Announcement posted by Simms International 19 Jan 2010

InvisibleSHIELD the latest strategic addition to Simms’ portfolio

Simms International, the leading Apple distributor and supplier of IT products and services, has announced the latest addition to its product portfolio: invisibleSHIELD(TM), manufactured by ZAGG Inc.

invisibleSHIELD is an ultra-tough, patented film for protecting electronic devices such as iPods, laptops, cell phones, digital cameras, PDAs and GPS systems. It is the first scratch protection solution of its kind on the market.

Combining military-grade scratch protection with precision-cut designs, the invisibleSHIELD allows customers to use electronic devices without the fear of scratches or nicks, while maintaining the aesthetic look and feel of their mobile device.

Danny Moore, Managing Director of Simms International, said: “The new addition of invisibleSHIELD to our product portfolio is a perfect complement to our Apple iPod and laptop business.”

“invisibleSHIELD is the number one product in the field which entirely fits Simms’ determination to partner with category leading vendors,” he said.

Paul Branagan, who represents invisibleSHIELD in Australia, said: “We are very excited about this relationship with Simms. They have such a good reputation, particularly within the Apple brand, so they are a great match for us.

“Although invisibleSHIELD is perfect for a variety of brands, Apple is our number one priority.”

Simms has identified opportunities for invisibleSHIELD across its customer set, in particular its top iPod and iPhone retailers.

“We’re here to support Simms across their corporate and retail channels,” Branagan said.
