Speculative Product Design, doing business as Speck Products is a San Mateo, California-based company that makes protective cases for portable electronic devices including iPad, iPhone, MacBook, Android devices, Windows Phone devices, tablets and eReaders.[1] It became a subsidiary of Samsonite on 29 May 2014.[2] who later sold Speck to Telementum Global, LLC in July 2021.[3]
Speck was founded in 2001 by Ryan Mongan, David Law and Tony Lillios as an offshoot of Speck Design.[citation needed]
In 2006, Irene Baran joined Speck as CEO. She is a member of the Women in CE Hall of Fame.[4]
In May 2014, Samsonite purchased Speck Products for $85 million from VMG Partners.[5]
In July 2021, Telementum Global, LLC acquired Speck from Samsonite.[3]
Speck Products makes cases such as the SmartFlex Card phone case[6] and the HandyShell tablet case.[7]
Other Speck cases include its CandyShell line, PixelSkin HD and FabShell for smartphones; FitFolio and SmartShell for tablets and eReaders; and SeeThru and SmartShell lines for MacBook.[8][9][10]
