Case-mate Hug Now Available
Mobile Users Can Now Purchase the First Charging Pad Developed in Concert With the Wireless Power Consortium
ATLANTA, March 8 -- Case-mate, a designer of innovative accessories for mobile devices and electronics, today announced the availability of the Hug, a new protective case and charging pad for the iPhone® that showcases the evolution of wireless power. Created to give iPhone users a more convenient way to charge, the design-forward Hug delivers power without cumbersome cords or adaptors.
"The mobile phone is undoubtedly one of the most essential electronic devices to consumers today," said Shashi Reddy, founder and CEO of Case-mate. "And with the availability of the Hug, we're giving iPhone users a new way to easily re-charge - helping them get just a little more convenience and reliability out of the device that they so strongly rely upon each day."
Hug Your Battery To Life
As the first charging pad to come out of a partnership with the Wireless Power Consortium, the Hug has been created to give Apple® iPhone 3G and Apple iPhone 3GS users a wire-free charging experience. Users simply slip their iPhone into the sleek Hug case and then place the phone onto the Hug charging pad.
Key product features include:
-- Efficient - The Hug delivers a "smart charge." It knows when the
iPhone has reached a complete charge and, at that time, stops pulling
power.
-- Convenient - The Hug charges just as fast as traditional chargers, but
without the hassle of cords and wires. Instead the charging pad
transfers power wirelessly through a magnetic field to the iPhone
enclosed in the Hug case.
-- Design-Forward - The Hug, featuring a sleek two-part case and a
charging mat, is constructed with durable injection-molded materials
with true aluminum metal and accents. Its form factor was inspired by
the flowing lines of the golden age of sport automotive design.
-- Added Protection - The Hug comes with a durable, shock absorbing case
and a charging pad. A screen protection kit is also included for
total iPhone protection.
-- Interoperable - The Hug is the first charging pad to be is designed in
accordance to the specifications of the Wireless Power Consortium.
