I Make My Case (imakemycase.com) is a new site that lets you create your own customized iPhone cases.
Case-mate has launched a new site that it touts as the ‘first online iPhone case personalization tool ‘ “ at imakemycase.com. Here ‘s a little slice of what it offers:
Designed for true customization, I Make My Case allows users to choose all elements of their case starting with the background color scheme and shade. From there they can pull in a variety of elements, including artist-rendered illustrations such as dinosaur skulls, mushroom caps, gems and doodles to ink blots to images of hands and lips, just to name a few. The design is completed as users take advantage of an array of tools to create unique effects with a kaleidoscope, monochromatic palette or mirror option.
Luckily for the clutzy, no-good-at-art folks like me, there is also this option:
Consumers who want the end-result without the effort can purchase a pre-designed case from the site as well.
The new site is quite snazzy and there are a lot of good designs to choose from “ Case-mate seems to have signed up some very good artists to get the ball rolling. I love the colors used in the snake image done by Hannah Stouer that ‘s right at the center of the screenshot at the top of this post.
Here ‘s a little more on how the process of applying your designs works:
Case-mate uses a state-of-the-art 3D printing process that embeds inks directly with the case “ ensuring that it will not scratch or abrade with daily use. The print wraps completely up around the sides of the case providing full 3D coverage as well. Each original case gets stamped with ‘1 of 1 case “ designed by you, produced in Atlanta ‘ on the inside sleeve.
To be fair, this concept seems just about the same as that taken by Uncommon, who we posted about just a couple of weeks back “ but Case-mate is a well-known brand and they ‘re certainly another good option if you ‘re after a customized iPhone case.
There are no details (apart from a single not very informative image) that I ‘ve spotted yet on what the actual case is like that you get along with these designs “ they might want to update that part just a tad. 🙂
The pre-designed cases will go for $34.99 and the customized, made-to-order ones will be $39.99. Customized cases ‘typically ‘ arrive 7-10 days after purchase.
