Last month, I wrote about the official Starbucks iPhone case. They are sold at the Starbucks Coffee Gear store (priced at about $20 each), and come in two colors: black and white. You can visit the Coffee Gear store in person too. It’s open Monday through Friday, normal business hours. Here’s the address:
Starbucks Coffee Gear store
2401 Utah Avenue South, 8th floor
Seattle, WA 98134
Here’s a few previous article about this special store:
- What’s new at the Coffee Gear store – January 2012
- Another visit to the Coffee Gear store – September 2011(The cycling jersey featured in this article appears to be a year-round item.)
- Shopping at the Coffee Gear store is now easier than ever before.
- Coffee Gear store update – July 2012
When I wrote the July 2012 article, I saw in the response, and by the tweets that I received, that a lot of people fell in love with the iPhone cases:
I recently went back to Starbucks Coffee Gear store and picked up a few of them to give away. By the way, I spent a little more than I usually would for a giveaway, so I probably will take a break before doing another one after this (unless someone else sponsors it! 😉 LOL)
If you want to enter in, follow these instructions. Entries that do not follow these instructions will not be counted:
- 1. One entry per person.
- 2. Enter before September 9, 2012, 5:00 p.m. PST, or when a maximum of 250 valid entries are received, whichever comes first.
- 3. Use a form of social media (must be Twitter or Facebook) and share this (or any other StarbucksMelody.com blog article).
- 4. If you share with Twitter, flag me with @sbuxmel in the Tweet, so I will see it.
- 5. If you share with Facebook, use the little “share” icon on the lower right corner of each Facebook status update.
- 6. After you’ve shared something on this blog, come back and write in the comments of THIS blog post “I shared!” or anything you want to write that tells me you’ve shared something from the blog.
- 7. You must be over 18 years old to enter.
- 8. Void where prohibited by law.
- 9. You must be patient with me! It might take me a while to organize all the entrants, pull them from a hat, and get everything mailed out!
- 10. In your comment in this blog post, let me know which color you like better – white or black.
- 11. Please enter using a valid email address so that I can easily reach you if you’re a winner.
- 12. I am requesting, though it’s not required, that you “like” my blog’s Facebook page too.
- Edit on 8/23/12 – It’s come up in the comment conversation: I will ship overseas. This contest is not limited to the United States.
I’ll put all the names on little cards, put them in a hat or sack, shake it fiercely, and draw out three winners. I will be giving away two black iPhone cases, and one white one. I’m sorry, but I cannot promise you that you will receive that color that you want.
Obviously, the idea here is simply to find a way to spread the word about this little blog that I’m pouring my heart into. I hope it works! September 9, 2012, will be the three-year anniversary of this site, so I thought that would be a great ending date for a contest. As always, thank you everyone for making this blog a success for three years!

You are a very generous person Melody.
I’ve shared!
I shared
I shared! (white) You spoil us so 🙂
@Kristen – I paid slightly less than the retail price – The guy at the coffee gear store gave me a little break! This isn’t too bad of a giveaway. Just might take some time to manage all the entries. Thank you for sharing!
I’ve shared! And I like th colour white.
Ahhh!!! I am so so so so so excited at the prospect of winning this!!! I shared! And will continue to all week!! Melody thank you so much for all you do!
you know i don’t have an iphone, but i’ll share it on twitter for you 🙂
I shared! https://twitter.com/curtislu/status/238126413142687746
I shared! If I won I’d prefer black ( because I’d get it dirty ).
I shared! Thanks for all the Starbucks love you pour into this site every day Melody! If you were a real partner (rather than an honourary one) your green apron would be covered in MUG Award pins!
I’ve shared! And I like black.
I shared. Hope you will send it to Japan if I won.
@CD – I think what comes around goes around. Today, I worked late, and when I got home, I was so touched that a partner in Canada had sent me a 25th Anniversary Vancouver card for my Starbucks card collection. And another partner had mailed me a poster of a Starbucks test item that I’d really wanted!!! Kind and generous! I felt blessed and lucky that there are partners that take their time to mail me gifts now and then – and as you have seen over the years, I’ve had a number of blog posts based on cool things sent to me by partners. 🙂
@Osamu – Sure, I will mail it to Japan if you’re the winner. I thought a lot about that when I wrote up this contest. My analytics show me that I have a very global readership. And in any case, there are iPhone users all over globe – It’s not like a Starbucks card that possibly won’t be able to be used. So yes, I’ll the 3 iPhone cases whereever…
@Skeedadell – Thank you for saying that! I think it’s a lot of fun to be able to bring people together here on this blog … over a virtual cup of coffee!
This is totally a fun giveaway! I’ve been jonesin’ for a white cover since I saw your first post about the new stuff at the store. Very upset that I can’t find the white case online! Thanks for this post, Melody! You know I’m going to share it for my chance to win! 😉

Melody-
How cool is this!! I need a new iPhone case. My pretty b-jeweled one is losing the jewels. And I would be the envy of all my friends if I sported it on my phone.
I shared on Twitter and Facebook.
I’ll take either color but I’m a messy person so black would probably be better. LOL.
THX!!
