PRESS RELEASE

Accessories immediately available online, hit retail shelves soon 

Aylesbury - November 15, 2012 - Kensington, the worldwide leader in delivering smart. safe. simple.TM accessories, introduces a funky new line of cases  for iPhone 5, iPad mini and Samsung Galaxy S III models. Inspired by the upcoming fashion trends for men's and women's accessories, Kensington has teamed up with Californian designer Sasha Vermel to develop a completely new line of fashion cases that reflect smartphone and tablet users' sense of style and flair.

Kensington has combined everyday toughness with a brand new range of cases that are stylish enough to give a smartphone or tablet user that individual touch of additional class. Working together with designer Sasha represents a new high-point for Kensington, says Stephen Hoare, European Marketing Director at Kensington: "Based on our 30-year history of delivering high quality, affordable accessories, the new Kensington Fashion series is our boldest, most stylish ever range, with a choice of designs that are bound to appeal to smartphone and tablet buyers of all ages."

Designer Sasha Vermel says: "Smartphone and tablets need a cover to keep them from getting scratched in everyday use. We've come up with a range of covers that extend the fashion statement that users are making with their choice of phone or tablet, offering a stunning choice of cases to match individual style. With six different personas and a choice of texture and style for each, there's definitely one for everyone. There's no need to compromise and hide your phone away in a cheap and nasty plastic shell when you can flaunt your fashion with a Kensington case."

Ensuring a wide appeal for the New Kensington Fashion series, the company is introducing six personas representing six different styles - Industrial, Varsity, Americano, Sophisticate, Cheeky and Downtown. This means smartphone and tablet users can find their style and boost it with fashionable accessories.

Individual lines within the series each tell their own story: 

  • Industrial - Architectural lines and subtle cues expressed in a polished and modern style.
  • Varsity - As sharp and simple as a polo shirt combined with your favorite pair of trousers.
  • Americano - Authentic American as conveyed by wood and leather, with plenty of character.
  • Sophisticate - The epitome of classic fashion, with a look that is upscale but never uptight.
  • Cheeky - A rainbow of colour. Full of energy expression of optimism.
  • Downtown - Metallic finishes, deep colour and the grit of rock 'n' roll.

Kensington also gave the cases different shapes:

  • The Portafolio DuoTM Wallet: Protects the screen and all sides of the smartphone. The case ensures complete access to all ports, controls, touchscreen, and the camera.
