(Rushden, UK) – 29 January, 2010 – Belkin today announced the launch of a range of new sleeves to complement and protect your new Apple iPad while you’re on the move. These new 10 inch sleeves, including the Grip, Vue and Pleated, Sleeves are designed with reinforced panels to fully protect your iPad’s touch screen from scratches, while still providing storage room for other devices such as your iPhone, media reader, charger or headphones.
The new range of sleeves from Belkin is not only designed to give your iPad great protection from bumps and scratches and provide easy access, but also to make carrying your iPad and accessories easier and safer.
The textured surface of the Grip Sleeve enables you to keep a firm hold on your iPad to prevent it slipping from your hand. In addition to the gripable exterior, the sleeve has reinforced panels for extra protection, and a soft quilted inner lining to protect the touch screen. The Vue Sleeve’s unique design features a transparent, expandable pocket that lets you easily store and access all your accessories. The Pleated Sleeve’s stylish design expands to accommodate all your accessories, but collapses flat when storage is not needed, giving the sleeve a slim profile which fits comfortably into a larger bag. These three sleeves include a transparent screen overlay for superior protection of iPad’s touch screen.
