    Case-Mate & Vaja Introduce Fashion Case Collections for the New Samsung Galaxy S4

    ATLANTA, March 15, 2013 – Case-Mate, the international design company known for creating fashion-forward mobile accessories for smartphones and tablets, has released its most exciting portfolio of cases yet for the new Samsung Galaxy S IV. These new cases feature luxurious elevated materials, fresh innovative designs, and revolutionary protection and functionality.

    “We are very proud to introduce a collection that marries modern mobile accessories with luxurious styles,” said Nicole Love, Case-Mate Vice President of Product Development. “From the handsome interior of a vintage Rolls Royce to the classic quilted-leather handbags of Chanel – this collection is inspired by the classic materials and iconic styling that have defined luxury for centuries. The products we’ve designed for the new Samsung Galaxy S IV are without a doubt the most fashionable and protective cases we have ever released.”

    •             Crafted Woods, $80: Inspired by vintage automotive interiors, the Crafted Woods Collection is a marriage of sophisticated natural materials with a thoughtful attention to assembly and finishing detail. The texture and warmth of each wood is contrasted with a slowly polished brushed aluminum. This ageless combination creates a classic look that is a staple of sophisticated style.  Available in Rosewood and Blackened Ash.

    •             Genuine Mother of Pearl, $150: To ensure a dazzling luminosity, the Crafted Pearls Collection features genuine Mother of Pearl harvested from mollusks found in the Pacific South Seas and Hawaii. Individual pieces of the exotic pearl are thoughtfully selected and carefully laid into a unique artistic design pattern that enhances its pigmentation and luster. Available in silver.

    •             Gemstones – $150: Inspired by statement gemstone jewelry, the Turquoise Gem case is crafted from genuine turquoise highlighted with warm gold striations and finished with gold brushed aluminum creating a statement piece for your smartphone. Available in Turquoise.

    •             Tortoiseshell, $50: The Case-Mate Tortoiseshell Case is created by first tinting a molded translucent polycarbonate shell and then delicately hand-painting each tinted shell individually – staying true to tortoise shell’s original characteristics where no two designs are exactly same.  The outer edges of the case are meticulously chamfered to enhance the feel of the case when held in the hand. The Case-Mate Tortoise Shell Case is minimalist by design to maintain the sophisticated appearance and sleekness of your smartphone.

    •             Brushed Aluminum, $50: Sophistication is in the details. The Brushed Aluminum case excites with a blend of sleek & sporty with top-notch protection. Available in Brushed Gunmetal with Black.

    •             Carbon Fiber, $80: The Carbon Fiber Collection is crafted from the technologically advanced lightweight fibers used by Formula One racecars and luxury automobiles. By combining a weave of carbon fiber threads with a touch of brushed aluminum, the Case-Mate Carbon Fiber Collection creates a handsome aesthetic for high-performance automobile enthusiasts. Available in Nero (Black) and Argento (Silver)

    •             Glam, $50: Designed for elegantly styled women, the Case-Mate Glam Collection is inspired by dazzling fine jewelry that shimmers. The dynamic sparkle of the Glam Collection is created through a unique finishing process in which vibrant sparkles are captured onto a glossy, smooth surface, ensuring durability and a stunning depth of color. Available in Champagne, Rosegold, and Midnight.

    •             Madison, $100: The Madison Collection embodies the iconic trend of quilted fashion accessories. By combining quilted genuine leather with the added refinement of Swarovski Crystals, the Madison case is perfect for the fashionable, modern woman. Available in Black.

    •             Signature Flip, $50: Fashioned from genuine leather, the tailored design has 360-degree front and back protection. An ultra-soft microfiber lines the inside for extra protection and polish. It’s the perfect accompaniment to the boardroom and beyond. Available in Black.

    Case-Mate also announces new products for the new Samsung Galaxy S IV as part of the Vaja brand – premium, customizable, handcrafted leather products. Vaja will offer the following products for the new Samsung Galaxy S IV:

    •             Nuova Pelle, $80: Less is unquestionably more with the new Nuova Pelle Premium Leather. A sleek, minimalist design wraps your device in a seamless piece of luxurious, vegetable-tanned Bridge leather. Our innovative, reusable adhesive backing and proprietary magnetic closure system always insures a streamlined fit. As the slimmest premium leather case on the market today, the Nuova Pelle is a triumph of tradition and innovation.

    •             iVolution Grip, $90: Put the finishing touches on your device with the iVolution Grip Premium Leather Case crafted with our luxurious pebble-textured Floater leather. Offering the best of both protection and convenience, the Grip provides immediate, full-access to the front screen and function buttons, as well as comprehensive, four-corner protection with our redesigned hard-shell camera eyelet.

    •             Agenda, $110: The unique Folio design offers unrivaled protection with a fold-back cover that conveniently props your device in the perfect landscape viewing position. Our proprietary magnetic closure system offers quick and effortless access to the front screen, while still providing a secure seal when closed. Crafted out of Premium Caterina Leather for a subtle hand and natural look.

    •             Agenda LP, $120: Crafted out of the same Premium Caterina Leather as the Agenda, the Agenda LP allows you to add a matching leather stripe for the ultimate in personal expression.  The unique Folio design offers unrivaled protection with a fold-back cover that conveniently props your device in the perfect landscape viewing position.

    All Case-Mate and Vaja cases will be available by April 26 at www.case-mate.com.

    Design Smartphone Cases to Support Chicago’s Common Ground Foundation

    ATLANTA, February 26, 2013 – Case-Mate, the international design company known for creating fashion-forward mobile accessories, announced it has created an exclusive portfolio of art-inspired smartphone cases for AT&T to help benefit Chicago’s youth.

    AT&T and Case-Mate have partnered with Chicago’s own GRAMMY award winning hip-hop artist and actor COMMON to design the cases. For each case purchased, a $5 donation will be made to support COMMON’s non-profit organization – the Common Ground Foundation.

    “Growing up in Chicago, the art I was exposed to had an incredible impact on my life,” said COMMON. “It forced me to look at the world through the eyes of others, and inspired me to express myself in creative new ways. I am excited to work with AT&T and Case-Mate to reach more kids and help them discover how their talents can make the world a better place.”

    Beginning February 26, six different original Case-Mate designs, inspired by urban murals, mosaics, graffiti, and sculptures; will be on display for purchase in AT&T’s Chicago flagship store at 600 N. Michigan Avenue, 45 AT&T retail stores across the greater Chicagoland area, and online at ATT.com. Smartphone case designs will be available for the iPhone 4/4S, iPhone 5, and Samsung Galaxy S3.

    “The Common Ground Foundation has made a huge impact on Chicago,” said Shashi Reddy, Case-Mate CEO. “We are pleased to partner with AT&T and the Common Ground Foundation to channel the powerful ethos of Chicago’s art scene in a way that benefits its youth.”

    “AT&T is excited to collaborate with Case-Mate in support of the Common Ground Foundation’s efforts to benefit our local youth,” said AT&T Chicago Area Manager Christina Cheng. “These specialty phone cases are a unique way that our customers can help make a difference in our local community, and we are honored to play a part in that.”

    The Common Ground Foundation avidly works to support its mission to improve the lives and educational opportunities of adolescents, ages 13-15, in the areas of character development, creative expression, and healthy living. The foundation was recognized by CNN Heroes in 2011; and also by the BET Hip Hop Awards in 2010 as a philanthropic organization doing great work in urban communities.
