Marware's women's line includes 2 purses, 3 cases
Cases for the new iPhone are being rapidly announced following Apple's launch of the iPhone 4 at WWDC. On Wednesday, Marware announced 14 cases across four lines for the iPhone 4. The cases are divided among four lines -- Marware calls them families -- The hard shell family has polycarbonate cases, the leather family is aptly named for its use of leather in its cases, the women's leather family features pocket, purse and wrist cases and the soft family features a pair of soft cases.
Marware's hard shell family consists of the SportShell convertible, which offers four cases in one. The case includes a detachable armband and a belt clip. The belt clip can also be used as a kickstand for media viewing. The MicroShell is an ultra-thin polycarbonate case, while the CustomShell is a clear-backed case that allows user-generated printed graphics or images to be displayed.
The leather family leads off with the C.E.O. Premiere, an ROHS-compliant leather hip case with a low profile belt-clip. It has a push-through opening that allows for easy removal of the phone. The C.E.O. Premiere Plus adds a polycarbonate clear shell case in combination with the Premier leather hip case. The C.E.O. Flip-Vue offers a flip-top holster, belt clip and an inner storage pocket. Rounding out the leather family is a leather sleeve, the Glide for iPhone 4.
In the women's leather family the Accent is a white-leather flip-top case in with a colored accent stripe (blue, yellow, pink, purple or green options) that has a pocket for credit cards or cash. The Duo-Glide is a premium leather sleeve that allows access from wither the top or the bottom of the sleeve. The Emmie is a leather clutch purse that holds both an iPhone and credit cars and cash. It has two compartments and offers a removable wrist strap and shoulder strap. The SoBe is a leather vertical purse with an accordion storage compartment, able to fit items like lipstick, keys, identification, cash, cards or keys. It has a removable shoulder strap and can fit an iPhone 4 with a micro case. The Uni-Vue is the final women's case - it is a leather jacket with open-face access to the iPhone, and it includes a removable wrist strap.
Marware's soft cases include the Sport Grip and Sport Grip Edge. The former is a slip-free silicone case, available in black, blue, pink, red and white. The Sport Grip Edge is a band that fits the edges of the iPhone and comes with protective films for the front and rear glass surfaces. The Edge arrives in red, white, blue, black and pink.
Marware's cases range in price from $20 to $45. The company says it will ship the cases when the iPhone 4 ships, currently set for June 24.
