Imagine a World Free of Breast Cancer with OtterBox “Strength” Cases

July 1, 2010 - PRLog -- Fort Collins, COLO. – The Fourth of July is all about celebrating freedom – from freedom of speech to freedom of religion – but imagine a world free of breast cancer. In 2010, more than 240,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with the disease. This Independence Day, OtterBox™ is helping work toward the goal of a world free of breast cancer with cases that benefit the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade.

Offering sleek and stylish limited edition pink and white Commuter Series™ “Strength” cases for BlackBerry® smartphones, OtterBox will donate ten percent of the purchase price from each case to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade. Funding will support finding a cure for breast cancer and advancing access to care for all, regardless of ability to pay.

“Strength” cases are currently available for the BlackBerry® Pearl™ 3G and the BlackBerry® Curve™ 8500 series smartphones. Commuter Series “Strength” cases are composed of a shock-absorbing silicone skin that wraps around the device, followed by a hard polycarbonate shell that fits over the silicone to provide extra protection and allows the device to slide in and out of a purse or pocket easily.* All BlackBerry smartphone features remain fully functional through the case.
