3 Ways ZAGG Is Fighting the Commodity Rap

Electronic accessories maker ZAGG is down about 50% from its 2011 peak. Among the many headwinds it's been facing is the perception that it's tough competing in a commodity market. Not only are margins hard to grow, but competition is tough both within ZAGG's space, and outside of it.

And whenever Apple includes covers for its products -- as it did with iPad 2 -- ZAGG inevitably loses sales.
