Outdoor-Inspired Rugged Phone Cases

OtterBox Releases Sole Series Featuring Realtree

OtterBox has introduced the Sole Series featuring Realtree, a new line of protective phone cases that incorporates authentic Realtree Edge camouflage fabric into a textured, tread-inspired design. This collection is available in three colorways — Overgrowth, Skyline, and Ignite — each with a unique pattern due to the precision-cut fabric.

OtterBox's Sole Series featuring Realtree collection is engineered with built-in magnets for MagSafe compatibility, a detachable finger loop, raised edges for camera and screen protection, an integrated Camera Control button, and military-grade drop protection tested to the MIL-STD-810G 516.6 standard. The phone cases also maintain a minimum of 75% recycled content, ensuring sustainability for production.

Sole Series featuring Realtree collection's tactile and grippy profile, which is inspired by performance footwear and outerwear, is sure to add sensory appeal.
