Agent 18 Apple iPhone 3G cases
Los Angeles, Calif. – (July 28, 2008) – Agent 18, designers of the world’s most innovative protection products for music devices, laptops and other electronic accessories, announced the debut of their iPhone 3G case line. From the company who pioneered many of the design elements that are prevalent in most of today’s protection cases, Agent 18 has designed an iPhone 3G case for every lifestyle. New iPhone 3G cases are available in three of Agent 18’s most popular case lines: Eco Shield, Clear Shield and FlowerVest.
EcoShield for iPhone 3G
EcoShield is made of a scratch resistant hard-plastic derived from recycled plastic bottles. Even the packaging the EcoShield comes in is made from recycled materials. Agent 18’s EcoShield iPhone 3G case is one of the thinnest on the market yet it offers rugged protection that is second to none. The case’s high gloss finish matches that of the iPhone 3G and the interior pads protect the iPhone from being scratched. The EcoShield for iPhone 3G is available in five colors: white, pink, blue, green and black.
Features:
• Thin and lightweight hardshell Eco plastic
• Silicon cushioned pads offer additional protection to the phone
• Comes in several colors (Black, White, Pink, Blue, and Green)
• Docks in any Universal Docking device.
• Easy access to all connectors, buttons, and camera
ClearShield for iPhone 3G
Practically invisible, this new generation of Agent18’s iPhone shield offers maximum protection without adding the bulkiness of other covers. This innovative case shields iPhone 3G against bumps and scratches with a durable polycarbonate shell. The interior pads protect the iPhone from being scratched and as with all Agent 18 cases, the ClearShield features openings for all ports and touch screens.
Features:
• Clear and durable plastic construction
• Rubberized cushioned interior for shock absorption
• Easy access to all connectors and touch screens
• Unobstructed opening to camera lens for clear picture taking
• Docks in any Universal Docking device.
FlowerVest for iPhone 3G
A lightweight protection option, the FlowerVest is made of soft silicone and molds to the iPhone for maximum protection. FlowerVest shields the iPhone 3G from scratches and falls with its bounce back design while still leaving access to all ports and touch screens. The FlowerVest for iPhone 3G is available in two colors: brown with blue flowers and pink with pink flowers.
Features:
• Flexible, lightweight, and durable silicone construction
• Easy access to all connectors and touch screens
• Unobstructed opening to camera lens for clear picture taking
