SAN MATEO, Calif., May 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Speck, leading maker of slim protective cases for smartphones, tablets and laptops, has announced CandyShell Fit, a protective cover for Apple Watch. CandyShell Fit is based on Speck’s award-winning, dual-layer case construction, carefully applied to the Apple Watch so that it compliments the device without obscuring its beautiful design and functionality.

CandyShell Fit has an easy-on, easy-off design that makes it the ideal Apple Watch accessory, especially for those devoted to an active lifestyle. With CandyShell Fit, fitness fanatics can arm their Apple Watch with extra protection during rugged activities such as CrossFit, rock climbing, and cycling. CandyShell Fit provides full bezel protection to guard the smartwatch’s glass screen, defend against shock, and allow complete access to the digital crown and side button.

“You only need to do a few things to protect Apple Watch, but you have to do them perfectly and minimally, and in a way that fully honors the design of the device,” said Bryan Hynecek, Speck VP of Design. “Speck is about giving people the courage to live their life fully and completely with Apple Watch on, exactly as it was intended to be used.”

CandyShell Fit combines a hard polycarbonate shell to guard against impact and a TPU interior to absorb shock. A raised bezel rises 1.5 mm above the Apple Watch touchscreen to act as a bumper between the face and surrounding environments. CandyShell Fit has been tested against sweat, extreme temperatures, and everyday topical chemicals like sunscreen and lotions.

CandyShell Fit will be available in a range of colors starting later this month for $29.95. To be notified of availability, sign up here:http://www.speckproducts.com/2015/apple-watch.
