“We have some amazing new product hitting the market just in time for the holiday shopping season. On the heels of Apple’s new product announcement, we’re offering customers essential everyday protection with our drop-proof cases available for the latest phone models,” Catalyst CEO June Lai said. “Our new Waterproof 20L Backpack extends our range of products to now include the perfect travel essential.
