True stoy. I was on my way back from North Carolina planning a blog conference, Reviewer’s Retreat, sitting in a Mexican restaurant at the airport when my waitress made a bit of a scene. I didn’t necessarily mind except that my food had just come out, and nothing stands in the way of me and an enchilada.
“How cool is that phone cover color?”" she asked.
“Neat, right?” I answered as the smell of Mexican wafted through the air.
I qualified, “It actually glows in the dark.”
“No WAY!” the waitress replied, leaving for the moment.
As I lifted the fork I was surprised to see her right back at the table with a friend.
“Look at that phone cover…it GLOWS in the dark!” she told her.
And on the conversation went with both ladies until I had supplied the brand name (M-Edge), phone cover details (Alter Ego), website (medgestore.com) and evidence that it did indeed glow as one young woman held it up into her cupped “dark-inducing” hands. I’m used to the commotion an M-Edge cover creates and am considering getting a seperate business card to hand out (after I work out a deal with the company of course) since EVERY time we go out to eat and bring the iPad for the kids someone asks where we got our SuperShell iPad cover.
I’m no marketing pro and have only been blogging since 2007, but I’m pretty sure a good strategy for M-Edge might be to give parents the Alter Ego, SuperShell and other top sellers for families (and cool kids) and ask them go out to dinner.
On a totally different and unrelated topic, I plan to get my mother an M-Edge Design Your Own e-reader cover with a picture of the grandkids in case you’re looking for a fun Mom’s Day gift.

While I can’t speak as a hardcore techie but instead as someone who loves the new “thing” in electronics, I was blown away by the all new Samsung Rugby Smart from AT&T. My first impression out of the box was that it looked sleek yet rugged all at once. Turning it on, I was impressed by the large, touchscreen display and it’s “Google” friendliness. I’m a Google girl who hasn’t experimented with Android so using the Rugby Smart over the last few weeks was actually quite fun.
