Fabrix Cases

Fabrix cases are unique handmade pouches for iPhone and your other devices. The cases are mostly made of cloth like linen, corduroy etc (yeah, that’s true!), enhancing the “wow” factor. Recently, the company launched some nice printed designs for the cases too. These are “limited” editions of the case and cost a bit more than the normal ones. Although these cases are hand stitched, there’s no compromise with the quality! The stitches are perfect, though the case is a bit loose, which can be taken as a positive point (read below). When it comes to design, their collection is varied, ranging from base cloth changes to three great printed designs that give your device a personal touch. A small “cute” feature of the case is that it sports a little lanyard inside to hang a keychain or some other small stuff.

The limited edition cases have their name hidden at the bottom with a little company tag on side. The stitching is clearly visible on the inside of case but it’s completely invisible outside. There’s even some extra space in the pouch that allows you to put the phone in with a thin case on it – but thick ones like the Mophie doesn’t fit at all.
