Speck Expands their Product Line in Time for Back to School
Back in January at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Speck, the best-selling mobile phone case maker in the U.S., introduced something rather new for their brand–backpacks. These new backpacks, the MightyPack and MightyPack Plus, were on full display. The key selling points for these backpacks were to “protect, organize, and mobilize” your high-tech gear. Seven months later, Speck increases their backpack line by 300% with the introduction of two new categories: business and school. The first is an attractively-priced professional line which consists of the Speck business travel laptop backpack and laptop messenger bag (covered in another post.) The second covered below is the Speck back to school backpacks line which consists of four affordable and stylish bags.
