“Hot from Dragons Den the Tech 21 Laptop Case seemed to offer the perfect solution for people who want to keep their laptop in perfect condition regardless of knocks and bumps” August 2008

“When at rest, the d3o material stays soft and flexible, but if dropped the free flowing molecules in d3o form together to absorb the impact and thus safeguard your iPhone handset, and when back at rest the iBand returns to soft and flexible.” August 2009

 

“The material is a fancy version of oobleck, or as the physics geeks call it, a non-Newtonian fluid -- and you know if something disobeys Newton, it has to be cool.” August 2009

 

“THOSE millionaires on Dragon's Den know their stuff - if they didn't they wouldn't be rich and successful.  And they've just taken a punt on this interesting bit of kit, a rubber cover for the iPhone.” August 2009

“Remember that funky D30 rubber like material that goes from malleable to hard when extreme friction or force is applied to it?  The technology, which we last saw going into military helmets to protect UK soldiers, has made its way into a protective case for the iPod Touch (and iPhone) called the iBand.” September 2009

 

“Tech21 owner Jason Roberts, who has the (rather good) idea of injecting d30 into castings of mobile gadgets…We applaud him.” September 2009
