In enterprise mobility, the condition of returned mobile devices can make or break your return on investment (ROI) .


Whether you're managing a national tablet rollout or refreshing rugged smartphones for field teams, damaged or unprotected devices can lose up to 60% of their trade-in value — wiping out thousands in potential savings.


At Strike , we help businesses protect their mobile fleet investment with enterprise-grade rugged cases and screen protectors that preserve condition, support resale, and reduce total cost of ownership ( TCO ).

🔄 Trade-In Value Depends on Device Condition

Modern enterprise trade-in programs reward companies for returning devices in Grade A or B condition. However, common issues like:

  • Cracked screens

  • Water damage

  • Heavy external wear

can result in:

  • Disqualification from resale

  • Reduced or eliminated trade-in credit

  • Increased replacement and repair costs

Strike’s rugged accessories are designed to preserve your asset value from day one.
