Leo’s Turn The Table Turkey – Surprise – It’s not a new phone this time.

DateMarch 31, 2012 CommentPost a Comment

But it is a new phone case! Well more than just a case as you can read on the company website:

Rokbed v3 is more than just a case; it’s a system. The new v3 includes never before seen features such as an integrated lock mechanism, anti slip grip, detachable lanyard and an optional magnet insert. Made from tough polycarbonate that is reinforced in critical areas the Rokbed v3 is also one of the most protective iPhone 4/4s cases on the market today, protecting your phone from six directions. It’s compatible with all iPhone carriers. Designed, engineered and made in the USA.

And now back to me! Leo liked the open grille work design. Cases are available in injection molded polycarbonate frame and thermoplastic non-slip grip insert and there's an aluminum version. He showed us how tight it fits, and explained that it probably won’t work well if you have a screen protector on your phone. Leo also like the Remote Mounting System (RMS), that lets you mount your iPhone most anywhere, car, bike, etc. with optional accessories. There’s are also add-on (optional) belt clips, or belt clips with bottle opener. There's even an magnet option if you want to quickly stick your iPhone onto a metal surface. Leo liked how all these various accessories lock securely into the back of the Rokbed case. He thought he might buy the tripod adapter for his iPhone case. The Rokbed v3 polycarbornate case itself is $39 and it’s available in a dozen colors. The aluminum version is $79. Options start at $8 and up. While looking through the company site Leo was suddenly disappointed that the company had sent him a lower price model and not one of their Rokform Limited Edition Luxury Series custom made cases with 24K Gold Plating or Chrome Plating. They retail for $299.99! (Leo was kidding, of course. I think.)
