DEMO 09 – Opening Reception, Interview 8: Coveroo

March 2, 2009 / / 0 Comments

Graeme Thickins of Tech~Surf~Blog interviews Keith Jacob, head of business development for Coveroo, at the DEMO ’09 conference, which was held March 1-3, 2009, in Palm Desert, CA.

As I was leaving the outdoor setting of the reception, heading for the press dinner, I ran into my buddy Chris Gammill from LA, who’s here with TechZulu.com covering the event. He introduced me to Keith Jacob of Coveroo, another presenting company, based in San Francisco. Coveroo replaces the original back cover of your mobile device or MP3 player with a custom version featuring laser-engraved artwork from your favorite brand, TV show, movie, or artist. (I apologize, my volume goes down towards the end of this one, but does come back up.)  I forgot to grab a photo of Keith, so I’m including here a wide shot as the party was wrapping up.
