Fusing fashion savvy with durable design, Sumo Cases, a division of HS International, LLC, launches their Spring '06 collection of iPod(R) cases, laptop carrying cases and accessories designed for the modern individual with both sensibility and style. Sumo products are soft, and lovable, yet offer tough and sturdy protection -- kind of like the protection a Sumo wrestler would afford.
Sumo's "take it anywhere" mindset supplies lifestyle driven designs that resonate personally with the creative sensibilities of the Apple consumer and accommodates their busy, on the go life, from the workplace to weekend play.
"The Sumo Spring '06 collection was created to cross the line between fashion, and the day to day use for work. Too often, work related bags, cases and accessories are drab, with little thought or design to the product," says Geoff Sacco, design director at Sumo. "Sumo is the alternative, our new line offers clever design in both leather and fabric, attention to detail, and unique style for both men and women on the up and up."
Sumo has taken a fresh approach with their iPod(R) case and laptop carrying case designs. Their thoughtfully designed and well-made products communicate a strong brand message that is fun, clever, and targeted at a savvy consumer -- setting the trend in global gadget protection design.
Select Sumo iPod(R) cases are sold at Apple retail stores in North America, and are available at Apple's website, www.apple.com.
