iPad owners can now take advantage of D3O® shock absorbing technology to ensure their device has the ultimate protection
London – Feb. 13, 2017 – GEAR4, the UK’s number one trusted impact protection case brand, today launches in the United States its new Buckingham iPad TPU flip case range, featuring D3O – the most advanced shock absorbing technology for enhanced impact protection. The Buckingham case, linked to GEAR4’s British roots, combines modern forms and materials to deliver the ultimate combination of sleek protection. The case is available for iPad mini 4, Air2/Pro 9.7 inch and Pro 12.9 inch.
The D3O® impact technology used in the Buckingham case is the same material found in U.S. military combat gear, football helmets and protective wear used by pro athletes like Usain Bolt and extreme sportsmen, including Olympic ski teams. With these endorsements, iPad owners can rest assured that they have the most technologically advanced casing available on the market.
D3O® has a unique molecular structure. In standard conditions, the molecules flow freely allowing the material to remain soft and flexible, but upon impact, they lock together to absorb and dissipate the impact energy. This means your device stays safe when dropped. GEAR4 is the first to use an injection molded grade of D3O® technology to deliver more impact protection than other leading materials.
GEAR4 designers combined this unique technology with a functional design, featuring a landscape standing option for working at a desk, table or on a lap. The Buckingham has four slots for business or credit cards, and two larger slots for important documents. Its unique clip closure ensures the device, as well as valuable items, are kept safe during transport.
The Buckingham is available in black with orange, blue and grey trim from www.gear4.com
Buckingham – iPad Air2/ 9.7″ Pro – $69.99
Buckingham – iPad 12.9″ Pro – $69.99
Buckingham – iPad Mini 4 – $59.99
