Accessorize This Spring Season With Trident Case's Floral Kim Parker Designer Series

When you partner Trident Case™, a leading manufacturer of stylishly designed but rugged mobile phone and tablet cases, with Kim Parker, an internationally acclaimed artist, lifestyle designer, and author, the end-result is a series of ultra-protective, floral device cases perfect for any fashion-forward female this spring season.

“What’s so great about the Kim Parker designer series of cases is that customers aren’t forced to sacrifice protection for style – and vice versa,” said Trident Vice President of Marketing Vickie Achee. “Like all Trident cases, the Kim Parker series offers maximum protection and durability; however, Kim Parker’s floral designs make the cases the perfect accessory for the spring season.”

“While using my own Apple iPhone and iPad products, I realized that smartphone and tablet cases could serve as the perfect canvas for my floral patterns,” said Kim Parker. “The new Kim Parker designer series for Trident Case reflects my brand's signature style of exuberant floral design. It is a wonderful canvas combining Trident Case's modern and sleek forms with my organic, rich colors and patterns." 

The American designer’s vibrant prints are licensed on various surfaces such as bedding, bath, designer rugs, pillows, housewares, tableware, giftware, wall art, stationery and fashion accessories. Now, she’s entering the world of mobile and tablet accessories with none other than Trident Case™. “We’re honored to be Kim Parker’s first partner in the world of technology accessories,” Achee continued.

Tech Hygiene Became a Reality at CES 2015!

If there was any doubt that Tech Hygiene was one of the major story lines of CES 2015, it was put to rest today with the announcement by WHOOSH! Inc. CEO Jason Greenspan that an estimated 10,000 mobile device screens were cleaned and polished with WHOOSH! Screen Shine throughout the four-day show. 

“By any measure, CES 2015 was the most successful show in the three-year history of the company,” Greenspan said today. “Our booth was jammed every day with people who wanted to learn more about how to make Tech Hygiene a part of their lives. What’s more, we gave away thousands of WHOOSH! Screen Shine samples to show attendees to get them started practicing good Tech Hygiene.” 

According to Greenspan, the company is now finalizing delivery dates and pricing for the company’s newly expanded line of Tech Hygiene cleaning solutions, which includes WHOOSH! Wipes andWHOOSH! BLAST. “WHOOSH! Screen Shine Wipes and WHOOSH! BLAST provide additional ways for consumers to practice Tech Hygiene and keep their screens, gadgets and devices clean. Our retail partners are excited how we are revolutionizing the category and driving sales,” Greenspan emphasized.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine Wipes combine pre-treated disposable wet and dry cloths into a single serve packages that make them easy to carry and use. Consumers can safely clean, polish, and protect all of their tech and gadget devices by first using the wet Wipe cloth and then polishing it with the dry cloth. “New WHOOSH! Screen Shine Wipes deliver the same great result as our original WHOOSH! Screen Shine screen cleaner spray,” Greenspan explained. “Now it’s available in a different configuration to suit consumers who are very accustomed to regularly washing their hands with handi-wipe type products.” 

Additionally, available in a 10-ounce canister at a suggested retail price of $8.99 (USD), new WHOOSH! BLAST compressed gas duster is designed to enable consumers to maintain a more complete tech hygiene program — particularly as it applies to their notebooks and PCs, which often attract all sorts of dirt, dust, and crumbs in and around the keyboard. “New WHOOSH! BLAST has been designed to deliver a burst of compressed gas that effectively ‘blasts’ dirt, dust, and crumbs out from among the keyboard keys. Then consumers can use their WHOOSH! Screen Shine solution of choice to complete the cleaning and polishing of their device,” Greenspan emphasized. 

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is the next generation screen cleaner that is made with non-toxic and biodegradable surfactants instead of with harsh chemicals that can damage mobile devices. Leveraging the latest advancements in formula development, WHOOSH! is specifically developed to be a safe yet powerful cleaning solution that cleans both screens and devices — making them shine like new while leaving an ultra-thin invisible coating that provides a resistance to dirt build-up, smudges, and fingerprints. WHOOSH! does not contain alcohol, acids, ammonia, chlorine, petroleum distillates, phosphates or volatile organic compounds.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is available for purchase at all North American Apple stores and at more than 2500 Walmart stores, as well as in Staples Canada, Canadian Tire, and Shoppers Drug Mart stores. WHOOSH! can also be purchased at www.whooshscreenshine.com.

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is available in a number of sizes: Duo+ (one 3.4 fluid ounces and one .3 fluid ounces) is for a suggested retail price of $19.99, Pocket (.3 fluid ounces) for $5.99 and Go (1 fluid ounce) for $9.99. All sizes come with a 6”x6” W! micro-fiber cloth. WHOOSH is also available for the commercial, industrial, and education markets.  WHOOSH! Screen Cleaner made its debut at CES 2014 where it became the only screen and device cleaner to be awarded two coveted CES Innovations Design & Engineering Awards.

“We believe that 2015 will be the year that millions of consumers finally understand the importance of practicing good tech hygiene and now WHOOSH! solutions are available in a broader array of configurations to suit individual needs and lifestyles,” explained WHOOSH! Inc. CEO Jason Greenspan.  “2014 was a year of record-breaking growth for the company that saw us gain distribution in all North American Apple stores, Walmart, Staples Canada, Target Canada, Fryes, and Shoppers Mart, among others.  In fact, WHOOSH! is now available in more than 5,000 locations here in North America.  In addition, we have begun distributing the line in Asia and Europe, with additional distributor agreements likely to come out of this CES.” 

Available for delivery in Q1, WHOOSH! Screen Shine Wipes combine pre-treated disposable wet and dry cloths into single serve packages that make them as easy to carry and use as handi-wipes are for hand cleaning.  Consumers can safely clean, polish, and protect all of their tech and gadget devices by, first, using the wet Wipe cloth and, then, polishing it with the dry cloth.  “New WHOOSH! Screen Shine Wipes deliver the same amazing super, natural, clean result as our original WHOOSH! Screen Shine screen cleaner spray,” Greenspan explained.  “Now it’s available in a different configuration to suit consumers who are very accustomed to regularly washing their hands with handi-wipe type products.”

Also available for immediate delivery in a 10-ounce canister at a suggested retail price of $8.99., new WHOOSH!

BLAST has been designed to deliver an burst of compressed gas that effectively ‘blasts’ dirt, dust, and crumbs out from among the keyboard keys.  Then consumers can use their WHOOSH! Screen Shine solution of choice to complete the cleaning and polishing of their device.”   

In conjunction with the introduction of an expanded product line At CES 2015 Greenspan said that the company will once again host its free Screen Check-Up for all show attendees who want to see just how dirty their phone or tablet screen is.  “Our before and after test will really demonstrate just how effective WHOOSH! Screen Shine is, and when the test is complete, we will give each person a free trial sample of WHOOSH! Screen Shine.”

Core Brands Debuts Furman P-8 Pro C Power Conditioner Featuring Advanced Power Management for Audio, Video and Broadcast

Underscoring its commitment to meet the increasingly complex and challenging power conditioning needs of audio, video and broadcast professionals, Core Brands today introduced the Furman P-8 PRO C Power Conditioner. This Classic Series 20Amp power conditioner delivers superior protection, outstanding performance and exclusive Furman technologies such as Series Multi-Stage Protection (SMP) and Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT).

Featuring a rugged 1-RU chassis with a minimalistic front panel, the P-8 PRO C is ideal for power conditioning applications where front panel metering and illumination are not required. The P-8 PRO C provides users with Furman’s acclaimed SMP surge protection circuit. The technology’s ability to safely absorb, clamp and dissipate transient voltages virtually eliminates service calls. The device’s over-voltage circuitry (EVS) protects against accidental connections to 208 or 240 VAC by shutting off incoming power until over-voltage is completely corrected.

The nine-outlet unit is also equipped with LiFT — providing filtration against excessive AC line noise, ensuring optimal performance without any leakage to ground.

“Our new P-8 PRO C classic series power conditioner for audio/video professionals builds on the success of Furman’s renowned P-8 PRO II,” said John Benz, Director of Power and Accessories for Core Brands. “Using our power protection and filtering capabilities, the P-8 PRO C features our venerable Series Multi-Stage Protection circuit as well as Furman’s exclusive Linear Filter Technology, creating advanced and comprehensive transient voltage suppression and conditioning for any professional A/V application.”

More information on the P-8 PRO C and Furman’s full line of products is available at www.furmansound.com. 

Trident Case Introduces New Qi-Enabled Case and Charger Series, Offering Wireless Charging For Mobile Devices

Furthering its commitment to provide the most innovative accessories for every mobile device, Trident Case® today announced the introduction of the expanded Trident Electra Qi Series, a new line of wireless chargers and cases that leverages Qi inductive charging technology to wirelessly charge mobile devices. The new series is comprised of five wireless chargers and four Qi-capable cases.
 
“We are proud to announce our membership with the Wireless Power Consortium to develop and introduce wireless chargers for Trident Case users,” Trident Vice President of Marketing Erin Luzzi said today. “Inductive charging eliminates the need for a power cord or battery replacement, making devices more convenient. Now, Trident users can charge their mobile devices with any one of our five easy-to-use chargers that use Qi wireless charging technology.”
 
Since some devices are not Qi-compatible, Trident Case is also introducing a line of Electra Qi cases that enables the Apple®’s iPhone® 4/4S and iPhone 5/5S, and Samsung®’s Galaxy S® IV and Samsung Galaxy S5 to wirelessly charge with Trident’s new Qi accessories. The Electra qi Charging Case for iPhone 4s, the Electra qi Charging Case for iPhone 5s, the Electra qi Charging Case for Samsung Galaxy SIV and the Electra qi Charging Case for Samsung Galaxy S5 enable users to charge their devices by simply placing them on the Electra wireless charging pads. The cases also feature a sleek outer-framework that encloses the device and provides protection. A self-applicable screen protector helps to keep the device’s screen in optimal condition.
 
Trident’s new Electra qi Double Charging Pad enables users to charge their phone by placing it directly on top of a soft-touch polycarbonate charging pad. It has enough room to charge two devices at once, plus a convenient media stand that allows angling at 20 degrees and 45 degrees while anti-skid feet keep the charging pad in place. The pad supports all Qi-compatible one amp devices, including smartphones, digital cameras, mp3 players and more. Similarly, the Electra qi Single Charging Pad offers the same capabilities for one mobile device at a time. The pad includes an indicator light, as well as an anti-skid ribbon and anti-skid feet to keep the device in place while charging.
 
While on the go, mobile device users can bring along Trident’s Electra qi Power Bank Power 4000 to ensure that their devices remain charged in the absence of an outlet. The portable Qi charger comes equipped with a rechargeable 4000 mAh lithium polymer battery and an LED light to indicate the mobile device’s charging status. Users can place a Qi-compatible mobile device on top of the pad, or plug any USB-chargeable device into the side USB port.
 
Designed to provide drivers with a portable charging station, Trident’s Electra qi Car Charging Holder enables users to wirelessly charge their devices by sliding their Qi-equipped device into an opening slit at the top of the charger. Also supporting one amp devices, the small and compact design makes the product compatible with most standard in-vehicle cup holders.
 
For non Qi-enabled mobile devices, Trident’s Wireless Charging Adapter includes permanently connected micro-USB and lightning charging cables for compatibility with all of today’s most popular devices. The adapter works with the Qi-equipped Wireless Charging Pad to charge non-compatible Qi devices portably. The charging adapter also features a green LED light that indicates that the adapter is wirelessly connected to the pad and is transmitting power.
 
Luzzi asserts that wireless charging offers many benefits to mobile device users, as Qi cases eliminate the need for a power cord or battery replacement while ensuring that phones sustain battery throughout the day. “Wireless chargers also reduce energy costs by leveraging the ability to power multiple devices from a single source,” she said.
 
Qi (pronounced Chee) is an interface standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium for inductive electrical power transfer, designed to deliver the best user experience and offer the most innovative charging method on the market.
 
Qi utilizes inductive charging, which is a method of moving power wirelessly. In order to transfer power, a power-generating source system is placed near a power storing system. An electromagnetic field is generated between the two objects, and power then moves from one system to the other.
 
Qi is also fully compatible, meaning that any phone or device carrying the Qi logo will work with any charging surface that also carries the Qi logo. Qi-enabled devices include the Blackberry® Z30, Google Nexus® 7, Nokia® Lumia Series, LG® G2, HTC® Droid and many more.
 
Trident Case is a member of the Wireless Power Consortium, with products in the process of being officially approved. All approved Trident Case products will be added to the Wireless Power Consortium website for consumers and businesses to verify authenticity.
 
Trident Case offers six series of protective carrying solutions providing one, two, or three layers of protection: Kraken A.M.S. Series, Aegis Series, Cyclops Series, Perseus A.M.S. Series, Electra Series, and Apollo Series. All Trident cases use bio-enhanced, plastic based products that are recyclable, compostable, and degradable. Trident cases are manufactured in the USA.
