Some people don’t get the need for gadget cases, but these new Dexter cases definitely make the case for gadget cases in general, and how they can add flair and style to existing devices.

They are going to be released by Speck in the summer of 2009, when the new Dexter game comes out for the iPhone as a marketing suppliment to the product, based on the popular cable TV series that has spawned a legion of fans through its brief run.

They are hard shells, and I have to admit that both the white and red model look cool enough for many to think about getting one. The packaging, in a cardboard box with a cloth full of blood stains, makes them even cooler.

No prices were quoted at press time for the cases.
