IRWINDALE, Calif., May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Superior Communications, one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of accessories for wireless devices in the Americas announces a partnership with London-based Tech21, who use the patented material d3o™, in their products. Through this partnership, Superior will be able to offer to its retail partners multiple solutions incorporating the patented impact resistant material.

In its raw form, d3o is soft and pliable, but instantly hardens on impact when dropped or struck. It's able to diffuse the energy from almost any type of impact to offer outstanding shock absorbing protection. d3o™ can be integrated into various popular carrying and protection solutions for consumer electronics and is processed into a foam while retaining the same shock absorbing properties.

Lee Batson, S.V.P. of Business Development and Product Marketing for Superior said, "Our customers have clearly indicated that there is a definite conflict between the consumers' desire for the best in protection AND their desire for style. We believe that this relationship will allow Superior to continue to provide both at the highest levels of quality."

Led by Jason Roberts, Tech21 first introduced the d3o™ line in a series of cases in 2009. With successful distribution primarily in the UK and Europe, expansion was planned into the Americas. Mr. Roberts explained, "We needed to be sure that our partner in North and South America was of the highest caliber. Superior is simply, superior, we are very excited to have them as a partner."

With regional offices and staff around the country, Superior currently works with all of the major wireless carriers and many of the national and independent retailers providing mobile accessories. Superior has earned much acclaim for its manufacturing, distribution and brand growth ability, innovation, diversity and its support of sustainable initiatives.

d3o™ was featured this year at Superior's CTIA booth in Las Vegas where Mr. Roberts was on hand to demonstrate and discuss, in detail, products that use d3o™ as well as the technology behind the shock absorbing material. Show attendees witnessed first hand as Mr. Roberts threw his cell phone protected by a Tech 21™ iBand™ against a solid wall with no damage. Superior will showcase this amazing demonstration in the coming months through a variety of events and online releases.
