Show Report: Huckleberry
Huckleberry came to the 2013 CES with a new collection of iPhone cases that immediately caught our attention. The good news: the lineup of DC and Marvel Comics Chara-Covers ($35 each) includes some of the best-looking 3-D molded cases we’ve seen, featuring multiple colors, cute cartoony versions of classic characters, and reasonable iPhone protection. Bad news: they’re only for the iPhone 4/4S, not the iPhone 5—at least for now. Some of the cases are apparently planned for availability in January, others for April.

-
DC Comics characters on display included Superman, Batman, Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, and The Joker. Batgirl comes in at least two color variations, including a purple version not shown here.
-
Marvel's characters tended to focus on familiar Avengers -- Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Thor among them -- but also included Wolverine and Venom.
-
While a lot of time has been spent getting the back of each case right, the fronts are relatively open -- think particularly thick rubber shells. But the cases let iPhones stand upright.

Do you know if there will be a poison ivy case included in the huckleberry marvel cases

There wouldn’t be a Poison Ivy case in the Marvel cases, since Poison Ivy is a DC character… But she wasn’t shown as part of the lineup when these were previewed July of last year at San Diego Comic-Con.
