Zagg Incorporated is a market leader of protective coverings for cell phones and hand-held devices under the brand name InvisibleSHIELD. The product consists of a thin, clear material that is virtually impenetrable to scratches, as it was first used to protect helicopter blades in the military. It’s most popular use is targeted towards the booming smart phone business and Zagg now offers more than 2,000 sku’s in order to meet demand for all different phone and electronic designs. Their distribution channels are rapidly increasing and include their online store (over 4 million unique visitors in 2008 vs. only 1 million in 2007) at zagg.com and other web retailers and affiliates including WalMart.com. The company is now entering into the big-box retail stores such as Best Buy and Carphone Warehouse, a large retailer in Europe.
