Goal Zero and OtterBox Partner to Expand iPhone Protection and Power Capabilities

Goal Zero, specialists in portable power, have announced a partnership with OtterBox, brand smartphone case protection, to offer the Slide and Slide Plus Batteries as modules compatible with the new OtterBox uniVERSE Case System.

The Slides are customized external batteries that attach seamlessly and easily to the OtterBox uniVERSE Case, providing iPhones with unplugged power all day and night. The first of their kind, the Slides provide a unique modular system, combining the sleek integration of a powered phone case blended with the versatility of a detachable battery, allowing users to ditch the extra weight without compromising protection for their phone. Rechargeable via USB, the Slide and Slide Plus are available for iPhone 6/6s and iPhone 6 Plus/6s Plus, and effectively double the battery power of the iPhone.

Additional features of the Slide Batteries include:

  • Integrated kickstand: Optimized for complete hands-free media viewing.
  • One-touch light: Powerful built-in LED light is readily available and convenient to use.
  • Battery indicator: Displays the remaining battery life so consumers are alerted when recharging is needed.
  • Certified Lightning® connector: Offers seamless and quick recharging of the battery.
  • Built-in OtterBox uniVERSE Rail: Uses same rail as the OtterBox uniVERSE case; serves as an attachment point for other modules.

“With an active lifestyle, it can be cumbersome to deal with mobile devices that are easily damaged or quickly run out of power,” says Bill Harmon, General Manager of Goal Zero. “Together, the Slide Batteries and the OtterBox uniVERSE Case are simultaneously providing protection and power so consumers can fully use their phones as much as they want, whenever they want, without fear.”

The uniVERSE Case System outfits iPhone 6/6s and iPhone 6 Plus/6s Plus with a slim, protective OtterBox case that combines OtterBox protection expertise with the ability to expand iPhone’s features with swappable modules from a variety of leading accessory makers.

“The uniVERSE Case System brings the top mobile accessory innovators together to create a seamless iPhone ecosystem,” says OtterBox CEO Jim Parke. “We’re partnering with the best of the best to bring a completely new platform to the market.”
