At CES 2021, OtterBox showed us that it offers more than just ultra-tough cases for smartphones. The company just revealed a new line of accessories specifically for Xbox fans and mobile gamers.
OtterBox Merges Protective Accessories With Gaming
OtterBox is bringing its experience of making top-notch mobile accessories to the world of gaming. Its lineup of protective products ranges from Xbox controller shells to gaming carrying cases.
With cloud gaming rising in popularity, especially on mobile, it's only fitting that OtterBox makes accessories to go along with the trend. Let's dig a little deeper into each new product.
Mobile Gaming Clip
OtterBox's Mobile Gaming Clip is designed to seamlessly clip your controller to your smartphone for mobile gameplay. The adjustable clip can tilt to adjust the angle of your phone. You can also opt to use it as a tabletop stand.
According to OtterBox, the clip fits "virtually all smartphones." It's also compatible with Xbox Wireless Controllers and the Xbox Elite Wireless controller Series 2.
Easy Grip Controller Shell
The Easy Grip Controller Shell gives you a better grasp on your Xbox Wireless Controller. It allows for a more comfortable grip while gaming, and is also said to offer antimicrobial protection.
Easy Grip Gaming Case
OtterBox's Easy Grip Gaming Case aims to solve the issue of having your phone slip out of your hands while watching videos or playing games. The case, made from "cool-to-touch materials," offers a comfortable grip and also keeps your phone protected.
Upon launch, this grip will be available for all of the newest iPhones "with more designs coming soon."
Gaming Carry Case
The Gaming Carry Case provides a secure way to transport your Xbox controller while gaming on-the-go. It's made to protect your joysticks and triggers from damage.
This compact case will fit Xbox Wireless Controllers, as well as the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2.
Gaming Glass Privacy Guard
OtterBox's Gaming Glass Privacy Guard protects your phone's screen from breakage, cracks, and scratches. It also provides a privacy shield made specifically for using your phone in landscape orientation. This prevents any onlookers from glimpsing at your screen while gaming.
When released, the shield will be available for the latest iPhone models.
