Ballistic Offers Tough Jacket For PlayBook

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. – Ballistic introduced a new ruggedized case for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet.

The Ballistic Tough Jacket offers three layers of protection: an inner silicone layer, an impact-resistant hard plastic shell and a shock-absorbent polymer layer.

The Jacket includes the company’s proprietary reinforced Ballistic Corners, which adds a stronger level of shock absorption for the corners of the tablet, the company said. It also includes a front-cover screen protector that can be removed and snapped to the back to act as a kickstand, allowing hands-free viewing in landscape orientation.

“Large touchscreen devices require an even greater amount of security to guarantee that such a big investment is properly protected,” said Adam Stubin, business development VP. “By now offering our customers this reliable protection for their Black- Berry PlayBook, we are progressing towards our future of creating innovative and dependable cases for the plethora of tablets and other devices on the market.”

The Tough Jacket retails for $69.99.

Ballistic is an authorized supplier of Built For Blackberry products.

Skooba Adds Downsized Cable Organizer

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Skooba Design has introduced a downsized version of its Cable Stable accessory organizer.

The new Cable Stable Mini is a smaller version of Skooba’s original DLX model. It is a folio-style case with a dozen interior storage spaces, including neoprene pockets, hold-down straps and elastic loops designed to carry a basic assortment of power cords, adapters and other small accessories.

When loaded, it zips shut into a compact 9-inch by 5.5-inch by 1.5-inch book form factor. It weighs 5.6 ounces empty.

One side of the interior is a grid of elastic hold-down strips. The strips float freely under reinforced retention strips, so they can stretch and contract to accommodate cords, adapters and other accessories. On the other side are stretchy neoprene pockets for a phone, camera, or other small device. The center spine adds loops for batteries or USB thumb drives, while the outside of the case has a carrying handle, along with a full-length zipper pocket.

The Cable Stable Mini is available now at a suggested retail of $29.95, $10 less than the larger DLX version. Both are made of lightweight, waterrepellant nylon twill.
