Belkin and Square announce partnership with launch of SheerForce Case – exclusively designed for Square Handheld

New collaboration brings premium protection to Square’s newest device

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Belkin, a leading consumer electronics brand for over 40 years, today announced an accessories collaboration with Square, a leading provider of innovative commerce technology that helps businesses sell, manage, and grow with easy-to-use tools. As part of this partnership, Belkin introduced a custom line of cases for Square’s newly announced Square Handheld, bringing additional levels of protection and customization to the device.

"Square takes immense pride in building hardware for sellers that combines design excellence with robust functionality," said Thomas Templeton, Block's Head of Hardware. "With these cases, we're tapping into the expertise of a partner with decades of experience in building accessories that marry form and function, giving sellers added protection without compromising on Square Handheld's design or capabilities."

The SheerForce Case is designed by Belkin to provide robust, everyday protection for Square Handheld, combining a rigid plastic body with a protective inner microfiber liner, and a textured silicone exterior for a secure grip. Despite its durable construction, the case maintains a slim profile, allowing the device to slide easily in and out of pockets.

With a raised edge to safeguard the display, camera, and barcode scanner, the SheerForce Case ensures added protection where it’s needed most. Built for versatility, it’s ideal for a wide range of commerce environments – offering peace of mind without compromising convenience.

"The Belkin case for our Square Handheld checks so many boxes for utility and safety, and really provides me with the peace of mind that I'm protecting my investment," said Rick Janusz, owner of Frankfort, Illinois-based Redtail Market. "I'm no longer worried about accidental drops, and the added grip makes the device even easier to handle while still allowing me to slide it smoothly in and out of my pocket."

"We’re proud to partner with Square to bring Belkin’s legacy of quality, design, and reliability to their new Square Handheld hardware,” said Steven Malony, CEO of Belkin. “This collaboration marks the start of an exciting journey. By combining our strengths, we’re not only enhancing device protection but also supporting businesses around the globe with solutions from Belkin — designed in California and built to thrive in fast-paced environments.”

This launch marks the beginning of a broader partnership between Belkin and Square that combines Belkin’s expertise in premium device protection with Square’s deep understanding of sellers’ needs. Together, the two companies are collaborating to explore thoughtfully designed accessories that enhance device durability, usability, and performance in real-world commerce environments, helping sellers protect their technology investments and spend more time focused on what matters most to them.
