Berlin, Germany - (September 1, 2018) - Catalyst, the award-winning manufacturer of protective waterproof cases, today introduces the Catalyst Waterproof 20L Backpack at IFA 2018 in Berlin. The Waterproof 20L Backpack is designed with material tested to withstand 10,000mm of water and packs down to fit in the palm of your hand. It combines the versatility, usefulness and comfort of a normal backpack with the waterproof capabilities that Catalyst is globally recognized for.
Also launching at IFA 2018, is the Catalyst Impact Protection Case for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, as well as the new 9.7-inch iPad, and the Reflective Floating Lanyard for Catalyst Case. The introduction of the case for the Galaxy Note 9 follows the successful launch of Catalyst’s first protective phone cases for Samsung devices (Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus). This case provides ideal everyday protection with drop protection up to 9.9ft (3m) while the clear back shows of the style of the device.
“The Catalyst Waterproof Backpack extends our product offering while still offering premium waterproof products and the backpack is made with one of the highest-tested water-resistant material to provide peace of mind on your everyday adventures,” Catalyst CEO June Lai said. “Customers have been requesting an expansion of the Catalyst line of products beyond protection for Apple devices for quite some time. The release of the Catalyst Impact Protection Case for Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus immediately hit the lists as one of the best protective cases on the market, and we’re excited to continue to broaden our offering to include the Note 9 and Waterproof Backpack.”
New at IFA, the Catalyst Impact Protection Case for the new 9.7-inch iPad is the first non-waterproof iPad case in the Catalyst product line-up. The impact protection case offers drop protection up to 4ft (1.2m) and it is a slim, lightweight and ultra-protective case due to our innovative truss cushioning system. The case also has a new rubber dust seal that prevents dust and debris from getting inside the cover.
