iFrogz was a Utah-based brand specializing in digital audio accessories for Apple devices, particularly focusing on protective phone cases.[1] Operating as a subsidiary of Reminderband, Inc., iFrogz introduced its range of iPod cases in March 2006 and subsequently expanded its product portfolio to include accessories such as cases for iPhone and iPad, headphones, earbuds, speakers, headphone adapters, carrying cases, bags, and specialized items designed for children.
The company distributes its merchandise internationally and maintains offices across the United States, Singapore, Canada, and France, alongside a logistics and development hub located in Hong Kong. Its extensive retail partnerships include major outlets like Apple, Wal-Mart, AT&T, Radio Shack, Staples, and Best Buy. Additionally, iFrogz is known for producing EarPollution, a dedicated series of headphones and audio devices.
In 2011, the Salt Lake City-based firm Zagg, Inc. acquired iFrogz.[2][3]
History
Founded in March 2006,[4][5] iFrogz was created when Reminderband founders Scott Huskinson and Clay Broadbent adapted their production techniques to develop a new line of customizable iPod cases.
At that period, most iPod cases were limited to a few standard colors. The innovative three-piece design by iFrogz allowed users to personalize colors and design features extensively.[6]
Products
Several of iFrogz's latest offerings have received coverage on television and radio broadcasts, showcasing innovations such as the Swerve case, which ingeniously integrates two cases into a single unit, along with their dual AC/12-volt and dual USB chargers, and a variety of personalized iPod cases.
In 2010, the company expanded its EarPollution headphone lineup by introducing custom-made models named Fallout, NervePipes, and Hype. Additionally, iFrogz introduced what is claimed to be the first child-oriented iPod case called the Tadpole—a silicone case designed specifically for toddlers that transforms any video iPod into an educational and portable entertainment device for young children.
The Audiowrapz case tailored for the 3G iPod nano combines a protective cover with built-in speakers, offering both safeguarding and enhanced audio functionality for the device.
Products from the EarPollution series have been featured in media outlets such as ABC News and Mac Observer, highlighting their prominence in the market.
March 2010 marked the debut of iFrogz’s Comfort Series, which includes the CS40 headphones, designed to provide users with enhanced comfort and sound quality.
By August 2010, iFrogz had introduced a range of cases compatible with the iPhone 4, broadening their accessory portfolio.
Beyond cases for iPods and iPhones, iFrogz also produces protective skins for the iPad and has extended its product line to cover a wider selection of Apple devices. The company has further diversified by offering protective solutions for the Microsoft Zune.
