Dedicated to providing ideal solutions for the latest mobile devices, Trident Case®, designer and manufacturer of innovative education, business and lifestyle case solutions, announced its CES 2016 product line-up, including state-of-the-art solutions that both power and protect today’s mobile devices. At booth #6106 in the Las Vegas Convention Center, Trident Case is showcasing its Apple Watch accessories, including the Valet Charging Pedestal and Curve Charging Mount; Electra Qi Power Base 6000; Microsoft Surface Pro 4 protective solutions; and more. 

“We’re thrilled to showcase our latest solutions at the biggest consumer electronics show in the world,” Trident Case Vice President of Sales and Marketing Steve Bellow explained. “As mobile devices continue to expand into all aspect of our lives, Trident is dedicated to providing solutions that not only keep every popular device protected, but also make the device easier and more enjoyable to use. The products we’re exhibiting at CES deliver on this promise, providing more options to mobile device users than ever before.”

For Apple Watch users, Trident offers two new solutions to make charging the device easier than ever. First, the Valet Charging Pedestal creates a charging station that’s simple, effective and aesthetically pleasing, allowing users to charge their iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously. Crafted with plush fabric lining and a premium leather finish, the Valet fits seamlessly into any setting. Next, the six-inch Curve Charging Mount provides an in-car power solution for users on the go. This innovative accessory enables users to wirelessly charge and mount their Apple Watch in environments that require flexibility. Compatible with all versions of the Apple Watch, the unique design of the 6-inch Curve Charging Mount bends to fit in a variety of different spaces, while simultaneously managing messy cables.

Combining Qi technology with a 6000 mA/h battery, the Electra Qi Power Base 6000 wireless charger powers Qi compatible phones as well as other devices through a USB cable. With the ability to charge two mobile devices at once, the device allows Qi-enabled devices to charge on its base, while a USB port is available to power a second device. This USB charging feature can support all mobile devices, whether they are Qi-enabled or not.

Protecting against drops up to four feet, Trident’s new Cyclops case for the Surface Pro 4 is designed with convenience in mind, offering superior protection with minimal bulk. Useful features include water-resistant mesh that protects speakers and vents from dust and moisture and sealed device controls and ports for superior protection. The Aegis Series Signature Edition is designed with a chic, premium leather finish that protects the Surface Pro 4 against drops and bumps, with a padded, soft micro-fiber interior.

Each case can be easily fitted onto a Surface Pro 4 with the simple, snap-on installation process. Users still have complete access to all of ports and controls through openings in the side of the case. In addition, the cases are compatible with the Surface Type Cover keyboard, so users can compose documents and send emails without removing the case.

Latin Percussion®, Toca® and Gibraltar® Percussion Brands Return to KMC Music as Part of New Distribution Agreement

Underscoring its unique ability to provide manufacturers with a broad and deep reach to every segment of the MI retail marketplace, KMC Music (www.kmcmusic.com) today announced that it has been appointed by Drum Workshop, Inc. (www.dwdrums.com) to serve as the preeminent United States distributor with the largest selection of Latin Percussion®, Toca®, and Gibraltar® percussion brands.  Drum Workshop acquired the brands three months ago in an asset sale agreement with then KMC Music owner, Fender Musical Instruments, Inc. 

“We welcome the return of these great brands to the KMC Music family,” KMC Music President Mark Terry said today.  “This is a great moment for our dealers, who can now again order the Latin Percussion, Toca, and Gibraltar brands from the industry’s best high value added distributor, KMC Music!  Drum Workshop’s appointment is a true testament to KMC Music’s unique capabilities.”

Under the terms of the agreement announced today, KMC Music assumes immediate responsibility for selling, marketing, and supporting the three industry leading percussion brands to all non Drum Workshop house accounts, providing KMC Music’s sales team with the ability to bring the brands to some 6,000 additional MI dealers across the country.  “This appointment reaffirms KMC Music’s distribution strengths,” Terry emphasized, “And, in the process, it effectively cements our position as the industry’s most complete one-stop shopping resource for any MI dealer looking to offer their customers the broadest range of percussion brands and options at every major price point.”

The Latin Percussion, Toca, and Gibraltar brands now join KMC Music’s existing arsenal of percussion lines that include Remo drumheads, Vater Percussion, World Percussion, Vic Firth Drumsticks, Evans Drumheads, ProMark Drumsticks, DW Hardware, PDP hardware and drums, Regal Tip drum sticks, and Innovative Percussion. 

Commenting on the appointment today, Drum Workshop, Inc. President Chris Lombardi noted that, “KMC Music is the logical solution considering the history they have with these iconic brands.  They are a natural complement to our own sales organization and they possess the field sales and telemarketing teams, the service and support staffs, the year-round promotion programs, and the logistics and fulfillment capability needed to bring the Latin Percussion, Toca, and Gibraltar brands to the widest possible audience of musicians.  We very much look forward to working with the entire KMC team.”
