Trident Case® Stands up to Germs with Its First Ever Line of Cases with Antimicrobial Product Protection

Underscoring its commitment to improving the quality of life for every smart device user, Trident Case®, manufacturer of rugged and durable mobile and tablet device cases, today announced the debut of its first ever line of cases that utilize Silver Seal™ antimicrobial product protection.  Silver Seal™ is an antimicrobial, fungistatic additive which reduces the growth of 99.99% of mold, mildew and odor causing bacteria on the product's surfaces. The new case line, debuting in black and white for the Kraken AMS Apple® iPhone® 5/5s/6/6 Plus, Kraken AMS Apple iPad® 2/3/4, Kraken AMS Samsung Galaxy® S5, and Cyclops Microsoft Surface Pro™ 3, will be unveiled at CES 2015 in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, Booth #5512.

“Trident’s line of Antimicrobial cases is unlike anything we’ve ever introduced before,” Trident Vice President of Marketing Vickie Achee said today. “By incorporating the iShieldz Antimicrobial Screen Protection System and utilizing Silver Seal™ technology, we are now able to make tech cleanliness a reality for all mobile and tablet devices.”

Powered by iShieldz and protected with Silver Seal™ technology, Trident’s Antimicrobial cases are infused with silver ions that keep the product cleaner, greener and fresher, while preventing the growth of up to 99.99% of mold, mildew and odor causing bacteria.  Coupled with the iShieldz Antimicrobial Screen Protection System, both the Kraken AMS and Cyclops for Microsoft Surface Pro™ 3 Antimicrobial cases offer the ultimate product protection from bacteria growth and drops or spills.

“Trident’s Kraken AMS and Cyclops series are the toughest and most durable cases we offer,” Achee added. “Paired with iShieldz Antimicrobial screen protection and protected by Silver Seal™ technology, these cases offer the ultimate device protection.”

According to iShieldz, the average cell phone harbors more germs and viruses than a public toilet seat, and nearly one third of those microbes can be transferred to your skin on contact. The iShieldz Antimicrobial Screen Protection System with Silver Seal™ Technology offers the ultimate level of device protection. The Silver Seal™ solution utilizes all-natural, pure-silver ions in an inert soluble glass structure. The solution’s inorganic nature insures a highly safe, non-volatile and long-lasting level of antimicrobial protection.

Trident’s Kraken A.M.S. Series is 20% thinner than the previous version, eliminating bulk without sacrificing the high level of protection. Thanks to a new engineering design that overmold TPE onto a PC (polycarbonate) shell, combining a cushioned interior within a hard, rigid exterior, the device is well protected within the case. Kraken A.M.S. series cases are independently tested to meet Military Standard MIL-STD-810F on vibration, dust, sand, rain or drops. That covers just about every type of “just in case” situation a user might encounter.  

Overmolded with TPE and polycarbonate, Trident’s Cyclops case for the Surface Pro™ 3 protects tablets against drops and other impacts while simultaneously boasting an ultra slim and adaptable design. The user-friendly case guarantees convenience as well, as it is compatible with all angles of the Surface Pro 3 kickstand. In addition, a removable cover port enables seamless use with the Surface Pro 3 Type Cover keyboard, while the case is still on.

Trident’s cases with antimicrobial product protection are currently available through special order. The Kraken AMS for iPad 2/3/4 has an MSRP of $129.95, the Kraken AMS for iPhone 5/5s has an MSRP of $79.95, the Kraken AMS for iPhone 6 has an MSRP of $79.95, the Kraken AMS for iPhone 6 Plus has an MSRP of $89.95, the Kraken AMS for Samsung Galaxy S5 has an MSRP of $79.95 and the Cyclops Case for Microsoft Surface Pro™ 3 has an MSRP of $159.95.

eShields and Trident Case© Form Bilateral Distribution Agreement

Innovative agreement provides both parties with access to each other’s current and future customers and distributors. 

eShields, LLC, the Southern California based company that originated the patented iShieldz™ touch-screen protection system and Trident Case©LLC, the industry leading manufacturer and marketer of rugged eco-friendly smartphone and tablet cases, today announced that the two companies have entered into a non-exclusive bilateral distribution agreement that will provide each company with access to the other’s customers and distributors.

"We believe strongly that this partnership will be mutually beneficial as it will afford one another access to customers and distribution networks currently not online with the other,” said Andrew Mason, Chief Executive Officer of eShields. "Our warehouses are located only a few miles from one another and this close proximity provides an added benefit that allows for quick turn around and delivery to our respective customers.”

According to ABI Research, “By 2017, smartphone accessories will grow to $38 billion in revenues, while feature phone accessory revenues decline to $12 billion.  The opportunity to earn high margins from the sale of handset accessory products is becoming an increasingly attractive proposition, not only for OEMs, ODMs, distributors, and retailers, but also for handset vendors and mobile operators as well. Handset vendors are realizing that accessories can contribute to increasing sales and extend the product cycle of their high-end devices and mobile operators are finding that accessories can lead to higher ARPUs as they provide better comfort, convenience, and user experiences of mobile services. Also, handset accessories provide handset vendors and mobile operators further opportunities in brand building and promotion, as well as in expanding their product offerings. 

“The market is vast and eShields is prepared for exponential growth both economically as well as through infrastructure.  Jointly we will be developing unique and innovative accessories that have never been seen in the market before, which is no small feat. There is obvious synergy between our organizations and we are excited to be working with the team at Trident moving forward,” concluded Mason.

According to Lip Yow, President of Trident Case, “This partnership strategically positions both companies to leverage each other’s greatest assets, bring new business opportunities to our dealers, and meaningful new products to our customers.  It is a partnership that underscores Trident’s commitment to always make the very best solutions available to its dealers and consumers.  Our two sales teams will soon be offering some very exciting new cross promotion programs!”
