Hard Candy Introduces Sleek White Accessory Collection for iPad 2

I’m planning to buy an iPad 2, and it’s going to be white. No disrespect to black, which in some instances I prefer to white, but for some reason, the iPad just looks “right” in white, at least to my sense of aesthetics. As for the practical consideration of a white handheld device showing grubby hand-transfer more, that’s balanced substantially by a white contact surface’s quality of not showing fingerprints, and scratches as vividly as black does.

Hard Candy Cases, a premium Apple accessory fashion brand seems to agree, and has just introduced its White Collection for the iPad 2. Featuring “la créme de la créme” of its current iPad/iPad 2 case lineup, Hard Candy’s White Collection celebrates the new White iPad 2 and provides Apple enthusiasts with all that is needed to fully protect, utilize and stylize their favorite new toy/tool. Set to begin shipping in May 2011, the lineup features the White Candy Convertible, the White Street Skin, the White Bubble Sleeve, and the Stylus White Pen.

The collection kicks off with the White Candy Convertible (MSRP: $44.95), a secure-fit, flip folio cover design that tucks into the back of the iPad 2, offering two optimal viewing angles. Made of animal-friendly faux-nubuck material, the White Candy Convertible combines practicality, sophistication, professionalism, style and protection into one case.

Next, the White Street Skin (MSRP: 39.95) offers users ruggedized protection with 3 mm of shock-absorbing TPU rubber at the corners and edges, and with a case material that won’t stretch or surrender, it’s easier to clean, too.

Designed to deliver both style and protection, the White Street Skin’s magnetic integrated screen enclosure conveniently attaches to the back of your case while not in use. Users have full access to all audio outputs, dock connectors, Multi-Touch display and controls when in use.

Featuring Hard Candy’s signature bubble design and EVA-foam fitted rubber bumpers to stabilize and protect the iPad 2, the White Bubble Sleeve (MSRP: $49.95) is a sturdy, zippered case that allows users to use their iPad 2 in or out of its sleeve. The Sleeve brings together a sleek, molded, soft exterior with a plush interior lining that keeps the iPad 2 safe from harsh environments.

Lastly, Hard Candy complements the White Collection with its Stylus White Pen (MSRP: $34.95), which works with the iPad/iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPod touch and even plain old writing paper! By sliding off the cap on one side, users will reveal a stylus that is fully compatible with all of these great Apple products. On the flip side, the White Stylus features a regular ink pen (with refillable reservoir) that allows users to sign those important business contracts in luxurious style.

“The new White Collection exemplifies our efforts in offering today’s Apple enthusiast the finest experience through advanced technology and thoughtful design,” says Tim Hickman, founder and CEO, Hard Candy Cases. “Now consumers have access to accessories worthy of their new iPad 2!”
