Since launching D-Tech, the electronic accessories line at Disney Parks, we’ve received numerous requests for additional mobile phone cases. I’m happy to share that select Android phone cases are coming to Disney Parks and the Disney Parks Online Store this summer. I checked in with Kevin-Michael Lezotte, Product Developer for D-Tech, to learn how these particular phone models were selected.
“When D-Tech was introduced in November 2010, we started with covers for iPhones,” explained Kevin-Michael. “The iPhone offers two different forms, whereas there are a plethora of Android phones that currently exist. We designed the Android covers based on the five most popular phones in the marketplace.”
The Android phones that were selected include the HTC Droid Incredible 2™, HTC Thunderbolt™, HTC Evo™ 4G, Samsung Infuse™ 4G, and Motorola Atrix™ 4G. There are three new graphic designs being introduced for these particular phones, with additional designs coming this fall.
In addition to these new covers, there are new covers being released for the iPhone 4/4S.
To celebrate Disney California Adventure park, we are releasing two new limited edition cases in June. One case features attraction posters, while the other, designed by California artist Noah, features the artwork he created for the new “Storytellers Collection.” Each case will have an edition size of 2,012. There will also be two open edition cases featuring artwork inspired by Cars Land.
In July, we will release three new limited edition cases, each with an edition size of 2,012. The limited edition cases have been popular since the first one was introduced for the 40th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort. Classic logos from Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort-inspired artwork for two of the cases. The third case was inspired by a Pirates of the Caribbean attraction poster. These cases will be sold via the online store first and then released at Disney Parks about a month later.
Finally, three new jewel-covered cases with Minnie Mouse, Jack Skellington and Sorcerer Mickey Mouse will debut this summer. The previously released Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse covers with jewels have been some of our most popular D-Tech designs.

I am so glad they have these now and they look great!

Love the case designs! Will the classic WDW resort logo and Pirates of the Caribbean attraction poster be offered only for iPhone or for Droids as well?

I would love to get the retro Walt Disney World one!

LOVE! The new California Adventure poster case! I definitely need to get me that one!

First off…THANK YOU! As an Android user I’m doing the happy dance at finally being able to buy these cases. (there are far more Android users than I-phone users, so it makes sense). Anyway…Do you have an exact release date for the Android products?

I saw a small selection of Disney World related iPhone cases on my last trip. I’d love some classic Epcot options on the iPhone cases (and shirts, and hats, and pretty much everything else). On something that’s as visible as a phone, I like the idea of the logo being a bit more subtle. The classic EPCOT logo, or the logos from the Future World attractions would make great options for subtle merchandise.

I am so very very excited to hear that we are getting Android cases. I have an Evo 4G so I will finally be able to show my Disneyland love on my most used accessory! Thanks D-Tech!!

The Storytellers one is awesome, wish it had been in WDW when I was there in April!
Jessica on June 14th, 2012 at 4:46 pm
Love that the you’ve expanded the cases to android now! However, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2. Guess I’ll shoot for my next new phone to be the EVO 4G just so I can get a Disney case!!

Would be nice to have a case for the HTC Amaze 4G, the best phone on the market, imo, but it sadly did not do very well after its launch.
