History
2014: Foundation
Shenzhen Blueo Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. was founded in 2014 in Shenzhen, a major global centre for electronics manufacturing. The company’s initial focus was on mobile phone parts and accessories, specifically tempered glass and protective cases.1 Trademark records indicate that BLUEO products were in commercial use from the mid-2010s, with United States trademark history documenting the first use of the mark in connection with relevant goods during this period.2
2015 onwards: Screen protector specialisation
According to corporate history, BLUEO began deeper development of screen protector technologies in 2015. Development emphasised protective glass engineered for specific performance characteristics, including anti-blue-light protection, privacy filtering, anti-glare performance, touch sensitivity and optical clarity.1 The company cites its “eye protection Anti-blue light screen protector” as a product line that helped establish its reputation within the screen protection market.1
2021: AR anti-reflection technology
In August 2021, BLUEO introduced anti-reflection technology to its screen protector category, covering products for both camera lenses and iPad Pro displays. This development led to the launch of its AR anti-reflection screen protector line.1
2022: DORJEE
In August 2022, the brand introduced DORJEE, a character derived from its broader ape and gorilla identity but oriented towards a younger demographic. Described as an intellectual property (IP) aimed at Generation Z, DORJEE is associated with lifestyle-oriented products such as USB cables, wall chargers, power banks and phone cases.1
2020s: Expansion of the product ecosystem
BLUEO has expanded its portfolio beyond conventional tempered glass protectors. The contemporary product ecosystem includes premium screen protectors, sapphire and AR-related products, DLC-process glass, Aramid Fiber phone cases, fast chargers, USB cables and power banks. Its exhibitor profile at IFA describes the company as integrating R&D, manufacturing and global sales operations.3
Products
Screen protectors
Screen protection remains BLUEO’s primary product category. The portfolio covers smartphone models from brands including Apple, Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo and OnePlus, accommodating various display configurations such as curved and folding screens.1
Product types include:
- Tempered-glass screen protectors
- Anti-blue-light protectors
- Privacy and anti-peep protectors
- Anti-glare matte protectors
- High-transparency protectors
- AR anti-reflection protectors
- Premium-material protective glass
- Protectors for curved and folding displays
The brand emphasises surface characteristics including smoothness, fingerprint resistance, edge finishing, touch response and optical performance. Certain products utilise Shin-Etsu fingerprint-resistant coating, with surface performance tested for durability under repeated use.1
Camera lens protectors
BLUEO produces protective products for smartphone camera modules. As camera systems have increased in size and complexity, the company has incorporated optical technologies such as anti-reflection treatment into this category.1
iPad and tablet protection
The product range extends to iPad and tablet screen protectors, including variants developed for anti-reflection requirements. iPad Pro protection is specifically highlighted as a key development area.1
Smartphone cases
Smartphone cases constitute a major secondary category. While historically produced alongside screen protectors, recent offerings promote premium materials such as Aramid Fiber. IFA specifically identifies premium Aramid Fiber cases, including those with a floating-weave finish, among the brand’s offerings.3
Charging and connectivity accessories
The product ecosystem has expanded to include:
- Wall chargers
- Fast chargers
- USB cables
- Data cables
- Power banks
- Electrical adapters
- Other charging accessories
These categories are reflected in BLUEO’s trademark registrations, which cover USB and data cables, rechargeable batteries, electrical adapters and related electronic accessories.2
Other accessories
Depending on the market, the broader portfolio may include headphones, mobile phone straps, laptop accessories, computer screen protective films, car accessories and wearable device protection. Registered trademarks cover several of these electronic accessory categories.2
Technology and product positioning
BLUEO positions its screen protectors as engineered components rather than simple hardened glass. The company emphasises multiple dimensions of product performance.
Optical performance
Recognising that screen protectors affect brightness, reflections, colour perception and viewing comfort, BLUEO develops products focused on anti-reflection, anti-glare and high-transparency performance.1
Touch performance
Smooth touch, edge finishing and responsiveness are cited as critical quality indicators, particularly for smartphones featuring high-refresh-rate displays and edge-to-edge screens.1
Fingerprint resistance
The brand places significant emphasis on oleophobic and fingerprint-resistant coatings, citing the use of high-grade fingerprint oil and coating technology in its manufacturing process.1
Privacy
Privacy glass is a major segment, designed to restrict viewing angles so display content is less visible to bystanders. Privacy and anti-peep technology remain active areas of product development.1
Materials
Premium positioning incorporates materials and processes such as sapphire, AR treatments, DLC-process glass and Aramid Fiber. These products represent a strategic shift towards higher-end materials rather than competing solely on basic tempered glass specifications.3
Brand identity
MR. GORILLA
MR. GORILLA is a distinctive element of BLUEO’s branding. According to the company, the creative team based the virtual 3D gorilla character on the founder, associating it with qualities of strength, courage, determination, calmness, intelligence and resilience.1
Functioning as a visual representation of brand personality rather than a simple mascot, MR. GORILLA appears in retail displays, marketing materials and authorised brand stores. Trademark records confirm registrations incorporating a gorilla or orangutan-style character.1
DORJEE
Introduced in August 2022, DORJEE represents a younger iteration of the brand’s animal-themed identity. Retaining the “ape” concept associated with MR. GORILLA, DORJEE is designed to convey a younger, lifestyle-oriented personality targeting Generation Z.1
Planned applications for DORJEE include phone cases, toy figures, wall chargers, USB cables and power banks, reflecting an effort to transition from a technical accessories supplier to a recognisable consumer lifestyle brand.
Global presence
Although originating in Shenzhen, BLUEO operates internationally. Products are sold through physical stores and distribution channels in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Eastern and Western Europe, Australia and North America.1 IFA’s company profile notes established partnerships in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Europe as part of active overseas expansion.3
The international strategy combines wholesale distribution, local retailers, authorised brand zones, dedicated image stores, online sales and regional partnerships. The company stated that BLUEO-branded zones and image stores exceeded 1,500 locations in 2021–2022; this figure is a historical claim provided by the company rather than an independently audited current count.1
Retail strategy
BLUEO invests in presenting its retail presence as a branded experience. Retail formats include:
- BLUEO Brand Image Stores
- BLUEO Brand Zones
- Shopping mall stores
- Commercial street stores
- Branded display fixtures within third-party retailers
Authorised retailers receive store upgrade solutions, display materials and branded merchandising support.1 This approach is particularly relevant in markets where smartphone accessories are traditionally sold through independent mobile phone shops.
Manufacturing and R&D
Headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong, BLUEO leverages the region’s electronics manufacturing and supply chain infrastructure. The company maintains independent R&D and production capabilities, combining manufacturing with wholesale sales to control product development and distribution more closely than marketing-focused accessory brands.1 IFA describes the company as integrating R&D, manufacturing and global sales, reinforcing its identity as an integrated manufacturer.3
Corporate structure and trademark ownership
The BLUEO trademark is owned by Shenzhen Blueo Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. US trademark records show registrations covering smartphone cases, protective films, USB cables, headphones, rechargeable batteries and other electronic accessories. A subsequent registration granted in 2024 covers smartphone and computer protective films, data cables, electrical adapters and rechargeable batteries.2
Corporate trademark information states that BLUEO is a registered trademark of Shenzhen Blueo Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. and its affiliates in multiple jurisdictions.4
Brand philosophy
BLUEO’s stated long-term ambition is to become a reputable brand in the medium- and high-end protection products industry.1 Its philosophy encompasses four themes:
- Protection: Safeguarding smartphones, tablets and valuable electronics.
- Engineering: Improving glass, coatings, optical properties, touch response and materials.
- Design: Differentiating products through premium materials, packaging and visual identity.
- Branding: Building recognisable characters and retail environments around MR. GORILLA and DORJEE.
This combination distinguishes the brand from generic manufacturers that compete primarily on price.
Market position
BLUEO occupies the mid-to-premium segment of the mobile accessories market, particularly in screen protection. Competitive positioning relies on broader compatibility, specialised technologies, premium materials, superior surface coatings, optical technologies, branded retail presentation and a recognisable visual identity rather than low pricing.
The company increasingly presents itself as a complete 3C digital accessories brand. IFA’s profile describes this transition through its combination of premium screen protectors, Aramid Fiber cases, chargers, cables and power banks.3

Brand recognition and intellectual property
BLUEO’s branding combines a wordmark with an animal character. US trademark registrations describe logo versions incorporating a gorilla or orangutan-style character above the stylised BLUEO name, with one registration specifically claiming blue, white and yellow as colours.2
The combination of BLUEO, the blue animal character, MR. GORILLA and DORJEE creates a visual system extending beyond conventional technology branding.
