We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Mold tooling is underway!

Update #4 · Feb 25, 2013 · 4 comments

Hi Everyone! We are excited to announce that our mold is currently being manufactured and we expect to see our first production samples within the next 30 days. 

Check out the attached photo of our latest prototype. This one is navy leather on a black case w/custom initials. We updated the lens shape to eliminate any flash ghosting and ensure the best possible picture quality. 

We can't wait to get these in your hands, they are looking awesome :)

      Thanks for the feedback everyone! We were initially planning on a different lens shape that didn't show the two-tone but after our testing we decided to go with this design so that the flash lens didn't reflect off the case and give the picture a ghosting or foggy effect. We think the glass/metal/leather actually compliment each other well though and hopefully you will too when we are able to post more photos and get it in your hands!

      one tiny bit of constructive criticism... i think it would look sleeker if the cutout for the lens/flash didn't show the 2-tone line of the iphone 5... otherwise very nice.
