OtterBox Grows During Downturn

Posted by Carys Mills on March 10th, 2009

otterbox-iphone-caseIt would seem OtterBox has made a case for itself as the company continues to grow during the economic downturn. The Fort Collins company has been making protective casing for products including iPods, smartphones, PDAs, Tablet PCs and laptops since 1996.

While many companies downsize, OtterBox plans to release 40 to 60 new products and hire around 20 more staff members in the coming year. Keeping them more than afloat may be their partnerships and collaborations like those with RIM, Palm, HP, TELUS, Bell Canada and Rogers Communications.

Speck Hardshell Protective Cases

Posted by Rick Levine on February 24th, 2009


We also got the chance to retrofit a couple of hardshell protective cases for the MacBook lineup. The fact that these covers come in SEVEN gorgeous colours (uncluding CLEAR) is noteworthy, but the way the cases are engineered to fit on the the aluminum notebook body, will give you the feeling that your computer is completely protected from scratching and denting. The rubberized shell has a really great feel to it and is custom vented to allow for safe heat disbursement and access to all ports, battery compartments and DVD drives. Cases for earlier iBooks are available in an acrylic type finish and are good, but this current line of casing for the newest macbook aluminum notebook is truly a knockout. Once you have one on your New Macbook pro, you really will wonder how you got along with out it.

Speck Tough Skin iPod Cases

Posted by Rick Levine on February 24th, 2009


Speck is a case company out of California that provides great protection for computers, in particular Macintosh products. The company’s Vision is to design, “functionality and personality into everything’, into their products and that ‘delicate stuff protected can be just as stylish as they are protective!’ In the opinion of this reviewer, Speck is a company that fulfills their customers commitments.

At andPOP, we see our share of iPod cases and the Speck ‘Tough Skin’ line is above the crowd for many reasons. The Tough Skin cases are available for the entire iPod line up and will offer maximum protection for any iPod. We closely inspected the Tough skin for the iPod Nano and this case was a great choice! Complimenting a textured ‘rubber grip design’ that fits like a glove, the Tough Skin includes a hard clear shell to protect the shiny screen from scuffs and scratches. There is also a rotating belt clip that can be completely removed should you prefer to carry your iPod without the protruding belt clip connections. The custom fitted design of this case, provides complete access to all the openings and all connections including the dock. The Tough case is an excellent choice for the current iPods for protection, style and convenience.

Helium Digital’s Quality iPhone Cases

Posted by Rick Levine on December 17th, 2008


You bought your iPhone and you probably purchased a case for it at the same time. It’s still worth taking a look at this one. Out of Canada, making some pretty interesting products for the iPhone is Helium Digital. While there are many iPhone cases on the market, Helium’s Leather Back Flip is one of the best I’ve tried. The case is smart looking and features a leather flip top with magnetic closure, offering good protection and direct access to all iPhone functions. You’ll have to pick up a clear screen protector separately however, because Helium does not include one with this case, but for $24.99 CDN this case is still a bargain and you will enjoy using it on your new iPhone 3G. Maybe one day Helium will make a case for the iPod Touch, but for now you can slide a slim piece of foam you can trim off from the packaging materials to retrofit this handsome Leather case for use with your 2G iPod Touch.

Helium also stocks a 3 pack silicone case set for the iPhone (HD-020). Most notably, these silicone cases include screen protectors and the price for the set is only $19.99 CDN. Order Helium products online from the website or visit such retailers as The Source by Circuit city and Wal Mart.
