Head back to school in high tech style with AT&T

With the important role technology plays in all of our lives these days, back to school shopping means more than just new binders and book bags. From college students to high school kids and even younger, we know that kids also need to head back with all the hottest high tech gear. So, here are a couple of suggestions from AT&T:

Ottberbox Armor Series – Kids are hard on their smartphones. So, if you’ve made the investment in the perfect phone for your student to head back to school with, it’s probably worth spending a little more money to make sure that device is protected. That’s where the waterproof, crushproof, dustproof and drop proof Armor Series case comes in.

Watertight latches are just one of the features that allow the Armor Series case to be completely submerged for up to 30 minutes in up to 6.6 feet of water. This certainly comes in handy for little accidents like dropping it into a puddle while texting at the bus stop! And, vents made of special materials allow sound to move through while keeping harmful elements out like dust and dirt out.

The exterior of the case features advanced materials that protect the device from 10 foot drops to concrete. And the high-strength reinforced plastic of the Armor Series case can withstand up to two tons of crushing force.

The case is available for iPhone and Samsung devices. It comes with a price tag of $99, but investing in protection is money well spent.

Moto X by Motorola - Sending your child back to school with the latest and coolest new smartphone will probably make you a very popular parent, especially if it’s one they can design themselves, like the Moto X.

These days kids are used to having a little creative liberty – everything from designing their own sneakers to customizing their locker décor - and now they can design their own phone too using Motorola’s online studio. Motorola assembles it right here in the U.S. and ships it within days.

Plus, quick access to the camera, just a couple twists of the wrist, means your student will easily capture plenty of new memories this school year.

For more information on these two products or for other ideas, head to your nearest AT&T store or online at www.att.com.
