Breakthrough technology joins the innovative Impactology™ product line and offers unparalleled protection for smartphones and tablets
Tech21 Impactology, the leading provider of ingenious impact protection cases and screen shields, today announced the Australian launch of Impact Shield, the world’s most advanced screen impact protection for devices. Impact Shield is immediately available for the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4 at Vodafone stores Australia wide.
Impact Shield’s multi layer structure with BulletShield™ interlayer features the world’s leading chemical company BASF’s protection polymer which is used in military grade bullet proof glass, airplane cockpits and a key ingredient for impact absorption. Impact Shield reduces the risk of damage to a device screen by spreading the impact, absorbing and slowing the force.
The Impact Shield offers consumers the best available impact protection without inhibiting a device’s performance. While many other screen protection solutions exist, none have all the benefits that Impact Shield offers in one package. Some feature optical clarity but no impact protection, some have impact protection but take professional assistance to apply, while others offer impact protection but with a thick film or matte finish.
“Tech21 wanted to apply its innovative Impactology technology to screen protection, and spent two years studying the wear and tear of devices and looking for the best available materials and ingredients specifically focusing on optical perfection to create Impact Shield,” said Jason Roberts, CEO of Tech21. “Impact Shield achieves a combination of benefits that no other screen protector has achieved – unparalleled impact protection against scratches, drops and shattering, with perfect optical clarity – making it ideal for anyone wanting to protect their device.”
Tech21’s Impact Shield is available at Vodafone stores Australia wide for the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy 4 with a RRP of $29.95.
Key benefits of Impact Shield include:
- Advanced impact protection: An ingenious multi-layer system which includes a hard top layer to disperse impacts; a middle layer with BulletShield™ featuring a BASF protection interlayer, also used in bulletproof glass; and a final soft layer which also absorbs impact. Overall, this reduces the force passed through to the glass screen by up to 80 percent, lessening the threat of screen breakage.
- Easy and fast application: Attaching the Impact Shield using OneTouch™ adhesive is simple and uses no glue, resulting in a bubble-free application within seconds with no cure time.
- Self-healing anti scratch: The anti-scratch technology is perfect to protect against accidents or damages in everyday life, with self-heal instantly closing up around day to day scratches, retaining optimum optical clarity
- Perfect optical clarity: With non-yellowing UV protection provided by the BASF protection polymer, you won’t know it’s there!
