Speck’s CandyShell case (US$34.95) has made its way to the second
generation iPod touch. Available in two colors, Lemon Drop Liquorice
(high-gloss black shell with bright yellow interior) and Cranberry
White Truffle (high-gloss white shell with cranberry red interior),
the case can be purchased at Apple stores and at the Speck web site
(http://www.speckproducts.com).
According to Speck CEO Irene Baran, the CandyShell combines the
flexibility and shock-absorption of a soft rubberized case with the
durability and scratch protection of a sleek outer hard shell in a
single-piece design. CandyShell’s soft, rubberized interior helps
keep the iPod touch insulated from 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, she says.
The CandyShell offers openings and access to all ports, controls and
sensors, including soft-touch rubberized touch-through power and
volume control covers. The case can be docked through the bottom
opening. It also includes a cleaning cloth and removable screen
protector film for extra scratch protection.
