Trying to design a better iPhone case ranks right up there with designing a better mouse trap. Everyone thinks they can do it, but only a rare few have. Most iPhone cases bore me because they all look relatively similar and have nothing that makes them stand out from all the other cases on the market. When people send me links to cases that they want reviewed or mentioned, my eyes usually glaze over. So when I saw a new email in my inbox that had the subject of Chrono Case – an “Insanely Great” iPhone Case, I may have actually yawned. But then I read Mike Chan’s email about his Indiegogo project (similar to Kickstarter). This case is made of aluminum and features a screwless design and an adjustable strap that is built into the back side of the case. This elastic strap can be used hold items like credit cards, money or your earbuds. But it can also be used as a gripping aid by sliding your fingers under the strap. A $55 pledge gets you on the list for a black Chrono Case. Higher donations will get you other colors. What do you think? Does it have potential?

Jumped on this with a quickness! Sleek design, maximum protection, and superior functionality was an easy sell for me. I love my girlie things and I’ll admit I have bought a few cute Hello Kitty cases. But the truth is, they offered crap protection and I had to take it off at the office (probably a career limiting move to parade the pink bling-bling kitty bow). I also bought one of those wallet ones for easy when going out. Switching the phone in and out became annoying and something about holding a mini wallet to your ear makes you feel silly. THIS is different. I think THIS will be the only case I’ll need – it’s adult, it’s good looking, it’s functional.
It is an accommodating and fashionable case. This will benefit a person who uses crutches.
Amazing!
