Tech21's New Apple-Exclusive iPhone Cases Designed to Match Apple Watch Sport Bands

[MacRumors]

Tech21 today announced that its Evo Mesh Sport and Evo Elite case lineup for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are now available exclusively through the Apple Store and Apple Online Store. The new Evo Mesh Sport is the first iPhone case to identically match the Apple Watch sport band colors, in blue, green, pink, smokey black and white, while the new Evo Elite has a scratch-resistant aluminum finish.

Both of the new Evo cases for iPhone feature Tech21's impact-absorbing material FlexShock, which is capable of withstanding drops up to 6.6 feet and is both thinner and lighter than many competing cases. The cases also provide full access to all of the iPhone's ports and buttons, with corner and edge encasing and a raised screen bezel for added protection.

The new Evo Elite case can be purchased in space gray, silver and gold for $49 for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, while the new Evo Mesh Sport case is available in blue, green, pink, smokey black and white for $39 for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. The new Evo Mesh Sport with matching band colors has yet to become available on the Apple Store in the United States, but some of the new colors have surfaced on the U.K. store.

I'd rather poke out my eyes with a fork than put these abominations onto my phone.

 

[LewisChapman]

Tech21 are producing some good stuff.

 

[cobbyco]

Yea, erm...

I'm fine thanks.

 

[AngerDanger]

They match the bands in color but not in style. There are also four different colors per case: colored edges, gray button borders, a lighter gray back, and black around the camera; less would be nice.

 

[antiprotest]

Not the worst cases in the world, but not worth the price.

 

[definitive]

$40-50? lol

These cases are dog ugly. However they are also functional tanks.

I remember a colleague throwing their iPhone 5S across the shop floor, and then my cracking it, edge first, onto a table at full force.

Not a blemish.

And the TrueTone flash matches Apple Watch sport bands too?

errrr... photoshop failed... fire the designer please !

I've had tech21 cases on my last two iPhones and they've been great. Thin with good protection. $35 at BestBuy.

Shame they look so ugly in my opinion. I'm sure they will appeal to others.

These cases are great. The armor material is actually called D30 and it's pretty fantastic. Mine has taken many a drop on concrete and the phone is unharmed.

 

[APlotdevice]

Oh NOW they make a blue one...

At first I thought that this Tech21 was the same Tech21 that makes guitar amps and pedals in NYC.

 

[kazmac]

I've liked their cases in the past, but I am not a fan of those colors.

Anyone know why eBay is flooded with these Tech21 cases? Are they fakes or actually oems?

i believe they are last years models, same with Amazon.

The cases do not look that bad. Here is the Clear/White Evo Mesh I had on my Gold 6 last year.
