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!
~Melody

I SHARED! on Facebook your blog post ‘Coffee tasting: Comparing fresh coffee with stale coffee (Starbucks Komodo Dragon Blend)” because I think it’s an interesting post, of course ALL your post are interesting 🙂 but this one in particular is so important because it shows the importance of fresh coffee.
If I should win, I like the black iPhone cover.
Thank you Melody for your work on this blog. I know your a busy person. I look forward to reading your posts!
Melody – check your email. I sent you info on the new star dash I received earlier today. I never got an email for it last year, so I’m excited. I would have posted on an open thread, but don’t think there has been one in awhile 🙂
Hayley – I got the Star Dash email today. That last one was January this year –
http://www.starbucksmelody.com/2012/01/28/february-starbucks-promotion-conversation-29-star-dash-and-the-2-00-breakfast-wrap-with-drink-purchase/
I’ve thought about doing a short blog post on the new Star dash – It seems weird to me that it’s a much small number of Stars. It doesn’t take me very long to get 12 stars! I earn Star for each swipe at Evolution Fresh too.
By the way, congrats on your new job!
And, so far it looks like the odds will be very good in winning the iPhone case cover. LOL 😉
I can only hope…but I have no doubt that you’re receive a ton more entries before the deadline! Which is sad for me, because I LOVE the case, as you know very well….but good for you because you have lots of great followers out there! 🙂
I shared.
Keep up the wonderful work.
Love the star dash! This is my first invite…it will be super easy to meet the quota!
I also got an invite to get a free $10 for setting my iPhone app for auto reload. Love the free ecard offers!
Since the discussion started re the star dash promotion, I too got this email and for the first time. I signed up for it and will most likely be able to get the e gift card. I suppose I should be happy to be included since I did not get the first invite, but I sort of find it funny that the e gift card amount is sort of low.
Melody so glad you are enjoying the chocolate bites!
”I shared!”
I actually shared this competition blog post, which means I’ll probably have more people to compete against!
I liked AND shared, lol! Would LOVE to win an iPhone case 🙂
I shared in FB! If I win, I would love the black case, but of course I would take a white one. As a SBUX addict, I think these are very cool!
I shared! Omg this is so exciting! Thanks melody for doing this.
I shared 🙂 don’t have an iphone but all of my partners do so I can award it to one of them if I win!
I shared! i would like to win the white 1 🙂
I shared on Twitter. Liking the black case and was coveting a Starbucks iPhone case after seeing them on your post. 🙂
I shared! I would love white colour….
I shared. I’m really hoping your site becomes a huge success.
Hi Sharon!
Thanks for saying that! This blog started new Septemeber 9, 2009. It’s changed somewhat since the beginning, and there are things I posted way back when that I’m not sure I’d post now. If you look at the blog post for every September 9th, I do kind of a summary of how that year has been. That’s coming up again soon. I realize now that the odds of any blog becoming a huge success is small. Alexa tracks something like 30 million urls, and so really I’m competing against a lot. But, I will say, I’m happy with how this year is going and thankful for readers like you, and many others in this thread!
Coming soon, September 9th this year, I’ll do another review of how the past 12 months went. **Spoiler alert** I’m delighted that this blog has had over 300,000 absolute unique visitors in the past 12 months (since Sept 9, 2011) and over 500,000 page views. I’m not CNN. I’m not viral. But I’m happy with what’s happening here!
When you look at any blog, and you look at the comments, know that it takes anywhere from 75 to 200 absolute unique visitors to get one blog comment. And that’s about right with this blog. The typical ordinary article has maybe 10 or 12 comments in it (without my voice) and that represents that 1 comment in 100 ratio (roughly) that is fairly normal for blogs.
Whew! I don’t know where the heck that all came from! Come back on September 9th too!
i shared! and if I win, you don’t even have to mail it! 🙂
I shared! Good luck to me! White is nice! Thx!
I shared! (via twitter)
I stumbled upon this blog while searching for information about Starbucks city mugs. This is a great blog! Keep up the good work!
P.S. If I win, I would like to have the black case. 🙂
Hello Songphon! Welcome and glad you like this little blog! I clicked through your Tumblr to check it out, and enjoyed your movie reviews! I thoroughly like going to the movies – especially in the summer. I head to an air conditioned theater when it’s over 85 degrees. LOL. Have to agree, it’s time for the Ice Age movies to end! And I loved Brave and the The Dark Knight rises. Keep up the good work with your movie reviews:

I do kind of want to see the Timothy Green movie too still.
I shared! I love your blog. I would like a black one, please. Thank you.
I shared!!! I’d like the white one. Thanks!!!!!
I shared! A white one plz. Thanks!!!
I shared and would like a black one!!!!
Hi Melody,
I shared your blog post about the Starbucks Gear Store on my facebook page. While many of my friends are big Starbucks fans only one of them actually lives in Seattle so I’m not sure if they’d ever go to the store but hey, you never know 🙂 Anyhow, if I’m lucky enough to win a phone cover I’d choose the white one. Thank you!
Steve
I shared via Twitter and would prefer the black one if I win 🙂

I shared!
On twitter, that is.
It’s my first time to join your contest and I’m so excited 🙂 you see, it’s an awesome mix for me- Starbucks and Apple. There’s no way I can contain my giddiness. Looking forward to more awesome news from you – @8muggler on twitter
You are so awesome Melody 😉
I’d give anything to be able to get to the real store in Seattle! Ha. (I tweeted this)
shared on twitter! either color would be awesome, i’d love for my phone to match the cup that never leaves my hands 😉
I don’t have an iphone but cool contest!!!
I shared on Twitter. Either cover would be awesome. Wishing I could go back and visit Seattle sometime soon 🙂
I shared on FB!
Thanks for the heads up on Twitter, Mel. Shared, Tweeted, and Liked your page. Hopefully, my iPhone will be rocking that black case soon. 🙂
Hi there!
I came across your blog as I was trying to figure out how much caffeine is in the Sbux Refreshers – they have pretty much replaced my Sbux Double Shot love… Anywho, I LOVE me some SBux, so I tweeted, even though I would rather have fewer entries & up my odds!!!
🙂
Here’s my tweet: https://twitter.com/melissyk/status/241653978360856578
I shared, I shared! On twitter.
And any color is fine with me. Thanks for doing this
I shared! Keeping my fingers crossed!
I shared on Twitter! Thank you for all that you do Mel.
I tweeted your contest! Enter me please, I’d love a new sb case!
I shared with you on Twitter! I’d really love the white case! It looks so cool 🙂
And I love your blog, btw
i shared!
btw.. it costs 15$ on starbuckscoffeegear and not 20$.
Costs like 10$ in china (official store)
Ah yes Harrison Lee, you’re right. I asked about that. Here’s what I learned, as I understand it, ONLY partners can shop on the online coffee gear store, but there is no way to give a partner discount online. (??). If you go in person to the store, all the prices are full retail, and partners receive their 30% discount. I’m not even sure I got that exactly right, but that’s how I understood that price difference.
Obviously, I am only able to shop in person at the store in Seattle. And, I’ve heard that there have been official iPhone logo cases for international markets, just had no idea the price.
I really really wish they would just put these on the normal website for us ‘super-fans’ 🙂
i shared! checking your blog all the time and really enjoyed reading them. thank you!!
I shared on Twitter your post about the new Pumpkin ViA which is available today.
If I were to win, I would prefer the black case.
Thank you Melody!
I tweeted for ya, Mel! Would love a black case 🙂
Thanks for the contest. I would love the black case. I shared it on Facebook.
