Dear Friends,

We have started to get some of the iPad mini Retinas in at the stores. They seem to sell themselves as the speed and Retina display are amazing. The iPad Air is also hard to keep on the shelves. I think that the value in these new iPads is immediately apparent to the customers as they hold them in their hands and launch applications. Many of the sales we are making right now are to folks that already have an iPad and are ready to upgrade to this latest version.

We are priming ourselves for the Black Friday madness and the start of the holiday season. I’ll be here in Key West for that Friday and heading north the next day. I already have a bunch of meetings set for that first week in December! Taylor made it down here after some flight delays and lost luggage, but immediately pitched in and got to work here.

We should have our new Hammerhead Jacket iPhone 5s cases in stock this next week, and the Bumper cases for the iPhone 5c, too. We have developed what we think is a great case for the 5s, and I have been sporting our new Hammerflage design which has Hammerhead sharks on the back (sneak peek of the design coming soon).
