The Case-Mate Blog: Make A Statement

Atlanta, GA, May 14, 2009 – case-mate, a leading digital accessory company since 2006, today launches the FUEL: a protective case, carrying solution and phone charger all in one!

Taking care of your Blackberry or iPhone is a top priority at case-mate – but the FUEL takes the protective case to a whole new level. The FUEL actually charges your phone’s battery while keeping it safe and sound. You can now avoid being tethered to the wall when your battery’s down to one bar or worse yet, when it’s beeping that *no battery* beep we all know and hate. With the FUEL, you’re good to charge on the go. The FUEL has the following features:

Extended Battery: Built into the soft-grip holster case is a certified, rechargeable lithium polymer battery. Talk time, standby time, and internet usage are all extended by 2.5 times for the iPhone and 1.5 times for the Blackberry Bold. Extra phone time will ease your mind after a day of travel, or meetings, or running around chauffeuring your kids. With the FUEL you know you’ll still have enough juice to make it back home, even if you feel like you always have one more stop.

Intelligent Case Design: There is an on/off button that makes the FUEL more efficient by only drawing power when you need it. This is the first-ever holster case with a built-in battery pack for the Blackberry BOLD, and the first-ever holster designed battery case for the iPhone.
