iPhone 3G OtterBox Giveaway – Share Your Startup Story

Monday, October 6th, 2008

iPhone 3G CaseOur friends at OtterBox have once again granted us the favor of sending along some of their fantastic phone cases to check out and give away to our listeners/readers.  This time around, it’s the brand new, iPhone® 3G Defender™ Series case.  This durable case is designed to protect your touch screen as well as the rest of your iPhone® 3 from scratching, bumping and unexpected (we hope) drops.  According to the OtterBox website:

The OtterBox for iPhone® 3G Defender™ Series follows in the Defender Series tradition by offering stylish and sophisticated protection. First, a thin, clear membrane covers your Touch Screen to help prevent scratches and dings. Second is a hard, strong Polycarbonate skeleton that surrounds your device.

At Startup Story, we’re longtime fans of OtterBox products.  We first discovered their waterproof cases back when we began SCUBA diving, and I use one of their cases on my Blackberry.  Like all of the other OtterBox products we’ve had our hands on, these iPhone cases are durable, well made and look cool.  They even have silicone plugs that let you access the ports in your phone so you can sync or charge it in the case.  The ones we’ve got are black, but they even come in pink for breast cancer awareness.

We love the iPhone® 3G Defender™ Series case, and we’d like to share it with 3 of our lucky visitors.  If you’d like to keep your iPhone safe with an OtterBox case, leave a comment below sharing your startup story.  Don’t have a startup story yet?  Share what’s holding you back from going it on your own.  Three lucky winners will be chosen at random on  Monday, October 13th, and if we like your story, who knows, we might even interview you!

Contest for Free iPhone OtterBox and an Interview on Startup Story Radio

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

iPhone OtterBox CaseThis contest is for all of you out there who are pouting over the fact that you finally got around to buying an iPhone, and now all of your friends ran out and got uber cool iPhone 3Gs. Stop wasting time pining over another tech gadget upgrade, and enter this cool contest for a free OtterBox waterproof case for your iPhone (which is still WAY cooler than my crackberry).

Thanks to a kind donation direct from Otter Products, Startup Story Radio has 3 Armor Series OtterBox iPhone cases to give away. These puppies are waterproof to 3 feet, so while you can’t SCUBA dive with them, they’ll protect your iPhone from an unexpected dunk in a lake (or the toilet . . .). The person with the best submission, as determined by our readers, will also win a chance to be interviewed and featured on the Startup Story Radio podcast.

To enter, all you need to do is create an audio or video podcast, or write a blog entry telling your startup story, and include a link to this contest. Then, email us a link to your submission, so we can check it out. Startup Story Radio will pick our ten favorite entries, and then our readers will get to vote.

The submission with the most votes will get an OtterBox iPhone case, and will also be interviewed on Startup Story Radio. The second and third place winners will each receive an OtterBox iPhone case.

The submission deadline is midnight MST on July 31st, and the top ten finalists will be announced by 5pm MST on August 1st. Voting will be open from August 1st, and will close at midnight MST of August 8th. The winners will be announced on August 9th.
