SliqCase is a company that develops silicone cases for portable media players that provide multiple functions in a simple, non-obtrusive design. Their first product is a wallet case for the 3rd generation iPod Touch that protects it from dust and scratches while allowing the user to store cards. Their marketing plan involves raising awareness of the product through subway ads and showing people using the product on trains to generate interest and drive sales through a buy one get one promotion. They estimate their first production run of 10,000 units at a cost of $19,000 and expect to break even by selling around 48,000 units in their first year of operation.
