Since 2010 I have designed and manufactured what many consider to be the best iPhone cases available. Originally used by the U.S. Army, they have been adopted all over the world as a durable protective case. My cases are officially approved by the U.S. Army Brigade Modernization Command.

I currently make iPhone cases using custom water-cooled CNC 3D printers I designed, built and programmed. Using an extremely durable, professional grade engineering nylon that is skin safe, I create a state-of-the-art iPhone case that protects your iPhone like no conventional material. Engineering nylon is future proofed for emerging technologies like satellite connectivity. With material signal invisibility and nonmagnetic fasteners, my cases create no known interference. Designed to work with current, 2024, iPhone specifications and engineering requirements.

He has worked with composites since 1986 when he bought a used surfboard and repaired it after Wave Riding Vehicles (a local surfboard manufacturer) gave him some resin and fiberglass.
