Founded in 2004, Solar Stik™ Inc. began operations with a single product, the “Solar Stik™”, which also gave the company its namesake.  At the time, the Solar Stik™ was a “First-Generation” System.  It was the only portable power generator of its kind in the world, and the humble beginning of an architecture that would set the standard for portable renewable power systems.

The Solar Stik™ System is an engineered solution, with specific design principles that maximizes its performance.  The System does not “cut corners” by sacrificing performance for the sake of price. I am personally impressed not only with the quality of workmanship but the unbelievably caring and involved staff.

We've Got Technology Covered!

Known as an innovator of protective solutions for the leading global handheld manufacturers, wireless carriers and distributors, we've got technology covered!

Starting with something as simple as a box, OtterBox was created in 1998 and built upon fundamentals of hard work, creativity and perseverance. Our cases are dedicated to all the klutzy, spontaneous, chaotic, graceless individuals who have broken a device or valuable due to their active lifestyle and like our customers, we've been there too!

The "innovative spirit" of founder and CEO Curt Richardson has promoted the development of our product lines from waterproof boxes into four lines of device-specific cases for today's hottest technologies.

Similar to an otter's fur, our original line of cases is waterproof. So to incorporate that element with the fun and playful disposition of the animal our CEO and his wife came up with the name OtterBox while brainstorming company names during a drive to Denver, Colo.

Like the animal that is our namesake, we're a fun, creative bunch that likes to work hard and play hard too. We have in-house sales, customer service, accounting, engineering, public relations, marketing, web design, graphics, supply chain, human resources and our own warehouse.

OtterBox is located in one of the greatest cities in America - Fort Collins, Colo. Ranked #1 in 2006 and #2 in 2008 on Money Magazine's "Best Places to Live" list, Fort Collins has easy access to the Rocky Mountains for biking, hiking, running, camping, kayaking, boating, skiing, snowboarding and other activities. Many of us use our cases every day, in the office, outdoors and around town and serve as excellent "guinea pigs" for new product testing.

Throughout the years, we've listened to customer feedback and attribute the evolution of our products to consumers who've challenged us to take the idea of a protective case to the next level.

At OtterBox, it's not one person changing the world of cases, it's a team!

The Kwikpoint Story

Alan Stillman, the founder and CEO of Kwikpoint, developed the Kwikpoint concept on a 15,000 mile around-the-world bicycle trip. While in Hungary,he cut out magazine pictures to communicate his dinner selections. From that simple concept grew a communication device that spans continents and dialects with ease. Alan and a team of six designers consulted linguists and members of the diplomatic community to create universally understood icons. The simple device replaces pounds-or kilos-of language dictionaries and phrase books.

Kwikpoint today ... 20 years after Alan's bike trip, Kwikpoint creates a wide variety of colorful visual communication tools that can be used by anyone, anywhere, in the world. Using a Kwikpoint product allows people who don't share a common language to communicate everything from basic needs to complex ideas quickly and easily, simply by pointing to pictures and symbols.

Sony HXR-NX3D1 NXCAM 3D Compact Camcorder


The Sony HXR-NX3D1 NXCAM 3D Compact Camcorder is literally two camcorders in one, facilitating the capture of high-definition stereoscopic 3D video at full 1920 x 1080 resolution. The camera borrows several elements from Sony's NXCAM line, such as the HD native Exmor R CMOS sensor (1/4", with ClearVid pixel array), the 12x Sony "G" lens (10x in 3D mode), and solid-state recording of AVCHD in many formats. (For the HXR-NX3D1, the imaging elements are, of course, doubled.) But as a single-body handheld 3D camcorder, the professional NX3D1 brings several innovations to the table for this emerging class of camcorders.
