You'll recall I wrote a couple of posts about this time last year recapping my experience at CES 2013, one concerning my work for a Minnesota-based startup client there, and another about a giant Minnesota company that also had a presence there.
Well, I attended CES again this year, in support of that same startup client, 
Canopy Co., which was introducing a new model of its "app-enhancing" iPhone case, this time a pressure-sensitive version. It is a pretty amazing product! Once again, here's a rundown of the media coverage I helped the company attract from this year's CES appearance (to date):
