PRESS RELEASE
S8 owners can now ensure their brand new phone has the ultimate protection with D3O® shock absorbing technology
London – March 31st, 2017 – With a new smartphone announcement comes all the excitement of consumers rushing to get their hands on it first and with today’s launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+, GEAR4, the UK's number one impact protection case brand, are on hand to offer the best protection possible for all those shiny new devices. The new Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ case range, featuring D3O® - the most advanced shock absorbing technology for enhanced impact protection adds two brand new cases to the range, the Battersea and Greenwich as well as the new Oxford and the ever popular Piccadilly to colour match perfectly the new S8 and S8+.
The latest edition to the Samsung family can now be wrapped in the same D3O® impact absorbing technology that is trusted worldwide in military combat uniforms, motorcycle clothing and protective gear worn by pro athletes (including Usain Bolt). With these sorts of ringing endorsements, Galaxy S8 owners can be assured of unrivalled protection without adding bulk or unsightly padding to their new device.
GEAR4 designers have combined this unique technology with designs that enhance the elegant form of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ to deliver an unprecedented level of protection while still honoring the design of the device itself. All of the new GEAR4 cases for Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ are available at GEAR4.com and Carphone Warehouse.
The Greenwich
The Greenwich case for Galaxy S8 and S8+ is big on style, easy on the eye, and heavy on impact protection thanks to a higher proportion of D3O®.
Featuring the world’s first Metallic D3O® technology to perfectly colour match the S8 and S8+, the case appears as an extension of Galaxy S8 and S8+ adding minimal bulk, whilst offering the best protection possible. GEAR4 is the first case brand to use INJECTABLE D3O®, delivering more impact protection per cubic millimetre than other leading materials.
The Greenwich has a stylish grooved transparent polycarbonate back and is available in Orchid Grey, Gold, Silver and Black to perfectly frame the Galaxy S8 and S8+.
RRP £29.99
The Battersea
With a soft touch finish and grooved black polycarbonate styling for extra grip, Battersea offers style and reassurance that your device is protected against life’s everyday knocks and drops. It features extra D3O® to keep the Galaxy S8 and S8+ looking smart whilst staying safe. This little black number looks good and feels good anywhere, anytime.
RRP £29.99
The Piccadilly
The most popular case in the GEAR4 range, the Piccadilly is now available in new colours Coral Blue and Orchid Grey, perfect for Samsung fans who have splashed out on the Galaxy S8 or S8+ and don’t want to spoil the look of their phone with a bulky, case that hides the design of their device.
With the same Metallic D3O® technology as the Greenwich to perfectly colour match, Piccadilly is also scratch-protected with UV coating and offers easy access to all ports. Available in Black, Coral Blue, Silver, Gold and Orchid Grey.
RRP £29.99
The Oxford
With inbuilt D3O® smart material, the folio style Oxford case with a stylish flip screen and magnetic catch is the perfect choice for those who want that extra bit of screen protection to keep their new phone in pristine condition. Not only this, the Oxford’s flip screen doubles up as a viewing stand making it great for watching videos on the go and the two credit card slots mean wallets or purses can be left at home.
RRP £34.99
