Exovault is a artist-run company we provide the kind of low volume, high-quality product that can appeal to a small and specific part of the population- like you. We are irritated by so many high volume, massed-produced products that must lose their individuality and integrity in order to appeal to an increasingly wide and thus inherently bland demographic. EXOvault cases are made in our studios in Brooklyn, NY- from design, to proto-type to the final hand-finished product, we take steps to stand apart from the rest in our level of craftsmanship, our choice of quality materials and our dedication and attention to detail. Our design is not intended to appeal to all it is interned to appeal to a the few with a higher standard. Our goal is too remain small and individual. We stand behind our cases, and want you to enjoy them as much as we do! A lot of people have iPhones- only a few have the protection of an EXOvault case.
NEW MODEL exo2
We have a new model that improves reception and GPS quality. We have replaced the aluminum flutes with an elegant hardwood insert, which is held in place with a stunning dovetail-like joint. The aluminum surface flows seamlessly into the hand finished rosewood back. Rosewood, which is both extremely hard and beautiful, provides a better path for reception. The reception with this model is as good as it gets. We have also improved GPS signal reception by providing additional slots in the upper left of the phone.
The EXOvault case is machined from solid metal stock in two pieces, providing you with a distinctive and beautiful handcrafted object that sets itself apart from the average modern plastic world.
You have the choice of light silver-tone aluminum, black aluminum or classic brass all made to perfectly fit the iPhone 3G or 3GS.
EXOvault Aluminum iPhone Cases
The aluminum case is both lightweight, durable and is our best selling case. It has an elegant tech look and fits the iPhone 3G or 3GS like a glove. Your phone will not rattle around or move within the case. The case will not scratch your phone. The inside is milled smooth to the touch. Our cases are made from two pieces of solid aluminum stock, which we carefully mill and finish by hand. They are then anodized- a process that renders the aluminum harder, stronger and scratch resistant. We offer a clear anodize which showcases the look of the raw aluminum, while still providing a hard, scratch resistant finish or a deep black anodize that really highlights the iPhone’s touch screen. The case is a two-piece case that screws together with included machine screws. We provide extra screws and the correct allen wrench to outfit your phone. The case is simple and quick to put on and take off. All openings and switches are readily accessible through the EXOvault case. We guarantee the fit of all Apple brand iPhone chargers and headphones (the white ones that came with your iPhone.) We cannot guarantee the fit of all third party accessories.
EXOvault Brass iPhone Cases
We think the brass is a beautiful material in its raw form, so we wanted to keep this rich patina and finish on our cases. The brass case will wear and continue to patina slightly with use. Its surface will be unique to you…daily wear and tear should only improve the look and feel of this case. We did not feel the need to over polish and strip this wonderful metal of its inherent natural beauty, and so small scratches and imperfections may be expected and should prove to add to its rustic charm.
Durability: The case is milled from solid billet stock providing a very strong unit. Our case greatly enhances the durability of the phone but is not indestructible.
Returns: We will accept returns within one week from the day you receive the shipment. There will be a twenty percent restocking fee. The case can only be returned if it is still in new condition.
Accessories: The case is made to work with the usb adaptor supplied with the iPhone. It will also work with some third party units but not all.
How iPhone is inserted in case: When you receive your case it will come with extra screws and an allen wrench. The screws are common 2-56 socket head cap screws 1/4 inch long and can be found outside the USA.
Will the Case scratch my Phone: The case will fit your iPhone like a glove. Your phone will not jiggle around at all. The case will not scratch your iPhone and we provide a protective film at connection points inside the case to avoid scratches.
Care of Brass Phone: If you should decide to clean or brighten up your brass case we suggest you try a fine grade Scotch Brite pad which you will find available at most hardware or large grocery stores. For best results, rub the case lightly from top to bottom in a straight-line motion. You will lift some of the patina by doing this that will again reappear with repeated use.
Anodizing process: The aluminum cases are anodized. This provides and extremely hard and durable surface that is part of the metal and will never flake off.
Reception: All cases are metal and may affect reception. That said, we have spent a lot of time refining the design to provide you with the best combination of metal construction and quality reception. The main antennas on the iPhone are located at the bottom rear of the phone. In the exo1 we have provided slots that allow the phone to send and receive information while still providing a high degree of protection. In the exo2, the rosewood inlay replaces the metal flutes over the antennas and offers improved reception, as well as having additional vents on the case front for improved GPS performance.
