Question: What nationally known mobile phone accessory company is headquartered in Fort Collins?

Answer: OtterBox, founded in 1998, grew out of Colorado native Curt Richardson’s garage into a global organization and leading phone case brand. Richardson’s initial design—a crush-proof, waterproof dry box—was inspired by his background in water sports and largely catered to Colorado’s community of outdoor enthusiasts.
