Government industries significantly benefit from smartphone technology for improved communication, information retrieval and data entry at the touch of a button. However, demanding work environments increase the potential for broken devices and expensive repairs or replacements. At FOSE 2008, Otter Products, LLC. will exhibit with Verizon Wireless (Booth #1809) to showcase economical ways to add device longevity and protection with cases for BlackBerry® and Treo™ smartphones.

"As first year FOSE exhibitors, we hope to inform attendees on the benefits of using OtterBox cases for technology protection, especially for fast-paced government industries," said Curt Richardson, CEO of Otter Products, LLC. "While technology allows for improved efficiency in the field, broken devices cause downtime and are costly to repair. OtterBox enables individuals to take their devices virtually anywhere and conserve organizational budgets."

After investing in smartphone devices, safeguarding from dust, drops, dirt and scratches is a must. OtterBox offers several cases* through Verizon

Wireless including:
