Carbon-Fibre Cover For the Apple Iphone

October 3rd 2008 00:01
Belch Carbon-Fibre iPhone case


I don't have an iPhone but it's one sexy and sleek gadget that I admire a lot. If I had one, I reckon I'd be one of those paranoid types, you know, one that's always worried about dropping and damaging such an awesome looking device. I'm not saying the iPhone isn't well made or sturdy, but given its rather large screen area and a back cover made from plastic, dropping it could do some damage, I reckon.

And you can't just put the iPhone in some el cheapo case/cover because you'd just ruin its good looks which is one of the phone's biggest draw cards in the first place. Surely there has to be some sort of compromise.

And there is in the form of a 100% aerospace grade carbon fibre. Anyone that knows anything about carbon fibre will have heard of its ultra lightweight and super strong properties. This particular case is no different - weighing in at just 7g, it features cut-outs for the screen, docking and headphones ports, side controls, camera, and home button which means the iPhone should never have to be removed from its protective sheath.

Thinly constructed yet ultra durable, the case measures just 119 x 64 x 15mm to ensure that only a few additional millimetres are added to the dimensions of the iPhone itself!

I know what you mean, Arnold... That's the same concern I have -- just seems so fragile. My thinking is that a cover will at least bumper any bumps/falls it might have.

p/s...I'm getting one for Christmas...Can't wait!!

I have a friend who is more than happy with the Carbon-Fibre. I was about to buy one but then came across the superslim from ikonicEdge.com. You probably haven't heard of these guys as they hand make their iphone pouches in New Zealand but I'd like to others to see there are some small players out there who offer some strong alternatives to the big players and without the high prices.
