Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Announcements, Apple, Smartphones, Features,
Since our last giveaway contest went so well (and the HDX Dragon computer is on its way to our winner!), we thought you guys might be interested in yet another opportunity to win some cool stuff from Gear Live. That’s why we are giving away a one-of-a-kind customized iPhone, along with a bunch of accessories from LRG and Monster Cable. Even better? This time, we will have three winners.
What makes our iPhone so special? Well, we’ve had it customized and done up in Gear Live colors. Heck, we even put our logo on it, so you can rock the fact that you are a fan of what we do here. Also, we will unlock it for you, if you like, prior to sending it over. We are gonna make this one easy too. The contest starts today, and will end on July 2, 2008. Between now and then, we are gonna be monitoring comments left throughout Gear Live, and forum posts. If you are a regular participants in those areas, you will have an opportunity to win. On July 3, we will compile a list of members who have been active during the contest period, and we will then choose our first, second, and third place winners randomly. Here are the full details on the three packages:
Grand Prize:
- Customized orange Gear Live iPhone
- 3 LRG | Monster iPhone cases of your choosing
- LRG Tee Shirt
- iCableLink iPhone headphone jack adapter
- iSoniTalk iPhone microphone
Second Place:
- 2 LRG | Monster iPhone cases of your choosing
- LRG Tee Shirt
- iCableLink iPhone headphone jack adapter
- iSoniTalk iPhone microphone
Third Place:
- 1 LRG | Monster iPhone cases of your choosing
- LRG Tee Shirt
- iCableLink iPhone headphone jack adapter
- iSoniTalk iPhone microphone
Oh, and just to be clear, if you spam, you are eliminated from the contest. We are looking for people who genuinely add to the conversation across our network in blog comment posts, and on the Gear Live Forums. That means you have to be a member of the site to win, so if you aren’t already, go ahead and sign up. One last thing, we can only award the prize to a resident of the USA. If you plan on winning and you don’t live here, you’d better have a cousin or great aunt with an address in the US that we can ship your package to.
A big thank you to LRG and Monster Cable for helping us out with this contest.
