Nokia Lumia 620's Protective Shell Unveiled by Nokia

Source: Daily Mobile - March 12th, 2013 

Earlier we reported that Nokia was coming out with a new protective shell for the Nokia Lumia 620 that would be dust proof and water resistant. Now we have official word from Nokia and price tag of 25 Euro's. Here's how Nokia explains it from their Official site:

Rather than make the typical clip-on case, or carry pouch to put your phone into, the Nokia Lumia 620 protective shell (CC-3061) replaces the existing back cover:

Tells Harri Vuolle, Lumia Product Manager at Nokia.

While maintaining the beautiful look of the device from the outside, this new shell has been constructed to look after the inside of the phone, too.

With IP54 certification, the protective shell has been certified to improve protection against dust and splashes of water. For anyone needing or just wanting extra shield for their phone, this replaceable shell is a one to have.

"The protective shell improves the dust and splash protection. The gaps between the camera window and the shell as well as the display and the shell are better sealed, and the mesh that covers the loudspeaker is denser, making it harder for water or dust to get in."

"While the protective shell does not make your Lumia 620 indestructible or 100% waterproof, it's ideal for people who enjoy active lifestyle where working up a sweat, getting caught up in a rain or dropping the phone can be a regular occurrence. It's also suits people who want to use their smartphone at work, even if it’s a dusty, damp environment."

As far as know right now the shell will only be available in the Gray/Yellow you see above. The 620's lower end price tag makes it a perfect match for the protective shell given that it will most likely be bought in countries that have a rougher environment than you would see here in the States or most of Europe. According to Nokia it should "be able to purchase the shell at the end of this month, depending on the market."
