Durable, creative tablet cover

Children are increasingly using educational or game apps available on tablet computers.  With most tablet computer covers targeting adults, Ndevr recognized an opportunity to produce covers aimed at active, playful children while helping to meet the needs of safety conscious parents. 

Ndevr was looking for a material that would help its conceptual product to become a commercial reality, meet certain food contact regulations and provide potential sustainability opportunities.

Vistamaxx PBE enabled Ndevr to tailor, balance and enhance the properties of the foaming material so that the covers are pliable, tough and shock absorbent.  The foaming material can be easily molded into irregular shapes allowing creative tablet computer covers.  Available in three designs, Gremlin, Sharky and Crab Form Factors, the covers feature integrated soft handles that make them easy to hold and hard to drop.

Vistamaxx PBE meets various food contact compliance regulations including US FDA, EU and China, as well as voluntary standards set by industry associations such as JHOSPA.  Vistamaxx PBE-based foams have passed ASTM F963, CPSIA, CE, EN71 and ROHS for toy safety standards.  In addition, any scrap produced during processing can be reused and recycled, contributing to less overall waste.

“Vistamaxx PBE has helped us to develop tough and fun tablet computer covers for children, while helping to meet the needs of safety conscious parents,” said John Yen, director, Ndevr Corp.
