Belkin Helps Keep You Always Connected
with New Sleeves for the Apple iPad

COMPTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Belkin presents three new sleeves—Vue, Max, and Grip—to protect your new Apple iPad while you’re on the move. These 10-inch sleeves are designed with reinforced panels to fully protect your device’s touch screen from scratches, while still offering storage for other media devices such as an iPhone, media reader, or earbuds.

The iPad user is one who is moving from place to place, so we’ve designed our cases to protect the device from this movement and activity. People will be using their iPad often to get online, so they’ll need easy access to them and, similarly, they’ll need their case to be gripable but also protective. The textured surface of the Grip Sleeve gives you a stronger grip on your iPad to prevent drops.

Because iPad users aim to be always connected, they tend to carry additional gadgets—such as a smartphone—that need to be stored. The Vue Sleeve features a windowed pocket that lets you easily find your accessories as well as store them. The Max Sleeve’s unique pleated design expands to accommodate all your accessories. It also collapses flat when storage is not needed for a slim profile, able to fit into a larger bag.

From our consumer insight research, we’re learning that people want to be able to connect to the world—their friends, family, the Internet—at any given point in time, whether at the doctor’s office, waiting in line at the grocery store, or even in a café. The new iPad unlocks the opportunity for these always-connected people, allowing them to read books, play games, watch movies, send emails, listen to music, browse the Internet, and much more. Belkin’s new Vue, Max, and Grip Sleeves not only protect your iPad, but give you instant access to it as well as your other accessories.
