FORT COLLINS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OtterBox® makes a splash with the Armor Series®, now available on otterbox.com for the Samsung® Galaxy S3. The most extreme OtterBox series now provides protection for this highly adopted Samsung smartphone.

“OtterBox has been designing protective waterproof solutions for smartphone innovations since the start,” OtterBox President and CEO Brian Thomas said. “The Armor Series was a top product in our portfolio six years ago and we’re excited to announce the expansion of this classic, proven line to now include Android.”

The Armor Series delivers unrivaled protection for the Samsung Galaxy S3 and, living up to the OtterBox name, is fully equipped with four innovative layers to provide protection from water, drop, dust and crush. It has been tested to perform at the following specifications*:

6.6 ft. underwater for up to 30 minutes**
10 ft. drop
0 entry of dust or debris
2-ton crush

The exterior layer, combined with a tough, built-in screen protector, is made of high-strength reinforced plastic and designed for long-term use even in extreme conditions. Built in port covers open quickly and easily for charging and headphone use. Zinc alloy metal latches secure the waterproof seal, resist corrosion and provide ultimate durability. Drop protection has been tested from heights up to10 ft. with over-molded bumpers made of advanced materials that resist deterioration from skin oils. Soft foam provides a cushioned, custom fit for the device in the interior and sound is transmitted through the non-permeable membrane and protective mesh layer over the device vents. A lanyard is included for on-the-go, hands-free carrying.
