There are three things we enjoy at Appletell: the iPad, Speck products and free stuff. With the help of the fine people at Speck, we’re going to combine all three to give you the chance to win your choice of iPad case from any in the Speck product line. Choose your model, choose your color/design, then just sit back and wait for your name to be called. Hurry, though…the contest ends at midnight, September 15th.

Last month, we took a look at iPhone 3G/S slim cases, as some people just don’t want to add much bulk to their iPhone. But the problem with slim cases is that, by design, they sacrifice protection and functionality. For those who who’d rather keep their iPhone safe than slim, here’s our latest roundup of hard shell cases built specifically for your peace of mind.

As we all know, the kind of cover you put on your laptop says a lot about you; everything, in fact. It gives people exactly the kinds of deep insights into your personality that are normally reserved for years of close friendship or Twitter feeds. “Who are you, Mac user? What mysteries does your MacbookPro hold? What kind of screenplay are you tapping away at as you drink your dark mocha latte, soy, no whipped cream?” People are thinking this, I know.

I’m fairly certain there was a time when a single laptop bag was enough. But these days, laptops have become light enough that people are willing to carry them places they haven’t before, and they’re common enough to be used in classrooms, kitchens and restaurants. So, you not only need a case or bag to carry the laptop around, but you also need a protective case to keep it free from scratches and scuffs when in use. A good place to turn to take care of both is Speck.

Speck, a popular case maker for almost any portable product imaginable, has introduced the first cases that are specific to the 3G iPhone. Titled the Toughskin and the Seethru (not available yet), Speck has really put out two good looking, yet functional cases for the new iPhone. The Toughskin will come in at $34.95, and there is no word on the Seethru’s price as of yet. Pictures and more info after the break.
