Father's Day Giveaway: Win an iPhone or iPod case with your kid's photo


I don't know about you, but one of the things that makes both me and Dave particularly happy in life is photos of the kids. Our 1910 colonial is decorated in Early Max and Early Sabrina—there are baby pics of them everywhere. I'd seriously consider moving so we could find more room for photos.

You can bet I said yes when Uncommon asked if I'd like to try one of their customized cases for the iPhone/iPod. You just upload a photo, click "order" and a few weeks later, a case arrives with an embedded pic. It's kind of magical—the thing doesn't peel or chip, no matter how much your kids like to play catch with your device and/or randomly fling it around. I've gotten tons of compliments on mine. You can also choose from dozens of cool designs if you'd prefer.

The Uncommon peeps are giving away two cases, each worth $40 (free shipping included). To enter, just leave a comment about who usually takes the photos in your family. My answer: ME! Which is why I'm in hardly any family photos.

Bonus entries:

• Follow Love That Max on Twitter
• Like Love That Max on Facebook
• Mention this giveaway in your blog and post a link
• Tweet about this giveaway (one a day). Here's a tweet: Win a custom iPhone or iPod case with your kid's photo on it from @LoveThatMax, ends 6/9, http://tinyurl.com/3qgeqcd

This giveaway is open until Thursday, June 9 at 11:59 p.m. ET and is for U.S. and Canadian residents 18 and older. I will randomly pick one winner, alert you by email and announce it here. Good luck!

Update: The winners are Finding Normal and Justin and Victoria Nelson. Enjoy!

    Honestly, we're not good at doing photos. I guess I take the most, but always a random cell phone pic. My husband will do the same. The only decent pics we get are the annual professional ones. :)

    I take most of the photos of my kids... with my iPhone! Every few months my husband takes photos of the kids with his fancy DSLR but usually it's because I threaten to take the kids to Picture People and get what he thinks are corny portraits of the kids.

    Our home is also decorated in early Leo...& later Leo, & Leo now...age 7. :)

    Robin (hubby) usually takes the greatest pics around here! He is amazing! I would love us to be able to photograph Leo when we're out somewhere, but we miss alot of Moments, thinking, "Ah, that would have been such a great photo!" (BuddyBall, swimming, etc.)
    (Ellen, I'm not trying to appeal to your sympathies.) :)
    (Really, Ellen.I mean it.)

    Some people have no food...so I know our techie shortcomings are not needs.

    reminder: I follow you everywhere, Princess Ellen. I read you every single Day, even tho I usually don't have time to comment.
    I (we) love you!

    How's that? (I know I won't win, but I enjoyed writing this silliness.)

    Thanks for Being! & catch HeartVibes from CherylFaith, Leo, & Robin

    Okay, trying this for the millionth time. (Well, maybe just the tenth or so in the past few days...)

    *I* am our photographer. This is evidenced by not only my lack of appearance in 99.9% of our family photos, but by the fact that the majority of the .1% I *am* in are all taken, curiously enough, at exactly one arm's length away from my head.
