FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SPECK GOES BIG – DELIVERS SEETHRU AND SEETHRU SATIN HARD SHELL CASES FOR NEW SEVENTEEN INCH UNIBODY MACBOOK

PRO PALO ALTO, CA – May 18, 2009 – Speck announced today its extremely popular SeeThru and SeeThru Satin hard shell cases are now available for Apple’s newly announced 17” aluminum unibody MacBook Pro notebook. The two new form-fit styles, available in SeeThru in clear and soft-touch SeeThru Satin in black, are both on sale now at Apple Stores, Apple.com and SpeckProducts.com.

“We’ve had very strong demand for our SeeThru hard shells on previous 17” MacBook Pro models,” said Rusty Everett, Executive Vice President of Sales for Speck. “We listened closely to customers and dealers to determine the colors and styles that were most in demand and we’re excited to offer them to new unibody 17” MacBook Pro owners today.”

SeeThru is a road-tested, translucent two-piece clear hard shell case that will protect your MacBook from scrapes and scratches caused by life's bumbles and thumps. The SeeThru Satin offers the same hard shell protection as SeeThru but features a soft-touch outer finish that gives the new unibody 17" MacBook Pro a semi-translucent frosted appearance that easily slips in and out your bag or backpack while retaining a grippy edge for extra peace of mind. Precise device-specific engineering makes both case styles a custom fit that highlights the sleek look of your new unibody MacBook Pro. In addition, the hard shells both personalize and protect the MacBook while offering complete access to all ports, controls and functions, including the battery status check button, without the need to remove the case. Both SeeThru and SeeThru Satin hard shell cases are available for $49.95 MSRP each and available at Apple stores and online at http:// www.SpeckProducts.com and http://www.Apple.com.
