SEATTLE, Wash. – RAM Mounting Systems has rolled out IntelliSkin – a protective case for Samsung mobile devices to help prevent damage in rugged commercial application environments.

According to the company, the case features an integrated power connector compatible with any GDS charging dock. This prevents damage to the device charging port and creates a universal docking system compatible with any device wrapped with an IntelliSkin case.

“We are excited to work with Samsung to bring popular mobile devices to commercial applications including transportation, material handling and work truck use,” stated Aaron Hersey, vice-president of sales and marketing at RAM Mounting Systems. “IntelliSkin with GDS docking technology makes it possible to use smartphones and tablets with fewer concerns in rugged environments where devices are moved frequently among trucks, equipment and offices.”

Hersey added that with the GDS platform, all charging and docking is standardized.

“When upgrading to a new device with different charging ports, businesses only need to change the IntelliSkin case,” he said.

IntelliSkin cases are currently available for the Samsung Galaxy S5 and S6, Tab S 8.4 and 10.5, Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 and 10.1, Galaxy Tab A 8.0 and 9.7, and Galaxy Tab Active 8.0.  RAM Mounts plans to develop more cases to expand the line in the future.

“This is just the beginning. We believe the GDS platform will become a standard for solving the problem of device compatibility across a broad range of markets including fleet transportation, service industries, government and education,” said Hersey.
