Launched in June, the OtterBox Hardline Series for iPad protects valuable technology in hazardous working environments. Prior to this product's launch, industries with workers in hazardous locations, such as manufacturing, oil and gas, automotive and others, were limited in the tools they used in a rapidly evolving digital world because of the dangers these technologies posed to their safety. Hardline Series allows these industries to introduce technologies into their daily operations with confidence in the safety of their workers because of the third-party certification earned through UL Solutions for the United States and Canada, plus IECEx and ATEX certifications internationally.

The Hardline Series case for iPad incorporates a patent-pending pressure management system to allow this fully enclosed solution to adjust to pressure fluctuations. The product suite includes a Hardline Series case for iPad Air (5th generation), device integration and third-party certification, a charging station and hand and breakaway shoulder straps. With protection from drops, electrostatic discharge, extreme temperature environments and offering chemical- and flame-resistance, this industrial-grade product line meets over 200 regulatory requirements to deliver enhanced safety on the jobsite.

"After leveraging 25 years of experience in protective case innovations, we are proud that our Hardline Series for iPad is setting a new standard for industrial safety, communication and efficiency for workers."
