NYC Artist Showcase

Posted on by
350

Last night caseable got the pleasure of attending artist showcase “Raise the Bar” in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The show featured native New Yorkers competing in a singer, rapper, song-writer talent competition.

It is so great, as a Brooklyn based company, to get to be a part of something in which New York pride is blaring throughout the entire venue. Even more so when a few of the contestants were fellow Brooklyn-ites!

Yet, it was the Queens, NY native, Ty Nickels, whose catchy hooks and hypnotic lyrics helped him to come out on top. However Guest performer, Eternia (see above), truly stole the show capturing each of the New York borough’s attention AND . . . she is from Toronto!

Clearly not an issue as her lyrics, energy, and performance could not be ignored as she dominated the entire stage. Her T-Shirt slogan, designed by GianGfx, reads “my favorite rapper wears a skirt.” <- would love to see it on a case!

Many left saying Eternia had become their favorite female rapper but we say, she just became our favorite rapper. Check out a previous performance from Eternia below. Love her style (1:08 is acapella, this woman is amazing!) . . . of course, tell us what you think. ; )

Gotta love New York!

It is neck and neck as we are quickly approaching the end of the New York Street Style Contest (cough, click the blue, cough cough) and it seems to have become a battle of the sexes as these two lead the pack of contestants.

However, as far ahead as they are from others, they are NOT far from each other. The contest is close and as we are nearing the end (end of Friday!) it is up to all of you to cast your final votes . . . who knows, it may even be one of the other contestants who is a last minute underdog.

Again, contestants are competing to win their own custom case and to vote, one must Like the photograph (must first like www.facebook.com/caseable) of their favorite style.

Hint: Click the picture if its one of the above two (or cough, click the blue, cough cough).

caseable wishes each of our contestants the best of luck and thanks them all for participating. The winner will be announced Monday (how exciting)! ; )

Lookout for Lace!

Posted on by

This Fall, keep a lookout for lace!

As if the trends of Spring and Summer weren’t clues enough . . . Ladies, Lace is IN.

Lace is perhaps one of the most feminine of fabrics, never failing to express a lady’s womanly side. It’s a way for a girl to be revealing while still being mostly covered.

She can expose a little shoulder, back, or even leg, all while still resonating a sense of style and class. It creates this sense of mystery and let’s be honest, guys? This drives men crazy!

And as Lace took over fashion this past Spring and Summer, it shows no signs of slowing down as we enter the Fall season (will it ever actually go out of style?).

So, as an avid supporter of the Lace trend, we present to you a case we customized (www.caseable.com) to show how your laptop case can also be sexy . . . yup we said it . . . make your case sexy!

Have fun customizing your own Lace designs (hint, click the picture above!) and show us what you come up with. =)

John Mayer iPad Case

Posted on by

So very exciting news here today and before I share with all of you, I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. Very rarely do I take over as myself but this I just couldn’t contain . . .

My name is Matil (muh-teal) and I have purchased an iPad 2!

Obviously, being a part of caseable, my first thought was what kind of case I would want to carry my iPad in. It was at that very moment, the soothing, ever so charming voice of John Mayer gave inspiration … mostly because I was listening to the John Mayer pandora station. But regardless, below is my personal creation:

I am a little bit in love here . . . with that case that is. haha ; )

But in all seriousness, I took my favorite John Mayer photo, and used it for the front cover. I then paired that with lyrics from my favorite John Mayer song, Edge of Desire, clever right?

Moving on, I always like a hint of color so after the black base, black and white images, white text, and grey interior . . . I needed a pink spine.

Now I just can’t decide which I am more excited for, the iPad or the case.

Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts before I make my final decision, and maybe some of you even have some of your own design suggestions? Let me know =)

Music Monday: Amy Winehouse

Posted on by

Maybe not the happiest of topics for Music Monday however, we feel it is only right to acknowledge the death of artist Amy Winehouse this past weekend.

The 27 year-old singer was found dead in her London apartment on Saturday, July 23, 2011. Winehouse first burst on to the music scene with her hit “Rehab.” Following the fame of her single, would soon also become her struggle with drug and alcohol addiction throughout her short career. However, the cause of her death is still unknown and may not be determined until weeks to come.

Rumors fly stating that the singer was in a drug-blur while purchasing various vices days leading up to her death yet her family denies such accusations. Either way, the death of such talent so young is still sad to see and we send our best to Amy’s family, friends, and fans.

This week’s Music Monday goes out to Amy Winehouse . . . Maybe a tribute case is in order?

TGIF, The Weekend is Here!

Brooklyn Flea Market

So it’s Friday people … Friday!

This means we survived the work week, the weekend has finally arrived, and we cannot be happier (not that we don’t love working of course).

So we ask, what is it that you have planned??

Living in Brooklyn there is never a shortage of things to do. Whether it’s the hip-hop festival in Park Slope (super cool) or you’re heading to Fort Greene to check out Saturday’s flea market (hello bargains!), the options are endless . . . like our products! . . . just saying ; )

You might even be venturing into Manhattan or perhaps a weekend getaway to Long Island or dare I say, the Jersey Shore? MAYbe you are even doing absolutely nothing else but counting down the days to Electric Zoo (49, by the way!). Either way, we are all thankful for the two days Saturday and Sunday that have finally come to our work-week rescue (unless you work weekends then…ouch).

So again, let us know where your weekend hotspot is and help give caseable some new ideas for our own weekend agenda.
