Hard Candy Cases, now shipping Bubble Hard Sleeve for the iPad!
Posted on March 19, 2010 by editor
With over 20,000 units already made and most in the US, Hard Candy Cases is the first to ship premium protective sleeves for the iPad. A signature look from Hard Candy Cases, the Bubble Hard Sleeve pops in three distinct colors – green, black and pink – and offers premium protection and delicious style for iPad users on the go.
A step above neoprene, the EVA molded rigid case features shock absorbing fitted rubber bumpers to keep the iPad securely in place, and a soft, padded interior lining to protect the fragile Multi-Touch display from harsh environments.
Superbly crafted with detailed stitching and a zipper sleeve, the Bubble Hard Sleeve allows users the freedom to use their iPad in or outside the case. The sleeves retail for $49.95, and can be ordered at

“We wanted to design a case that had more style than the typical neoprene sleeve,” said Tim Hickman, CEO of Hard Candy Cases. “We took it a step further by custom molding rubber feet inside the case that add 2-3x the drop protection. And, to make it all happen we are blessed to work with some of the best factories in China. It was quite a challenge to start a new case line only a few days before Chinese New Year, but our factories stepped up and devoted 600 skilled craftsmen to beat the tight deadlines. It was a real thrill to see them accomplish this first hand.”

I’d like to know more about the situation behind starting “a new case line only a few days before Chinese New Year”. CNY isn’t just a random holiday (as many westerners feel) – but using a US-centric comparison, combines Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Years in a 2 week period. For many Chinese, and factory workers, it’s the 1 time they get to take leave and see their loved ones. The fact, the main event is called a “Reunion Dinner”, referring to a banquet w/ family & friends back home.
Though the article doesn’t go into specifics, I hope Mr. Hickman has done the right thing and made sure the workers were justly compensated. Like I said – I’d love to hear more.
