A First Look at Belkin’s iPhone 5 Accessories in Malaysia

100% compatible accessories available ahead of the phone launch

Belkin is set to introduce a collection of brand new accessories that are fully compatible with the thinnest, lightest iPhone ever, iPhone 5 ahead of its much anticipated launch in Malaysia this December 2012. The new range spotlights the first of several new Lightning accessories from Belkin in addition to innovative and trend-inspired cases, armbands and screen protectors.

“As Apple’s preferred partner, we have designed and developed an exciting range of accessories to match the incredible enhancements to the latest iPhone 5 on its form, features and functionality,” said Phillip Trapaga, Belkin Country Manager for ASEAN.

“Delivering on our brand promise in offering People Inspired Products, we have been listening to our customers and partners who are eager for compatible and reliable accessories to protect their iPhone 5 devices, while enhancing the variety of ways they use their phones to keep them on the go without sacrificing personal style.”

First Lightning compatible accessories
The Lightning accessories feature the introduction of Belkin Car Charger for Lightning, which is an updated version of Belkin’s best-selling, slim profile car charger. These accessories are designed and certified to work with Apple’s Lightning connector not only for the latest iPhone 5, but also iPad 4th generation, iPad mini or iPod touch. These latest additions extend Belkin’s power solutions for smartphones to keep iPhone users and their devices charged up and ready to go all the time.

Stylish protection
In addition to the Lightning accessories, Belkin has unveiled an extensive range of new cases and screen protector that not only fits the new form of iPhone 5, but also protects the device and accentuates its aesthetic value.

The Belkin Micra series is made from ultra-thin polycarbonate that provides soft-touch finish and protection from impacts and scratches. Taking style to greater heights, users can also opt for the Belkin Shield series featuring powerful protection in colourful, stylish form-fitting designs. Belkin also offers the slim-fitting Grip collection in wide-ranging designs and colours. Made from flexible, easy-to-grip materials, it provides durable protection from harsh wear and tear.

The functional Sport Armbands makes for a great companion at the gym, keeping the phone in a perfect condition as users enjoy a worry-free workout. Users who prefer the understated elegance can choose the Belkin Leather series, sporting durable, structured outer material and soft microfiber inner lining to keep the iPhone surface free of scratches and scruffs.  

“Ranging from fun and bright to sleek and sporty, our new designs for the iPhone 5 offer stylish solutions for everyone,” added Trapaga. “Striking the right balance between form and function, our new collections allow users to protect their iPhone 5 while retaining the customary practise in styling up their devices.”

Belkin also provides easy-to-install screen products that integrate Belkin’s Tru Clear™ technology for optimal visibility, touch sensitivity and maximum scratch resistance.  There is an option for everyone ranging from the simple clear to the ultimate damage control screen protector.
