It all started innocently enough. Thomas was traveling in Thailand. He emailed Judie and Dan and asked- “You think I should get Larry a ‘Hello Kitty’ iPhone case?“ But here’s the thing… HE ASKED JUDIE AND DAN! You think we would just leave it at that? (If you answered “Yes.” you don’t know us very well.)

It took off from there.

Thomas bought a bunch of odd iPhone cases, Dan created a company called “Case Distribution International” and set up a gmail account for it. The three of us  wrote Larry a letter that read-

Mr. Larry,

We have seen your YouTube videos and were hoping you would be interested in working with us. We are a small company that is trying to break into the crowded iPhone case market. We are specialize in low-cost, interesting case designs. We have a few cases we are starting with and will then expand. We will also launch website in next weeks. We would like to send them to you in the coming days and hope you will choose to review them. If you are interested please send mailing address and we will ship.
Please let us know when they have been posted.

Sincerely

CDI
CaseDistributionInternational

Judie hit “send” and off we went. Well the cases came today and Dan made sure to have Larry do the unboxing on Skype. Here it is.. enjoy…

Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him. +Dan Cohen
