FORT COLLINS, Colo., June 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- There are two dreaded moments smartphone users are all too familiar with – a low battery notification and the impact during a drop. OtterBox® helps dissuade those fears with cutting-edge technology that delivers more than two times the battery power of the iPhone® and the security of superior, military-rated drop protection. Introducing the new Resurgence™ Power Case for Apple® iPhone 5/5s.

OtterBox Resurgence stands out with optimized, high-speed charging technology in a sleek yet sturdy case design. At 2000 milliamp hours (mAh), the power case more than doubles the battery power of the iPhone 5/5s, and four front-facing LED lights communicate the case battery charge level in 25 percent increments. Resurgence goes beyond power with superior device protection, meeting MIL STD 810G-516.6. The third-party rating drop tests the case on all faces, edges and corners from 4 ft.1

"The military standard drop testing that Resurgence Power Case has passed puts it in a class of its own," said OtterBox CEO Brian Thomas. "Now an industry first, Resurgence provides more than two times the battery power with serious, OtterBox trusted protection. This revolutionary battery case allows people to leave the plug behind and stay connected, worry free."

The two-piece snap design simplifies case assembly and removal. Resurgence is made up of a specially formulated polycarbonate to improve impact resistance and absorb energy from drops and bumps. A premium metallic finish with soft touch coating gives the power case a polished look in black, glacier, teal shimmer or satin rose.

The iPhone 5s battery case utilizes auto-stop technology, which conveniently shuts off the case when the phone has reached a full charge, saving extra battery power for later and eliminating the need to closely watch the device's battery level when charging. Resurgence supports both wired and wireless syncing without removing the case and includes a headphone jack extender which doubles as a headphone cord keeper.

Resurgence is now available on otterbox.com and select retail locations for $99.95. For more information, visit otterbox.com.
