Proporta’s essential protection for your BlackBerry Curve…
The Blackberry Curve, also known as the Blackberry 8300, is the smallest and lightest full QWERTY Blackberry device released to date. Like the previous Blackberry Pearl, the Curve falls more into the category of mobile phones than the standard Blackberry device with its business user functionality and compact dimensions. The Blackberry Curve also has the advantage of a full keyboard for easy messaging and boasts an upgrade to other Blackberry models, with a 2 megapixel camera. With such a delicate device which can be so easily stored when on the move, it is important to keep the Blackberry Curve and all its features fully protected from keys, loose change and other dangers lurking at the bottom of your pocket – Proporta has come up with a number of protective solutions.
Cases…
The trademark Proporta Alu-Leather Case BlackBerry 8300/Curve Series is custom made to fit the exact specifications of your BlackBerry 8300/Curve. A layer of rigid, yet light, aircraft grade aluminium is built into the leather which covers the screen to subtly protect it against crushing and impact shocks.
Proporta realise the importance of having ultimate view of the screen so the case uses a C-clip to hold the device in place. There is also no need for the device to be removed from the case as all the necessary cut aways allow access to all ports and controls.
In addition, secure internal MMC/SD memory card storage is included in the case and a removable belt-clip is also available on request for quick and easy access to your mobile device.
The Proporta Silicone Case (BlackBerry 8300/Curve Series) gives your BlackBerry 8300/Curve a tough, protective skin, giving you access to all ports and controls, whilst protecting it from scratching and impact damage.
The Silicone case adds little more than a millimetre to the device enabling you to carry it around comfortably in your pocket.
Screen Protection…
For even more protection for your BlackBerry 8300/Curve use the Proporta Advanced Screen Protector to protect your BlackBerry from scratches, scrapes and dust evasion. It incorporates an improved thickness, made from a new ultra high-clarity plastic, without impairing screen brightness and clarity. This protector is also fully washable and replaceable.

Tom Jones told you about the OtterBox iPod nano case and just how much he loved it. Well, if you’re looking for similar protection for your newly acquired iPhone, guess what? OtterBox has got you covered. Literally.
The OtterBox for iPhone is in the works and will soon be available for full protection of your Apple phone. It’ll fit both the 4 GB and 8 GB versions giving them both 3 layers of protection. The phone will be entirely encased yet with OtterBox’s patented touch-screen membrane, you’ll still be able to access all the icons and use your finger to navigate while in the case. All buttons, such as home, sleep, volume, and power are still accessible as well. Yes, and even the dock connector can be used through OtterBox supplied plugs. Tap it off with a full swivel belt clip and you have one mighty fine case for your iPhone!
Imagine designing a rugged case that completely seals a device, such as a Smartphone, from water, dust and dirt. Now add the challenge of providing sound transmission through the microphone and speaker openings without compromising protection. Impossible?
Several months ago, OtterBox engineers faced this very dilemma. Donaldson Acoustic Vents proved the ideal solution for ensuring optimal sound quality while increasing the device protection offered by OtterBox.
Donaldson’s acoustically transparent filtration vents seal microphone and speaker openings on OtterBox Smartphone cases from everyday elements. The vents serve as effective barriers to contaminants such as hairspray, oils, perspiration and water. They also reduce wind noise and minimize frequency transmission loss. The vents’ ability to withstand temperature fluctuations makes them perfect for OtterBox customers who operate in harsh work environments like construction, engineering and military.
“Donaldson Acoustic Vents are superior in quality, and their acoustical properties are great for sound transmission throughout the OtterBoxes,” said Jason Thompson, Mechanical Engineer. “They also provide an IP54 rating for water protection, which safeguards devices from splash and heavy rain.”
So how do they work? Donaldson Acoustic Vents adhere over sound openings at the top of the case for the speaker and at the base of the microphone. Through a pressure-sensitive adhesive ring, the vent securely fastens to the inside of the opening to withstand extreme environments.
“The competitive price point and quality of the Donaldson vents made our selection decision an easy one,” said Thompson.
“Donaldson engineers have been creating solutions to contamination issues for more than 90 years, and we’re excited to partner with innovative companies like OtterBox in increasing the value of their products through effective contamination control,” commented Peggy Herrmann, VP of Disk Drive, Semiconductor, Fuel Cell, and Venting Solutions at Donaldson Company, Inc.
OtterBox also uses standard Donaldson Filtration Vents for OtterBox Rugged Laptop Carrying Cases, which provide an IP67 rating for complete water protection.
Hey, if you’re looking to really protect your iPod nano, then you may want to read our resident reviewer Tom Jones’ thoughts of the OtterBox nano case.
Tom’s a machinist by day (no, he doesn’t sing in Vegas) and is around a lot of stuff that could wreck his iPod. With the OtterBox, he was tempting fate by completely forgetting about his dirty hands and changing tracks or pausing the current selection. Or how about all that oil and coolant that could get on his nano? Well, you’ll have to read his review to find out…plus the shower “scene” will surely crack you up.

Following the release of the Eten Glofiish X500, the Eten Glofiish M700 joins the HTC TyTN and HTC P4350 (Herald) on the stage of advancing mobile technology.

The basics…
The Proporta Alu-Leather Case allows you to combine the elegance of quality leather with the rigidity of aluminium. The case protects both the screen and the keyboard with a sheet of aircraft grade aluminium encased within leather.

The clever bit…
The Proporta Alu-Leather Case (Eten Glofiish M700) allows you to slide your keyboard back and forth whilst in the case, so you don’t have to remove it in order to take advantage of the fantastic feature. The keyboard slides underneath a thin, built-in housing, to keep the device secure but allow constant access to the keyboard.
Extra help…
While the case is open, a little screen reassurance is necessary. The Proporta Advanced Screen Protector is washable and replaceable, and protects the screen against minor injuries such as scratches and smudges.

Digital Lifestyle Outfitters, or DLO, thought it would liven up the iPod nano case category with some spiffy new way to protect your sacred digital music library. Not to be confused with the 70s game that entangled people by having each player place their hands and feet on various colored spots, DLO’s aptly named Twister, lets you change the look of your case in an instant. DLO tells us that, “With a quick spin of the cover, you can go from gently distressed, high-quality black leather to a fashion-forward, Burberry-inspired plaid.” There’s the 70s thing again. Yup, you read right, plaid. But dude, the plaid works better here than it did on Greg Brady while living up-upstairs in the attic with his beaded entry door.
The hand-stitched leather case will give your 1st and 2nd generation iPod nanos full protection while giving you quick and easy access to the click-wheel and screen. For only $24.99, you can protect your iPod nano today and look far out!
We talked about the all new line of cases that Proporta released for the Microsoft Zune a few weeks ago, and now Proporta has a new case designed for the Treo. The Lateral Case (Treo 700) is based on the well designed and very popular Alu-Leather case, which includes better side protection for the Treo, the highlight of the new case. Proporta based their design on consumer evaluation and review. This case combines the stability and protection needed with aircraft grade aluminum, while keeping it’s stylish look with premium leather. Aluminum is also encased inside the leather which produces Proporta’s unique “screen saver” system, to protect your beloved Treo from impacts and shocks. You can still access all ports and controls while the Treo is still in the case because of it’s flip design. Just fold the cover behind the case for easy access without compromising on safety and protection. The side clasps of the Lateral Case are lined with neoprene to make sure your device slides into the case easily while making sure the aluminum reinforcement doesn’t scratch it. Also inclued is a strong magnetic clasp to ensure that your Treo will stay in place. Also included is storage space for two SD/MMC cards.
The Lateral Case is available to ship today. Proporta wants to hear from it’s consumers, so if you decide to buy one (find out more at www.proporta.com/lateral) and have some suggestions for improvements, go ahead and email Proporta at suggestions@proporta.com.
