It's not unusual to hear the sounds of our 3D printer humming away into the night, building a prototype. It makes an incredibly soothing background noise for such a big machine. Sometimes, we set the baby on top of it to induce napping. Tonight, we built the fourth prototype of the upcoming [REDACTED] Case for iPhone 4S.

Frankly, the last thing we want to do is make another iPhone case that will just end up in a landfill. I'm sure you can understand - besides being a rather uninteresting product category, it's just wasteful.

This concept was different from the start. The design has personality, great function, and a great look. We think it could really catch on. Still, it's only a case.

When the design is complete, we'll show you. We may not mass produce it. We may not sell it at all. However, I'll have one. It'll be on my iPhone. It'll be nice.
