All-New Design Combines a Hard Shell with a Soft Center for Sweet Looks. 

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – MACWORLD EXPO – January 6, 2009 –; Speck, a leading designer of cases for popular consumer electronics, today released a never before seen case design for iPhone 3G – the CandyShell.

“Pardon the pun, but these are some of the sweetest cases we’ve ever created,” said Irene Baran, CEO of Speck. “When our team was able to combine a glossy hard shell exterior and a soft rubberized interior into a single case design, we knew we had created a very unique and special case that offers lots of style and great protection.”

Never before has the flexibility and shock-absorption of a soft rubberized case been combined with the durability and scratch protection of a sleek hard shell in a seamless single-piece, easy-to-use design… until now. CandyShell’s soft, colorful rubberized interior helps keep the iPhone 3G insulated from life’s bumps and drops, while the shiny and sleek outer hard shell protects it from scratches and lets you slip it in and out of pockets easily. CandyShell has generous openings and access to all ports, controls and sensors, including soft-touch rubberized touch-thru power and volume control covers. The CandyShell can be docked with the iPhone 3G cable (included with device) through the bottom opening or it can be easily removed for charging with the Apple iPhone 3G dock. The case also includes a cleaning cloth and removable screen protector film for extra scratch protection.

CandyShell comes in four delicious color-contrasting flavors: Lemon Drop Liquorice (high-gloss black shell with bright yellow interior), Key Lime Jawbreaker (high-gloss dark grey shell with bright lime interior), Cranberry White Truffle (high-gloss white shell with cranberry red interior) and Watermelon Gumball (high-gloss light grey shell with pink salmon interior). CandyShell is available now at Apple Stores and online at www.apple.com and www.speckproducts.com for $34.95.
