Highlights of the 2004 new products include:

MEDIA STORAGE:

Fast-File and Quick-Lock

Case Logic, perhaps best known for their media storage solutions, improved their most popular CD cases this year with the addition of Fast-File(TM) pockets and a Quick-Lock Moveable Page System(TM). The new CD cases feature Fast-File pockets on the inside covers allowing for quick storage and greater accessibility to favorite discs. Both the 64- and 92-CD capacity wallets feature eight Fast-File pockets on the inside covers, while the 128-, 208- and 264-CD capacity wallets provide 16 Fast-File pockets on the inside covers. The larger capacity wallets (128+) also feature the innovative Quick-Lock Moveable Page System, which provides the ultimate in CD order versatility.

By simply unsnapping the Quick-Lock System on the wallet's binder, users can effortlessly rearrange CD pages depending on if it's an evening for Ella Fitzgerald or an all-night Primus party. The refreshed line of classic Nylon, Koskin (a durable, leather-like material) and Sport-Colors CD wallets will be available in March 2004 at MSRPs ranging from $11.99 - $54.99.

External Headphone Jacks

Based on the overwhelming popularity of the external headphone jack on the SDM-4 Board Series Discman Case which debuted at CES 2003, Case Logic has incorporated the patented external jack into several more of its CD player carrying cases. By allowing the headphones to connect on the outside, the wear and tear is taken off the CD player and put on the case. This convenient feature is available on Case Logic's line of Nylon, Koskin and Sport-Colors CD Player & Belt cases (DMP-6, DMP-24, DMB-5, KSDM-1, KSDM-6, DMY-1, SDM-4 and SBP-2) with MSRPs ranging from $19.99 - $24.99.

Sports CD Player & Cell Phone Belt

Whether taking a trip to the gym, bicycling around the block or training for a marathon, the fitness-conscious can use Case Logic's new SBP-2 Board Series CD Player & Cell Phone Sports Belt to keep equipment protected and music from skipping during workouts. The stylish and compact SBP-2 features a convenient pocket to secure a cell phone, a snug CD player pouch and mesh zipper compartments for keys, money, earphones, etc. The SBP-2 MSRP is $24.99 and is available along with all other Case Logic audio cases at major retailers nationwide.

DVD:

Portable DVD Solutions

For the more than 30 million Americans who watch DVDs, Case Logic designed a line of portable storage solutions that let consumers literally take the show on the road. The PDVK-3 Koskin DVD Player Case is thoughtfully designed to allow portable DVD players to be secured either between two front seats or on the back of a headrest to allow easy viewing of DVDs while traveling. Made of Koskin, this sturdy case also features protective slots to carry up to four DVDs without bulky jewel cases. The PDVK-3 MSRP is $29.99 at major retailers nationwide.

COMPUTER:

Ultra Light Cases

Finally, cases for personal computing with the person in mind! To suit the needs of professionals who travel with laptop computers, Case Logic expanded its selection of notebook cases to accommodate both style and functionality. The new Ultra Light Series provides the same unparalleled protection of all Case Logic computer cases but without the added weight. These lightweight and fashion-forward cases are the perfect answer for those looking for something more unique than the traditional black bag. The MSRPs for the Ultra Light Series range from $49.99 to $64.99. Also ideal for a lighter workload is the NCLE-6, a sleek neoprene computer briefcase that tightly forms around a laptop to protect it while allowing room for additional materials to be included in the bag. The NCLE-6 MSRP is $29.99.

For travelers and commuters seeking a hard-sided laptop computer tote, Case Logic introduces the NPE-1 EVA Computer Shuttle. Constructed from durable, lightweight EVA (a molded, semi-hard material), this new case features a slim profile and sleek handles and the MSRP is $24.99. All Case Logic computer cases are available at major computer retailers nationwide.

HOME:

Multi-Media Storage and Organization

Trying to store movies, games and music CDs in a home can be an organizational nightmare. Even though consumers continue to purchase more DVD players and DVDs, they still want storage for their VHS tapes. To accommodate CDs, DVDs and VHS tapes in the home, Case Logic has developed the DWT Home Storage Towers. The towers, available in 36-, 72-, and 108-media capacities, adjust to hold a combination of media on the same tower with movable walls. For instance, the DWT-108 Multimedia Tower accommodates 108 DVDs or a combination of 54 DVDs and 81 CDs. The sleek, contemporary design looks great in any office or home environment. The towers are available at major retailers nationwide and the MSRPs range from $9.99 - $34.99.

AUTOMOTIVE:

Road Trip Theater System

As the popularity of in-car movie systems rapidly grows, consumers are incorporating more multi-media technology into their automobiles. For the ultimate road trip, Case Logic recently released the ATVH-9, a portable suspension system that holds a nine-inch TV/VCR combo and can be mounted between the two front seats of a SUV or full-sized vehicle. Best of all, the system doubles as a carrying case mounting and detaching with ease enabling owners to take the television out of their vehicle when it is unoccupied, avoiding theft and vandalism. The ATVH-9 is sold exclusively at Target for a MSRP of $16.99.
