PALO ALTO, CA – November 20, 2008 – Speck announced today a major expansion of its SeeThru hard shell case line for the latest MacBooks with the addition of the company’s first soft-touch form-fitting case aptly-named ‘SeeThru Satin.’ This is the latest entry into the company’s growing and popular portfolio of hard shell designs, which also includes the recently announced Fitted fashion-wrapped hard shells and updated SeeThru hard shells for the new MacBook and MacBook Pro.

“The design team worked hard to craft our soft-touch, hard-shell cases for the new MacBooks in time for the holiday season,” said Irene Baran, CEO of Speck. “SeeThru Satin gives your MacBook a rich, frosted appearance and a very personalized and comfortable feel, all while protecting it from scratches and scuffs.”

Designed exclusively for the recently announced new 13” MacBook and 15” MacBook Pro, the SeeThru Satin snugly protects your MacBook like a perfectly-sized, custom-fit glove. The smooth-to-the-touch rubberized exterior coating gives the MacBook a feeling of comfort and extra grip in your hands. With the durable, ultra-thin profile and easy-on/off two-piece hard shell design, users can shield their notebook from scratches and bumps while still enjoying access to all key features and functions including side battery indicator button, trackpad, keyboard and all connection ports, without the need to remove the case. Integrated rubberized feet help stabilize and create extra grip on slippery surfaces and the shells are fully vented to optimize heat dissipation from the notebook. SeeThru Satin is the perfect add-on to personalize and protect your MacBook, whether you’re carrying it alone or in a sleeve, briefcase, backpack or other bag. The SeeThru Satin is available in Black, Purple and Red, with additional colors available in January 2009.

The SeeThru Satin is priced at $49.95 MSRP and available at Apple stores and online at http:// www.speckproducts.com and http://www.apple.com.
