Announcement posted by Otter Products 01 May 2017

SYDNEY, Australia – 1 May 2017 – Getting the new Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ device is a thrill in itself, but that next big adventure is just around the corner with OtterBox. Now available in Australia and New Zealand, OtterBox’s range of premium cases for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ will ensure your new phone is protected whether you are out on a hike, on your bike or at a festival.
 
To help keep Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ safe from the unexpected, OtterBox offers a full case lineup including the rugged Defender Series, stylish Symmetry Series, slim Commuter Series, finely crafted Strada Series, and tempered Alpha Glass screen guards for reliable protection on any adventure.1
 
To ensure cases withstand wear and tear, each design boasts OtterBox Certified Drop+ Protection. To earn that certification, each design has undergone more than 238 hours of testing across 24 or more tests to ensure durable, long-lasting performance.
 
“OtterBox cases are the perfect match for Samsung fans who love adventure,” said Rob Kovacs, OtterBox Vice President Business Development – APAC. “We go the extra mile with OtterBox Certified Drop+ Protection so that our customers never have to worry. And with our range spanning from the rugged Defender Series to the stylish Symmetry Series, we have the case for each and every Samsung user. As members of the Samsung Mobile Accessory Partnership Program, our designs have earned the ‘Made for Samsung’ seal, offering tailored protection for the cutting-edge Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.”
 
The OtterBox stylish Symmetry Series cases make matching your Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ with your outfit simple. The slim cases stand out from the crowd with metallic finishes, bright colours, graphics and clear options. The dual-material design protects against shock, and a raised, bevelled edge provides a buffer for the touchscreen on drops.
 
Outdoor adventures can be tough on tech, but Commuter Series keeps Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ covered with two layers of slim protection. The thin case slips easily in and out of pockets for on-the-go use, helps guard against bumps with a tough exterior shell, and blocks out grime with the shock-absorbing slipcover’s port protection.
 
Wrap Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ in crafted protection with Strada Series Folio for long weekends wandering through wine country. This slim protective case guards the brilliant edged display with a genuine leather folio that protects the touchscreen from harm. The elegant design has a classic, sophisticated style and the added benefit of a discrete wallet slot for cards or cash.
 
For the outdoor explorer or worker, rugged Defender Series guards Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ from tough drops and harsh scrapes. The tough case was redesigned with an open screen to suit the curved display and is fully compatible with Alpha Glass. Defender Series boasts a shell with a rigid exterior and flexible interior for drop protection, and a tough, textured outer layer provides additional shock protection and blocks out dust, dirt and grime.
 
Protect Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+’s expansive displays from harm with Alpha Glass screen protection. The fortified, anti-shatter glass defends the display while reactive technology retains touchscreen sensitivity and is compatible with OtterBox Defender Series, Commuter Series and Symmetry Series cases for Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+.
 
The pricing for the series is as follows: Symmetry Series from AUD$49.95/NZD$54.95 for S8 and AUD$69.95/NZD$74.95 for S8+; Commuter Series from AUD$49.95/NZD$54.95 for S8 and AUD$69.95/NZD$74.95 for S8+; Strada Series Folio from AUD$64.95/NZD$69.95 for S8 and AUD$84.95/NZD$89.95 for S8+; and Defender Series from AUD$74.95/NZD$79.95 for S8 and AUD$89.95/NZD$94.95 for S8+.
