Whoa… This story blew our minds!!! We hear some pretty unbelievable stories about cell phones being saved by case-mate cases, but we’ve never heard a story about a case saving a case-mate customer before.
According to reports, a woman in Dayton, OH survived a stray bullet shot when she was hit in the exact spot of her BlackBerry cell phone – sporting a green case-mate Barely There case.
I love getting these stories from customers! Phil, thanks for sending!
Case-mate, I just wanted to drop a thank you to you guys since your case saved my iPhone 3G from sure destruction!
You see, I have a Second Skin Case on my iPhone but on this particular day I did not have the second color on, just the black base. My 4 year old son was asleep when the time came for us to drive and pick-up my wife and daughter form drama rehearsal, so I had to put him in his car seat. Just before I did, I placed my iPhone on top of our PT Cruiser and forgot it was there. I jumped in the car and started on the journey.
The ride consisted of 8 miles with traveling speeds of 25 to 55 mph. It also included small town traffic, stop signs, traffic lights, a railroad crossing, a bridge and it was raining! As I pulled in to the theater I heard the top of the car vibrating and was struck with sheer horror as I realized my wonderful iPhone was on top of my car. I leaped out and the horror morphed into joy as I saw my dear iPhone still sitting on top of the car and realized it had amazingly stayed for the entire trip! I laughed and gave a thunderous applause, for it was saved!
Not sure if the Second Skin Case was designed for such adventures…but nonetheless, there it is!!!
Thanks again!
Phil B. Cary, NC

I would like to express my appreciation for the integrity of your products. I recently purchased an iPhone and promptly looked for a fashionable durable case. After extensive research, I choose a Case-Mate Hipster iPhone case. A couple of weeks ago, while getting ready for work, I noticed my iPhone was missing off the dresser. I feared the worse and looked outside and there it was laying on our concrete patio with teeth marks showing on the outside of the case. My seventy pound boxer dog was hiding around the corner of the house when I went out to retrieve it. I open the case and could not believe what I saw. There was no broken glass, not even a scratch on the phone, in-fact the puncture marks had not even penetrated through the case.
Thanks Case-Mate, you saved me a lot of money and frustration and I will always purchase my cases from you in the future.
Sincerely,
David L.

Rick W. from Dallas, TX wrote to us with a great story about how our signature leather case protected his iPhone 3G!
“After working a 14 hour day I wasn’t paying complete attention and left my iphone on the back of my Avalanche and drove back to hotel. The next morning I remembered that I had put my phone on the back of my truck and had to retrace my 6 mile drive from the night before. I was amazed that I found my phone about 3.5 miles away from the job on the side of I40 in Oklahoma City. It had apparently been run over and knocked to the side of the interstate. The case was damaged but minimal damage to the phone and it still works !!! Maximum protection !!! See photos.”
