OtterBox protection for the BlackBerry 8700™ series smartphones just got sexy! Introducing the Defender Series™ case for the BlackBerry 8700 series smartphones from Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM). Listening to customer feedback from the fully-rugged, more robust 8700 Series case launched in 2007, OtterBox replaces the old version with a new slim-fit design to safeguard the BlackBerry 8700 and the BlackBerry 8703e smartphones from dust, drops, dirt and scratches.
“The lifecycle of the BlackBerry 8700 Series smartphone has been long-lived and it remains an essential tool for a variety of industries so we’ve gone back to the drawing board to offer something new,” said Curt Richardson, CEO of OtterBox. “Those in military, construction and other fast-paced work environments need protection without bulk and the OtterBox Defender Series offers the best of both worlds.”
With three innovative layers,* this case provides an ideal solution for demanding lifestyles:
Layer 1:
Case includes two thermal formed PVC membranes, one fits the BlackBerry 8700 smartphone and one fits the BlackBerry 8700e smartphone, to protect keypad from dust and dirt (layer optional).
Built-in PC windows protect the screen and camera from scratches and dust intrusion
Layer 2: Hi-impact polycarbonate shell
Layer 3: Silicone skin absorbs bump and shock
The OtterBox for the BlackBerry 8700 series smartphones provides access to sync/charge jack through a silicone plug. A recessed, contoured opening provides scroll wheel access. Sound clearly transmits through acoustic vents on speakerphone and headset speaker. An included holster style swivel belt clip adds convenience.
