EDGE Design Ships Aktiv™ and Alfa™ Line of Premium Accessories for Smartphones and Tablets

SAN FRANCISCO, March 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- San Francisco startup EDGE Design™ has shipped a second set of both the Aktiv™ and Alfa™ collections from its line of premium accessories for smartphones and tablet computers. The cases are inspired by Pininfarina, the Italian car design company, and its Modulo concept car from the 1970s.

The Aktiv™ Collection is all about adrenaline and performance, and is made from aerospace-grade aluminum. These cases are rugged though very lightweight with a strong polymer band that prevents the metal chassis from touching the device, and degrading the signal.

The Alfa™ Collection is crafted from high-strength aluminum with a unique chassis design that provides a measurable degree of shock-absorbing protection. Now available in eight fashionable colors, the Alfa cases are unlike any other on the market and will be the first EDGE Design™ iPad case later this month.

"We invest a lot of time and money in our smartphones, and our newest updates to the Aktiv™ and Alfa™ collections reflect EDGE Design's commitment to providing consumers with high-luxury, virtually indestructible cases," said Jesper A. Wind, Co-Founder and CEO of EDGE Design™. "Our Scandinavian design roots blended with our American-made cases meld form and function in fresh and original ways."

The company's Alfa™ and Aktiv™ cases for iPhone 4S & 4 are made of high-strength, aerospace-grade aluminum. EDGE Design's case boasts a unique patented chassis design with a polymer band that suspends the phone or tablet inside the case, preventing the metal from shortcutting the antennas and providing shock absorption if the device is dropped.

A unique serial number is engraved in each EDGE Design™ case to guarantee authenticity and streamline the process of product registration, which extends the owner's warranty from 12 to 24 months.

The new editions of Alfa and Aktiv cases sell for $99 (US) and are available at www.EDGE-design.com. Retail sales of cases for iPad are expected to begin shipping in May 2012.
