Speck has introduced our new limited-edition Fitted Artsprojekt cases (http://www.speckproducts.com/products/fitted-artsprojekt/iphone-3g-iphone-3gs/211) for the iPhone: Waves, Campsite, Chemical Girl and Bosque. They sport original and authentically crafted artwork, according to Irene Baran, CEO of Speck.
All are printed on soft but durable fabric, which is then fused to Speck’s Fitted two-piece snap-together hard shell design. The upholstery-style exterior increases in-hand ease while helping to secure iPhones when set down on surfaces, says Baran.
