Case-Mate Quartet Case Makes a Comeback at CES

Kristy Korcz — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 11:21:57 PST

We initially wrote about the Case-Mate Quartet Case ($35) back in Jan. 2011, but the colorful snap-together case saw a resurgence of sorts at CES after Case-Mate invited attendees to mix-and-match their own from bins of rainbow-colored pieces. Expo-goers seemed to flock to the booth and spent extended periods of time sifting through each bin to find the perfect color theme for their smartphones. Much to the disappointment of Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone users though, the Quartet Case (and similar Colorways Case) are limited to the iPhone 4/4S for now.

Designed alongside French designer Erik Arlen, each case comes with six pieces to create an evolving look for your phone, with five different color combinations and themes, including Chantilly lace, high contrast, sensuous silk, rustic tweed, and vintage flannel.

Case-Mate Posts Images of iPhone 5 Cases Online

Kristy Korcz — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 09:34:10 PDT

We've had a sneaking suspicion that the iPhone 5 will come with a thinner and wider body, thanks to all the rumors that have surfaced over the past few months. If these images from Case-Mate are any indication, our suspicions might be spot-on.

iPhone accessory manufacturer Case-Mate posted images of its iPhone 5 case lineup on its website this morning, showing off what the iPhone 5's body might look like. The cases have a very iPad-like back, a slimmer profile, and rounded edges, which takes a step away from the flat-paneled body that came with the iPhone 4.

Check out all of the designs (that are already priced from $15-$40) and links to their product pages in the gallery.

Want to keep Summer around for the next few months? Slap on the Case-Mate Colorways Case ($30) on your iPhone 4, and take it with you wherever you go. The bright and cheery colors of this case can make anyone happy, and the construction of the case is interesting, too. Coming in three parts, you click the top and bottom parts into place via the middle-blue body portion, making a cool and colorful pattern.

Pretty For Spring: Case-Mate's Kayla iPhone Wristlet

Kristen Hawley — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 01:54:29 PDT

Sure, I'll extol the benefits of a large bag to tote your gear, but sometimes smaller is better. Case in point: the Case-Mate Kayla Wristlet ($48) with a dedicated pocket to tote your iPhone (or similarly sized smartphone).

It comes in four bold colors, with a canvas and leather exterior and wrist strap. Inside, a zipper pocket, money pocket, two credit card slots, and an ID window for keeping all of your essentials neatly organized. If you're not sold on the canvas, there's also a leather option for $58. Click through the slideshow to take a closer look.

Snap Together an iPhone 4 Case All Your Own

If you thought Case Mate's Stack Case for the iPhone 4 was great, check out the Quartet Case ($35), a similarly designed case for your iPhone 4 that comes in mix-and-match, snap-together pieces. Like the Stack Case, the Quartet Case was also conceived by industrial designer Erik Arlen.

Each case comes with six pieces to create an evolving look for your phone, and four different color combinations are available. For now, this case is only available for the AT&T iPhone 4; stay tuned for a Verizon version.

I'm (of course) partial to the orange hues but love that purchasing more than one set will allow for even more creative color combinations.

A Completely New Take on an iPhone 4 Case From Case Mate

Kristen Hawley — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 03:00:19 PST

When it's on your phone, it looks like an ordinary case, but the iPhone 4 Stacks Case ($35) from Case Mate is anything but ordinary. Designed by artist Erik Arlen, who wanted to encourage customization and interaction, these cases aren't the first DIY case from the manufacturer, but it might be my favorite.

The case features six interchangeable sections that are stacked to form one solid case. The finished look is slim, modern, and protective. It's available in three different color combinations that can be mixed and matched (if you buy more than one, that is) to create a completely customized look.
