The EXOvault Metal iPhone 4 Case Provides Extra Protection

— August 13, 2010 — Tech
Here at Trend Hunter, we had featured the EXOvault metal case for the iPhone 3G and 3Gs. Now with the release of the iPhone 4 you better believe there is a EXOvault metal iPhone 4 case.

Like its previous cases, the new EXOvault metal iPhone 4 case is all metal either aluminum or brass with wooden side. The design is not 2D, but rather it is engraved into the case.

Implications - The EXOvault Metal iPhone 4 is a phenomenal piece of design that is certainly worthy of being in a museum. Of all the iPod protection devices that I have seen over the last little while, this is definitely the one that I want the most.
