Corning and OtterBox Collaborate to Launch Amplify Screen Protectors
23 Aprile 2019 - 3:00PM
CORNING, N.Y.; APRIL 23, 2019- Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW)
announced that it has formalized an agreement with OtterBox to
market Amplify, a new line of screen protectors for smartphones,
tablets and other mobile devices. Built on Corning's glass science
and engineering expertise, this latest solution for the mobile
consumer electronics industry addresses many of the challenges
faced by consumers using existing screen protectors - including the
desire for better scratch resistance and durability to handle
everyday use, while preserving the beauty of their device.
"Corning saw an opportunity to improve performance
for those seeking added protection for their mobile devices," said
John Bayne, senior vice president and general manager, Corning®
Gorilla® Glass. "Many of the existing screen protection products
were under-serving the market. The collaboration with OtterBox
couples Corning's industry-leading expertise in glass technology
and proprietary manufacturing processes with OtterBox' s
world-class customer service and superior global market
access."
Corning joined forces with the No.1 selling
smartphone case brand in the U.S. with the firm belief that the
combination of their complementary strengths has established a new
standard in glass screen protection.
"Consumers are spending more and more money on their smartphones,"
said OtterBox Chief Executive Officer Jim Parke. "Their phone
screen is the window into their world and a gateway to their most
important memories. They want that protected. By working with
Corning, we will be able to meet those demands better than ever
before."
Amplify screen protectors are made from an
ion-exchanged aluminosilicate glass composition that has been
specially formulated for screen protectors. On average, Amplify
screen protectors provide up to five times better scratch
performance and 25 percent less visible scratches than the leading
glass alternative in lab tests. Amplify is designed for
long-lasting protection and is easy to install.
Amplify screen protectors are now available on
Otterbox.com and in corporate Verizon retail stores in the U.S.
