Smartphone technology has forever changed the traditional toolbox providing industries across the board with convenience at the touch of a button. While productivity and profitability have increased due to the ability to make a phone call, retrieve a proposal or even send an email right from the jobsite, these devices are not intended for harsh environments and one bump or drop can lead to expensive repairs or replacements.

“My BlackBerry allows me to access information anywhere. I can call the home office, manage appointments and use the memo pad for storing building codes for different work sites,” said David Gray, HVAC Project Manager, Northern Colorado Front Range. “Once while up on a ladder my phone fell out of its holster and hit the ground, shattering the screen. I had to go a week without phone, email and schedules.”

Lost contacts, appointments and inaccessibility leads to frustration and downtime, but with protective cases from Otter Products, LLC., industry professionals can take their BlackBerry virtually anywhere without walking on eggshells.

“Due to my work environment, I needed something that was durable and would last. I’m always on the go--climbing, kneeling, jumping and bending--and my previous BlackBerry holster couldn’t hold up to the job. OtterBox provides me with security for my phone so I don’t have to be overly cautious. It’s peace of mind,” added Gray.

Whether he’s on a skyscraper in downtown Denver, a boiler room in the basement, on a roof above an indoor pool or in a ceiling at an office building, Gray knows his device is fully protected with OtterBox. He can access the company’s database to contact fellow employees, obtain a PO and even research manufacture’s information online right through the case.

As part of the Defender Series™ line, OtterBox offers cases for the BlackBerry 8800™, Curve, Pearl 8100™ and the new Pearl 8120™ and 8130™ Series. Cases have three layers of protection: a thermal formed clear membrane to protect the screen and keyboard, a hi-impact polycarbonate shell and a silicone skin that wraps over the device to absorb bump and shock. *
