PRESS RELEASE - Verizon Wireless, the company with the nation’s most reliable wireless voice and data network, has teamed up with accessories and apparel company, Paul Frank Industries, to create a line of stylish PDA and mobile phone cases and pouches. The accessories feature Paul Frank’s classic characters and whimsical designs — Julius the monkey, Skurvy, the skull and crossbones, and the retro helicopter pattern. Perfect for fashion-forward customers, Paul Frank accessories will be all the rage for those who view their mobile phones as the ultimate fashion accessory. The PDA case, sized to fit almost any Verizon Wireless PDA, comes screen- printed in the Skurvy pattern and features a faux suede interior, belt clip and removable wrist strap for easy, fashionable carrying. The PDA case also fits Verizon Wireless’ recently introduced feature rich, multimedia phone — the Voyager by LG.
