Speck Case Haiku Contest Winners

On Friday we started a haiku contest to win some CandyShell cases from Speck in honor of the release of their new gamer-centric 4th generation iPod touch CandyShell Grip. There were a ton of awesome entries, so much so, that picking our favorites was incredibly difficult. It was a ton of fun reading through them all, and we’re really going to have to do more stuff like this in the future as I think everyone here was amazed by the creativity of our community.

Winners and their associated haikus are all after the jump.
