CASE123 MPS Leather Holsters Chronology

CASE123 MPS Large/Oversized Leather Belt Clip Holsters from the beginning


Ever since the introduction of the original CASE123 MPS (Multi-layer Protection System) leather holster for Apple iPhone 4 back in Dec 2010, it has became an instant success in equipping iPhone users with a carrying solution without having to take their beloved protective case off.  Today, this original model is widely sold on Amazon as well as on the CASE123 official website.



Subsequently, seeing the widespread use of rugged cases such as the otterbox commuter, Ballistic SG series, and the likes, CASE123 has released the MPS XL Leather Holster, suited for users using a rugged case as their protection.



With the release of the Samsung Galaxy S2, android phones were on the rise that led to today's widespread popularity.  And when the Samsung Galaxy S3 was introduced in May 2012, with its large screen and slim profile, it has captured many users instantly.  In Jun 2012, CASE123 introduced the CASE123 MPS XXL leather holster to provide Samsung Galaxy S3 users with a belt carrying solution while the sleek phone is wrapped in a TPU cover or rugged cases (ie. Otterbox Commuter).  It has been an instant success, and continues to be a hot selling item. 


With the launch of the Apple iPhone 5 in Sept 2012, CASE123 was quick to extend the MPS leather holster line up to equip iPhone 5 users with an oversized carrying solution.  With 3 series introduced nearly simultaneously, iPhone 5 users using different case sizes are accommodated, with 2 leather types to choose from. 

 




In May 2013, two additional models were introduced: The CASE123 MPS XXL for iPhone 5 using a waterproof case (ie. Otterbox Armor Series) or battery case (ie. Mophie), and the CASE123 MPS XXL for Samsung Galaxy S4 (compatible with Otterbox Commuter, Urban Armor Gear Composite Case, and more).  The introduction of these 2 new holsters were an instant success. 




The CASE123 MPS XXL Oversized Leather Holster is also available for LG Optimus G, LG Google Nexus 4, HTC 8X, HTC One, and more. 

What's Next?

New CASE123 MPS line up are in the works, with 2 series being introduced simultaneously by fall 2013.  Stay tuned to our blog for updates.

CASE123 Store closing its week days operations

Very sad, but we do have to cut the losses and change the business models when we can.

Starting in  July 2011, our store location will only be open on Sat.  Have to let our weekday staff knows about this decision.......  Not my favourite thing to do for sure.

Verizon iPhone 4

With the newly released Verizon iPhone 4, there are some differences in the physical appearance of the phone.  As discussed in various online articles, the Verizon version of iPhone 4 have moved its antenna to avoid the previously reported antenna problem with the GSM version of  the iPhone 4.  Along with this, the construct of the metallic ring around the iPhone 4 have prompted the shift in the mute button to be closer to the volume buttons.

Now, this can be an opportunity or disadvantage to case makers.  For case makers that made precise cutouts on the mute and volume buttons, their cases will not be compatible with the Verizon iPhone 4.  For those that made a single wide cut out, what they have created for the GSM version of iPhone 4 would be fully compatible with the new Verizon iPhone 4.  

The opportunity is, this will be a huge feature that Verizon iPhone 4 cusotmers will be looking for; a compatible case as soon as they receive their pre-ordered phones.  

At CASE123, most of our best-selling TPU gel skins are compatible with the new Verizon iPhone 4, as we have a single wide cutout on them.  Furthermore, this does not affect out line of multi-layer protector system holsters and sleeves, as they can be used to holder either version of the iPhone 4.  Maybe more luckily, our real carbon fiber back case for iPhone 4 is compatible, making it a compelling product available right from the start.
