Passion for protection

DROP+ is a promise that every product OtterBox make is ready for whatever life throws at it. We test OtterBox cases for everything you can think of. And a lot of things you probably wouldn’t even imagine. Each OtterBox case series must pass every stringent test before it receives the DROP+ designation. The + in DROP+ represents the extra tests our engineers perform, in addition to MIL-STD, to deliver the defence your device needs.

What is Military Standard?

Military Standard (MIL-STD-810G 516.6) is a series of tests designed by the US Department of Defence to determine the overall durability of a product.  It requires a case and device be dropped 26 times from 4 feet. This proves the edges, corners, front and back of a case prevail through multiple impacts and that we’ve made the toughest phone case possible. 

We take our testing even further and subject our cases to MIL-STD testing multiple times. 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X – we fatigue test our cases again and again to ensure they survive drop after drop, not just the first few. 

Sustainability

Our sustainable company journey started inside our own four walls – the space where we have the most control. We audited our practices and discovered key areas for eliminating waste. With all this contribution we still strive to provide the best legendary OtterBox protection you can depend on to keep your team’s devices safe. 

We challenged ourselves to rethink our design and manufacturing, adding recycled plastics into the mix. We chose post-industrial recycled plastics (PIR) – scraps from the production floor. We’ve repurposed more than 1.4 million pounds as of the end of 2021 and of our cases are now made with at least 50% recycled materials. And we’re just getting started. And that´s not it – PRO Pack represents OtterBox’s pledge to reduce environmental impacts by curtailing packaging waste. By choosing these streamlined, time-saving packaging options, you are helping us move closer to a more sustainable future. Our logo on the PRO Pack sleeve ensures that you’re receiving certified OtterBox products​. 

Achieving sustainability is more a mindset than a metric. There are always new ways to improve when you’re focused on continued reductions. That’s our goal – looking for ways to build smarter, run leaner and be greener as a company. 

Antimicrobial Technology

We are passionate about delivering the defence you need and are constantly working to ensure we offer the best protection for your device. Our engineers have recognised the need to incorporate antimicrobial technology into our cases and screen protectors. This enables us to offer not only our trusted DROP+ protection, but also around-the-clock hygienic antimicrobial protection for the expected lifetime of a product.​ 

How does antimicrobial technology work?​ 

Antimicrobial technology works at a cellular level to continually disrupt the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. Once infused into a product, antimicrobial technology will start to work as soon as a microorganism comes into contact with the protected surface.​
