Speck on Prime Time’s “Real Time” show- 24!!!
Smart, quirky, stylishly demure… the prop person that covered resident sweet geek “Chloe’s” MacBook in a Clear SeeThru case by Speck deserves a Golden Globe- or at least a RADcademy Award for super-smart accessorizing! Exemplified in the way Chloe goes against the grain with her critical thought, naturally she is also the one person in the room to seek Speck’s special brand of stylish protection for her laptop. Check out this clip from Season 8, Ep. 2 “5PM - 6PM” of Fox’s hit show “24.”
Many thanks to Philip Thomas for spotting this gem, a worthy addition to the Speck Drama Club’s ever-expanding list of cameos! Check out Philip’s blog here.
SeeThru for iPhone 3G & 3GS Has Got A Fresh New Look!
What once was a mere fantasy is now reality with Speck’s innovative New SeeThru Cases! A seamless, streamlined one-piece hard plastic case that flexes onto your iPhone, safely housing it in a shiny, semi-transparent, hard shell that tastefully highlights your iPhone 3G or 3GS’ sleek design.
Our gifted designers have re-fabbed SeeThru for iPhone 3G, trading our previous two-piece snap-together model for this sleek, sexy, game-changing new case that adds a colorful (or clear) sheen and hardly any bulk or weight.
Made of hard polycarbonate plastic that slips easily in and out of pockets, the new SeeThru features soft, rubber tone-on-tone accents that recess the touchscreen and cover its exterior buttons, providing proven protection without hindering use. The new SeeThru Case for iPhone 3G & 3GS provides sleek yet tough protection, perfect for those dedicated to retaining the original slim silhouette of their iPhone 3G or 3GS while heroically protecting it from harm’s way.
Available at www.speckproducts.com in Clear (available now!), Black and Pink (coming soon!), and at AT&T stores exclusively in Red and Aqua (available November 2009!).
Dude, You’re Getting SeeThru For Your Dell
Fashion is fickle. One minute you’re the stinky kid stuck wearing stuff your mom scored at the bargain bin, the next you are the newest in cutting-edge style anti-hero. Today, the spotty peach fuzz on your upper lip was intolerably sickening to women and men alike, tomorrow it is suddenly transformed into the ultimate cool in fashion irony. It all becomes a whirlwind of confusion after a while, in the constant exchange of what’s “the new black” and what’s the new “please, take it back.”
ABOVE: Example of an ironic mustache gone right wrong.
Here at Speck, we say, do what you feel! Because ultimately, that’s what makes you cool. And if you feel cool, you look cool too! Wanna dress up like a funky mime? Do it! Feel like hopping to school on a pogo stick? Jump on! True style-makers are also risk-takers!
Granted, we are huge, long-time fans of Apple and it’s fruitful magic. But Jobs’ empire is not for everybody. Some people want something else, and we say more power to ‘em! You’re cool because you’re you! (Plus, contrary to the popular advertising campaign, we think John Hodgman is a complete gangsta!)
Now, Dell owners can show off their true feathers with SeeThru cases for the Inspiron 1545! Available either in clear original, or pink and purple “Satin” finishes, SeeThru snaps snugly onto your notebook for increased protection against bumps and scratches, and provides you another opportunity to show others the vibrant uniqueness that is you!
SeeThru Cases Help Diminish Rugby Stereotypes!
Here in the US, Rugby is definitely popular in some circles and cities, but across the pond and beyond, the rough sport holds as much or more prominence in popular culture as hamburgers and hot dogs do at a summertime barbecue!
Rugby, however, has suffered from negative stereotyping, as players fend off a long-standing reputation as violent, alcohol-fueled brutes. Much has been done, and is happening currently to battle these aging stereotypes.
And now, Speck has proof that the blokes have gotten a bad rap! The unapologetic and uncouth generally don’t have the forethought to wrap their MacBooks in our SeeThru cases!
Click on the pic or here to see the full gallery of this recent match between the Royal XV vs. British and Irish Lions in the Daily Telegraph.
So keep an open mind and heart, cause stereotyping is sooooooo 1994!
New SeeThru Cases Fit Both Old AND New Unibody (Black Key) MacBook and MacBook Pro!
Subtlety… maybe not the “spice” of life, but important nonetheless.
In one sense, we wouldn’t say we’re masters of the art here at Speck. More of the opposite, as dedicated fans of bright, happy colors, loud music and louder characters. However, we relish in the importance of a keen eye to detail and precision when it comes to designing the cases we love.
ABOVE: Example of a not-so-subtle Speck SeeThru case.
Many may not have noticed a small change in design when the latest Unibody MacBooks were released in June, but in the case-making biz, a small “molehill “such as an added SD card slot can make a “mountain” of difference to our customers. So, thanks to our expert designers, we re-jigged our design so now our SeeThru and SeeThru Satin cases fit snug as they always have, to BOTH versions of the new MacBook and MacBook Pro.
So while we rejoice in personal flair and the vibrance of life, never fear, SeeThru will fit all Unibody (black key) MacBook and MacBook Pros currently on the market. But as we strive for balance, all this detail work makes us want to turn up our music and lean toward the loud. Such as the MacBook case above, which has been kicking around the office as of late…
Got any pics of YOUR loud and proud, customized SeeThru case? Cause we want to see them! Send ‘em in to customerservice@speckproducts.com and we’ll add them to our gallery! Top three received by the end of the month win some free Speck swag!
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…

The International Language of iPhone Case-Love!

Speck Dexter Cases?!
As you might have heard thru the blogosphere, on sites such as Gizmodo.com, iPhonefreak.com, lintcoat.com, and destructiod.com, we recently crafted some “Dexter” iPhone cases for giveaways at GDC in anticipation and excitement for the release of Marc Ecko’s Dexter The Game for iPhone! These special cases in blood splattered boxes were a huge hit, both SeeThru and CandyShell cases had “Dexter The Game” logos specially printed on them and were handed out to attendees.
Ya want one, huh??! All of the ones we made were given away at the event and we’ve got none left! But we’ve already seen one CandyShell on eBay.com and are thinkin’ a few more might pop up…. Happy bidding!
So with all the buzz and fun of this event, we here at Speck are really digging the excitement and potential of limited runs of custom printed cases. What insignia, obsession, game, TV show, etc. would YOU like to see printed on the back of your iPhone case?!
