock, but provides a sleek design that slides easily into a pocket or purse.”

The OtterBox Commuter Series cases for the BlackBerry Curve 8520 and BlackBerry Bold smartphones incorporate three layers of protection: first, a self-adhering clear protective film safeguards the screen from scratches; second, a durable silicone mid-layer wraps over your smartphone to dissipate impact and finally, a one-piece, custom molded polycarbonate shell hugs tightly around the silicone.*

All buttons and smartphone features remain fully functional through the cases. Silicone corners help to dissipate impact away from the BlackBerry smartphone with added bump and shock protection. Cases include a self-adhering clear protective screen, cleaning cloth and installation card.

Scratches and bumps are no match for the new Commuter Series case line from OtterBox. Take on the day with confidence that your BlackBerry Curve 8520 or BlackBerry Bold smartphone is safe and protected.
