Today we’ve got something a little extra interesting for you–a little something from our new friends out at Proporta, who sent on a variety of interesting things for us, and the first is the Proporta Aluminum Lined Leather Case for the Apple iPhone 4. However, I should make clear that it does do a bang-up job with the iPod Touch, as well, and most any comparably sized device (a Sony Walkman, for example) should do here as well.
The Proporta Aluminum Lined Leather Case is pretty much what it says on the box. It’s a small leather case, about the same size as your standard iPhone, and you insert the phone (or comparably sized item) in the top, where it is protected by an outside layer of leather and an inside layer of aircraft-grade aluminum covered over by some kind of fabric, I can’t tell which. It even comes with a lifetime warranty, and one other feature, a pull tab that allows you to instantly disgorge the stored item from the case simply by pulling the tab.
When I showed people how this worked, they were amazed. Everyone thought mostly the same thing–you stick your iPhone in there, how do you get it out? A lot of pinching and struggling, right? No, no–just pull that red tab (pictured below) and your iPhone just slides right out of the case. I’ve been using this to transport around my iPod touch and I tell you it works just as well. It reduces the smudging on my screen (it even cleans it, just a little, with that in-out motion working almost like a screen polishing action) and keeps it safe as well. I’m really very impressed with this–the lining is even pinstriped for that added note of largely unnecessary luxury.
High quality materials, an innovative little pull tab for removing your hardware, and an absolutely fantastic look make this a phone case you’ll definitely want to have. In fact, there’s only one downside to this at all, the fact that they’re asking $43.95 for one of these. That’s probably a whole lot more than you’re going to want to pay for a cell phone case, but still, if you want top notch in your casing, well, this should definitely be in the top ranking.
The Good
Incredible design
