Speck Stuff Does Both Reality and Big Screen!
First, Aqua SeeThru for iPhone caused a little rift around the office after being shown used by “Jon” of “Jon and Kate Plus 8.” Some of us (ahem) have been long-time fans, following the big fam-damily through thick and thin; tearing up a little when the kids visited the Play-Doh factory and gelling our hair to match Kate’s funky bob. Their impending divorce has affected that side of the office deeply. We mourn the end of this partnership, bemoan John’s alleged philandering and think Kate should ease up a little if she ever wants to find a step-daddy for those kiddies.
Click here to check out the clip- SeeThru’s amazing appearance is at 2:15!
ANYhoo, on the other side of the coin, others in the office might as well call the program “Jon and Kate Plus Hate” because they can’t stand the big crew. The six tabloids bearing them on the cover at the Minute Market creep them out and they think Kate’s haircut should go down with parachute pants and Hypercolor shirts in the annals of history’s worst fashion blunders.
Whatever your opinion is on the big brood, the fact is that Jon’s iPhone is looking fashionably protected in his Spexy Aqua SeeThru case!
In other Speck Drama Club news, Pink SeeThru for MacBook just scored a starring role in a major motion picture! As ”MacBook Case #1,” SeeThru Pink proved convincing in her performance as the laptop case of protagonist, Rebecca Bloomwood (played by the lovely Isla Fisher) in “Confessions of a Shopaholic.” Since this is a movie about somebody with a keen eye for fashion, it’s obvious that SeeThru is perfect for the role.
Another thing to note, is that Isla Fisher is married to and has a child with the great Sacha Baron Cohen, the zany character actor and creator of “Borat” and the upcoming “Brüno” films. It makes you wonder, what the heck their home life entails. Now THAT would make some great reality TV. Maybe Isla should have about 7 more kids…

Speck at the Prom… Part Deux
Our Prom Queen and CEO, Irene, is putting on the pressure for everyone to submit their prom photos. Take a look at our latest batch and a few case recommendations to go with them…
Franco, where did you two go after the prom?? Do you remember?? Was GPS even invented way back then?! Well, we know where you’re headed now baby… and please bring along this RoadDuo charger so you don’t run out of juice…
Owen, Owen Owen. First you do prom “regular” style with the girl in the dress and you in the tux…. love those glasses, BTW. Then you decide to go the gender-bender route your Senior year… her in a tux, you in the dress. We think she’ll look lovely with a pair of blue and white PixelSkins (so she can mix and match as she sees fit…) and you are going to do whatever you want, regardless of what we have to say… so no suggestions for you, other than a little more eyeliner & mascara would have done you a world of good.
Here we have Erik… the best-looking guy in school, couldn’t get a date to the prom!! What is wrong with you?! You STILL can’t get a date! Erik is the nicest guy- fit, adorable, hard-working. Ladies… give Erik a call on our customer service line, 650-462-2040. He doesn’t have the mullet anymore, we promise! Oh- and might we recommend a PortPack in Pinstripe for you, Erik?
Scott, did you know that this lovely lady was going to be your wife?! It’s really sweet, isn’t it?! You do make a great couple. We hesitate to poke any fun at you because…. you look really tough. So let’s just recommend a ToughSkin for iPod nano… it’ll look awesome with the lace garter on your arm.
Oooh Kristy, we know you’re adorable, but this photo is just further proof. OK it’s not prom, it’s Sadie Hawkins… and why are you guys standing behind that really evil, monstrous looking car? Is that how they do it in Fresno? We’d like to recommend a couple of matching AftPacks in Brown Plaid for you two in your matching brown stripes…
Ladies and Gentleman… all the way from Scotland… one of Speck’s Founding Fathers, Mr. David Law. Love the shoes. Really reminiscent of the strappy “gladiator sandals” and booties that are so popular with the Hollywood Starlets right now. Wow David, wow. And you thought Irene’s photo was hysterical?! Thank you for sharing, and may we recommend a Fitted Case in black and white plaid to go with your outfit?
Speck at the Prom… Part One.
Ah yes, it’s prom season… and we here at Speck are reliving some of our prom memories by sharing our own photos with each other and with you!
Anyone recognize this lovely lady?! Yes, it’s none other than our Prom Queen and CEO, Irene! Had cellphones and laptops been invented back then, we’re certain she would have accessorized her iPhone 3G with a CandyShell in Watermelon Gumball, and he with an Aqua colored SeeThru case for his MacBook or MacBook Pro…
Who’s the crazy chick in blue? That would be Amy… all decked out in an $18 dress. She didn’t care… and still doesn’t… that’s why we’ll pair her up with a ToughSkin, because it doesn’t matter what matches her dress, as long as it’s black. However, that pink satin dress on awesome chick #1 is just DYING to be paired with a pink SeeThru SATIN case. And the couple in Black?! May we suggest matching SeeThru SATIN cases in black?
What’s really big and round and blue?! The puff sleeves on Stephen’s date’s dress! What’s also round and blue?! A TechStyle Case for iPod shuffle!
Look here at these lovely people. Classic. Timeless. Absolutely nothing to poke fun at or mock. Typical Kristen. Let’s hook her up with something sensible, shall we? SeeThru Case in Black for iPhone 3G.
Jialin, why so sad, so scared? We know your date turned out to be a dud, and you were so worried about grades and cheerleading and getting in to a good college, you could barely concentrate on having fun. That demure little crushed velvet number you have on? Let’s give you more of a sophisticated look by accessorizing with a Fitted Case in Pinstripe, available for iPhone 3G, iPod touch, and iPod nano.
So… what are your favorite prom memories? Do you show off your prom photo proudly? Are you able to laugh at your youth and fashion inexperience, or are you ashamed and embarrassed of your younger self? Are you hiding your prom photo in a box at your mum’s house, never again to see the light of day (like SOME people at Speck…)?!
PixelSkin’s Acting Career Gains Ground!
When green PixelSkin first told us it wanted to get into acting, we gave it the Susan Boyle treatment, scoffing at it’s abilities before we’d even seen ‘em. But MAN are we eating our words here at the SpeckQuarters!
Piggybacking off last week’s truly epic cameo aside Izzie on Grey’s Anatomy, Green P-Skin followed up with an appearance on the WB’s “Smallville.”
EAT YOUR HEART OUT SUPER-DUDE!
Please Don’t Die Dr. Izzie (BTW, Nice Lime GreenPixelSkin iPhone case by Speck You Are Holding Doc)
Grey’s Anatomy fans can agree there is a lot of drama going around ‘ol Seattle Grace as of late, with Izzie dying of cancer, her and Christina’s budding friendship, Meredith’s upcoming nuptials, Bailey’s shaky marriage due to her overcommitment at work, Callie’s bravery as she cuts off her father…. the list goes on. And on. (And on.)
But perhaps the most shocking thing to happen on the show this week was a cameo by one Spexy Spearmint Green PixelSkin case! Check out this clip of Izzie whippin’ out her PixelSkin-wrapped iPhone to snap a quickie of Merideth, as she trys on ugly wedding dresses. Merideth, how grown up you look! Speck wishes you the best in your marriage to Derek Shepard, just one word of advice; even though you want to make Izzie happy by letting her plan your wedding, don’t let her go all “Bride/wedding planner-zilla” on you! Own it girl. It’s YOUR big day. Dr. Meredith Grey, you make us proud!

Fitted Case Fits Professional Snowboard Photag’s Lifestyle!
From constant communication with the worlds top female snowboarders regarding when and where to shred the world’s freshest pow-pow, to staying in touch with her family and friends in Oregon, Professional Snowboard Photographer Christy Chaloux’s iPhone is constantly “off the hook!” That’s why she protects her darling while dressing it in a fancy winter coat-like Houndstooth Fitted case by Speck Products.
“I like that the fabric of my case makes it less slippery,” said Christy. “I’m always dropping my phone and juggling like 10,000 things- camera equipment and stuff- so the fabric hard shell really works for me and mi vida loca.”
Every winter, from around November to April, Christy leaves her home in Portland to jet around the globe capturing the world-class athleticism of Leanne Pelosi, Janna Meyen, Natasza Zurek and more of the world’s elite. Summers she spends on her skateboard, cruising the concrete skate parks of Oregon or in her hometown of Seaside, surfing with her dad. Recently, on a short break from her busy winter schedule, Christy squeezed in a quick skate session and happy hour with friends. While running out to her truck, her phone slipped out of her pocket, landing face down on a rainy Portland sidewalk.
“It was fine; not even a scratch!” Said Christy. “Thanks to my uber-cool Speck case!”
Keep up with Christy’s crazy winter adventures on her Transworld Snowboarding Blog and check out www.christychaloux.com to peep out some of her awesome photos!
The International Language of iPhone Case-Love!
Check out this cool feature we stumbled across from Japan’s “Street Jack” Magazine, featuring some of Speck’s finest!
If you speak Japanese, you can see it reads “The first thing you should do with your iPhone is get a cool case.” Now they’re speaking OUR language! Because our infatuation with portable electronics, protection and personalization spans borders and languages…
ヘビロテSpeckケース - that’s Japanese for “Cool Speck Case!”
