C o n s u m e r E l e c t ro n i c s D a i l y N e ws E ve n i n g E xt ra 2 9 Th u r s d a y, J a n u a r y 8 , 2 0 1 5 American country music has a rich history that reflects authentic living, and Range audio products are uniquely craft- ed to reflect on our great audio heritage. Celebrating America and the music born from it, Range is crafted with the country music enthusiast in mind. Bem Wireless initiated its soft launch for the Range Strum Bluetooth speaker in November at a Country Music Association Awards afterparty in Nashville, Tenn. Celebrity guests and friends in attendance at the event expressed excitement over the new audio lineup on display throughout the event. Since the CMA event, the Range "Strum" speakers are now in the hands of top celebrity country artists. Bem Wireless will continue to unveil the brand in the coming months with its retail presence beginning in April, just in time for its involvement with the ACM's (The Academy of Country Music Awards). As a follow up to the "Strum" speaker, Range will be introducing a new wireless stereo speaker called "Ballad," inspired by your favorite boots and truck. Range is also due to launch its "Liberty" headphone series during the back-to- school period. Ongoing consumer mar- keting will take place throughout the year to support the launch. Bem Wireless is also a proud member of the Country Music Association. Visit Bem Wireless in Conference Room Suite S210.

But only about 20 percent of smartphone owners used voice commands back then. Today it's up to almost half of users, and soon voice will control the home and many consumer devices on the Internet of Things. Putting command and control on the wrist has always made sense to us. It's also been important to give people the most stylish watch we can create, given the constraint that comes from the expansive amount of technology inside. CEDN: So this is about style as well as functionality? SK: Very definitely. Martians are full blown complex smartwatches, but while some smartwatches are miniaturized mobile phones for your wrist, we've come at it from 180 degrees opposite and taken a classic design approach and made it smart by bringing the most useable and intelligent features we can to the user. Outgoing com- mands are done via voice. Incoming alerts and notifications arrive via unique custom vibration patterns and quick tap-glass alert recall feature. The scrolling OLED display gives you all the data you need and allows us to create styling that consumers want. CEDN: What are the models that you're launching this year? SK: We have two major launches this year. First are four new series of Martian smartwatches that we're debuting here at CES. Second is a joint venture with GUESS that puts our voice command technology into one of GUESS's most popular watch designs. They call it the GUESS CONNECT smartwatch, and we're proud that it has been named a CES Innovation Award Honoree and can be seen at our booth at the Sands. Our four new series of Martian Martian Watches ( Cont'd. from p. 1) watches – two for men and two for women – range from our rugged Martian Commander line to the classic jeweled designs in our women's Martian Monarch line that will appeal to fashion-forward urban professionals. All enable you to use the full range of voice commands that your Android or iOS phone allows, from reading your voicemail to getting direc- tions, setting a reminder, navigating the web and hundreds of other commands. CEDN: That sounds like a lot of reasons for retailers to come to your booth to see the new designs, but you're offering more than a chance to look? SK: Yes. We thought, if we're exhibiting at CES, let's have some fun. So at our booth, we've built a six-foot Martian Watch dial with slot machine tumblers in the display. Visitors will get a chance to win one of over 1000 prizes, including more than 100 GUESS and Martian watches to be given away over the four days. It should be a lot of fun.

We began selling our screen protection kits for elec- tronic devices more than eight years ago. Since that time, we have created a brand that is very strong and rapidly growing. CEDN: What makes iShieldz different from its competitors? JM: We are the only screen protection company that has a proprietary material made of only the highest quality materi- als and we are proudly 100 percent Made in the U.S.A. Our competitors source material from overseas suppliers, so essentially they are all selling the same material as the other, just packaged and branded differently. CEDN: How is iShieldz different from tempered glass protectors? JM: The aftermarket glass technology is no different than what is already on your device. When you buy a so-called tem- pered glass protector all you are doing is placing one piece of scratchable glass on top of another piece of scratchable glass. You really didn't solve a problem. Glass is also more expensive and very bulky. iShieldz protection feels just like glass but is much thinner. iShieldz is also self- healing, so any scratches actually heal over time. On top of this, iShieldz comes with a lifetime replacement warranty. CEDN: Where can iShieldz be found? iShieldz ( Cont'd. from p. 1) JM: iShieldz can be found all over the world, including the U.S., Canada, Europe, the Middle East and South America. If there isn't a location near you that sells iShieldz, then we can be found at www.ishieldz.com. CEDN: Are there any new products com- ing from iShieldz? JM: iShieldz is always introducing new and innovative products. We just recently launched our Auto Align screen protec- tion kit, which actually aids you in installing our screen protection. You will get a perfectly aligned and bubble free install every time. We have also launched our medical grade, antimicrobial screen protection, which is being used in major hospitals around the country. The antimi- crobial screen protection was so popular that we have just announced the launch of our latest antimicrobial product. We now have full bodied cases entirely made using our Silver Seal ® antimicrobial sur- face protection. CEDN: What plans does the company have for the brand? JM: Like any innovative company, we want to continue to produce new and exciting products that perform to the high level that our customers have come to expect from the iShieldz brand. We plan to add more accessories to our line while also expanding into new markets and business sectors. Visit iShieldz at booth #36279.

The No Stud TV Hanger consists of interlocking aircraft-grade aluminum brack- ets, black anodized for smoothness and appearance. One bracket screws into the back of the TV; the other installs into the wall with tiny picture nails, requiring no studs, screws or anchors. Foam backing on the wall bracket protects the wall from scuffing. The nails leave only pinholes upon removal, so the mount can be removed or re-used with almost zero wall damage. A one-inch clearance provides easy access for cords and cables. It will fit almost any 26- inch to 48-inch flat-backed LED TV. Hangman Products has been a leader in the picture hanging industry for more than a decade, having sold more than 10,000,000 mirror and picture hangers constructed with its patented bracket sys- tems. Originally known for the level included with every extrusion and the motto "hang it level every time," Hangman now holds more than 20 patents and manufactures 75 products. Hangman Hangman ( Cont'd. from p. 1) Products retail in more than 15,000 brick and mortar outlets across North America, Australia, Japan and the U.K., as well as online at major e-tailers. Hangman entered the consumer electronics market just two years ago, quickly winning awards for innovation and design. As a U.S. manufacturer with a U.S. factory, Hangman controls its materials, produc- tion, packaging and shipping, and can cus- tomize orders for bulk, retail or OEM pro- grams. Other products in the consumer elec- tronics line include Furniture and TV Anti- Tip Kits, which have been highlighted by the Consumer Safety Product Commission and lauded by child safety sites. The Cord Management systems have been embraced by consumers as well as installers, who cite the system's rigidity as a unique and highly functional feature. The newest addition is the No Stud Speaker Hanger, which uses the same technology as the No Stud TV Hanger. Visit Hangman Products at booth #21648.
