“The Gumdrop Cases product lines were inspired and created specifically for an active youth lifestyle that’s heavily influenced by surfer, skater, and motocross fashions,” said Tim Hickman, CEO of Gumdrop Cases. “With the 4G iPhone becoming popular with younger, more casual consumers, we see a great opportunity to not only reach out to existing iPhone accessory retailers, but also into alternative retailers like local surf and skate shops and outdoor sports retailers. We’re super pumped to be the first company with the new iPhone 4G/iPhone HD cases actually for sale!”

The Skater Nation Air Shell Case features a super-light, snap-on polycarbonate body in colors that will match your shoes and board without looking like you tried too hard.
