As part of Hello Kitty’s 35th Anniversary celebration, Sanrio Global Consumer Products is pleased to announce a new partnership with Coveroo, creator of high-quality custom cell phone covers for all major brands of phones.  Debuting in early November with 15 limited edition Hello Kitty Coveroo designs, the collaboration brings SANRIO® characters to life through the cell phone, produced and released in conjunction with the pop icon’s 35th Anniversary on November 1st.

Before Coveroo, consumers had to send phones in to have them customized, but now most phones come with a removable cover.  Using Coveroo, consumers will be able to go online, select their Hello Kitty design and Coveroo will customize the cover and send it to them directly in the mail. Unlike other customization products, Coveroo uses laser engraving technology and a HighColor process to give personal electronic devices a high-quality design that won’t ever fade, peel or rub off. Coveroo supports all major phone brands such as Blackberry, iPhone, Motorola, Samsung and many more.

The line will be available for immediate purchase at www.coveroo.com , sanrio.com and other select retailers.

“We’re honored to be amongst those licensees celebrating Hello Kitty’s big party!” said Coveroo’s CEO, Karl Jacob. “We are overjoyed to be celebrating Hello Kitty’s 35th Anniversary by bringing her designs to the billions of cell phone users in the world.”

Back in the summer when Jon Gosselin got decked out with an Ed Hardy wardrobe, he has become the unofficial poster boy for the clothing brand. I do not understand. The guy gets some shirts from the designer, and then all of a sudden he is the Ed Hardy Poster boy. It seems like no matter what article I read, and Jon Gosselin is mentioned, so is some line about him wearing Ed Hardy. “Walking Ed Hardy billboard, Jon Gosselin”, “the Ed Hardy-loving bachelor-to-be”, and things like, “besides a shirt that doesn’t come from Ed Hardy” is in almost any article your read about the on going Jon and Kate drama. We get the point, he wears Ed Hardy. I think it is time for Jon Gosselin to become disassociated with the Ed Hardy brand.
