ZAGG for Public Safety
What happens when a responder's device dies in the middle of an operation? This public safety solutions brief shows how ZAGG rugged cases, portable AC power, and field-ready keyboards keep government and emergency devices operational through drops, weather, and long shifts. Read the brief to see how reliable protection and power support continuous operation.
How do ZAGG and mophie help keep public safety devices powered in the field?
ZAGG and mophie solutions are designed to keep critical devices powered through long, demanding shifts and remote deployments.
Key power capabilities include:
- Always-charged devices: Portable charging solutions help ensure phones, tablets, and other communication tools stay powered when they’re needed most, reducing the risk of devices dying mid-shift.
- Support for multiple devices: Solutions like the Powerstation Pro AC can charge up to 4 devices at once, helping teams support shared devices and pooled equipment.
- High-output laptop charging: With a 100W AC output, Powerstation Pro AC can charge laptops and other higher-draw devices, not just phones and tablets.
- Fast charging in the field: Powerstation Pro AC delivers up to a 50% charge in about 30 minutes (device-dependent), helping teams quickly top up during short breaks.
- Extended runtime: A 27,000mAh internal battery provides substantial capacity for long days, remote operations, and emergency deployments.
- Built for mobility: Durable construction and a carrying strap make it easier to move between locations without worrying about damaging the power source.
Together, these capabilities help eliminate operational delays, reduce device downtime at remote locations, and support uninterrupted critical communications for public safety and government teams.
How do these solutions protect devices in harsh public safety environments?
ZAGG public safety solutions are built to help devices withstand the realities of field work, from accidental drops to rough weather.
Core protection features include:
- Rugged drop protection:
- Rugged Book keyboard case: tested for 6.6 ft drop protection.
- Rainier case: tested for up to 22 ft drop protection with a two-piece design and reinforced bumpers.
- Durango case: provides 6.6 ft drop protection with a built-in screen protector.
- Screen and body protection: Rugged cases, screen protectors, and keyboards help protect against drops, scratches, and everyday wear in harsh environments.
- Weather and impact resistance: Cases are designed for demanding field conditions so tablets and phones can be used during inspections, critical operations, and emergencies without constant worry about damage.
- Hands-free and stable use: Kickstands and 360° swivel stands (like on Durango) support hands-free operation, which is especially useful when personnel need both hands for the task at hand.
- Secure carry and retention: Lanyard attachment points and shoulder-strap compatibility help reduce accidental drops and make it easier to carry devices on the move.
- Screen protection included: Some solutions include screen protectors to help prevent scratches and wear, further extending device usability.
By combining rugged cases, screen protection, and practical carry options, these solutions help keep business-critical phones and tablets operational despite drops, weather, and daily field use.
How do these accessories improve productivity and device ROI for public safety teams?
ZAGG and mophie solutions are designed not only to protect devices, but also to reimagine how teams work in the field and how long their devices remain useful.
Productivity and workflow benefits:
- Enhanced documentation in the field: Rugged keyboards and accessories help make documentation and reporting faster and more accurate, reducing slow, awkward data entry on touchscreens.
- Tablet-to-laptop flexibility: Detachable, Bluetooth keyboards (such as the Rugged Book with a laptop-style hinge and stylus holder) convert an iPad into a more laptop-like experience for creating and submitting reports.
- Operational flexibility: Teams can safely use tablets during inspections, critical operations, and emergencies, then quickly switch to a laptop-style setup for documentation.
- Hands-free operation: Kickstands, 360° swivel stands, and handles support hands-free use, which is valuable when personnel need to reference information while performing tasks.
Device lifespan and ROI benefits:
- Extended device fleet lifespan: 360° protection and portable power help extend overall device battery lifespan and reduce the frequency of device failures in the field.
- Improved mobile device ROI: By reducing drops, screen damage, and wear, agencies can extend the life of phones and tablets and cut down on replacement costs.
- Device management support: Clear-back cases (like Rainier) make asset tags easy to read, helping with inventory and device tracking.
- Limited lifetime warranty: Some cases, such as Rainier, include a limited lifetime warranty, supporting long-term use.
- Customization and branding: Agencies can customize colors and logos across cases and accessories, helping with identification, team cohesion, and professional presentation.
Together, these solutions help agencies protect their investment in mobile technology while making day-to-day work—documentation, communication, and field operations—more efficient and reliable.
