Solid iPhone Case Discovered

We’ve found it! The holy grail of iPhone cases! Take a look on Ebay or in stores online and you’ll find no shortage of iPhone cases claiming to be made of high quality materials. However in our experience, they all fall short in some way. Either they have a cheap hinge, the belt click is very lightweight, the plastic scratches easily or what have you.

If you’re currently selling iPhone cases in quantity or are interested in becoming a distributor, Rio United, Ltd. is looking for you and their cases are really in a class by themselves. Have a look at this video demonstration:

The case comes in a blister pack with clear English suitable for resell in the US and Europe.

In addition to the case itself, Rio United also sells a ‘cupholder/suction cup’ add-on that works very well with this case. With the case and the cupholder add-on paired together, you can essentially hold your iPhone in any standard size cupholder for GPS use etc.

The cupholder add-on unscrews open, exposing some storage space.

Once unscrewed, the top of the cupholder add-on can be used as a suction cup on a window. The iPhone twists vertically or horizontally, with a total of 22 different angles that it can ‘click’ into. The hinge itself is made of magnesium.

Another area that sets this iPhone case apart from others we’ve seen is the extremely solid clip. The clip is made of cast aluminum. As you can see below, it’s solid.

Here’s what the clip looks like without the metal exposed for the demo.

Rio United also sells this case designed for a variety of other phones including the Motorola Q and various Blackberrys. They will also be introducing one for the i-Pod Touch shortly.

Rio United is currently quoting an initial FOB price of $14USD per case when purchased in quantities of 1,000. At quantities of 10,000 they are open to private branding and other mutually beneficial relationships.

The marketing and sales director’s name is Gary Lo and he can be contacted in Hong Kong at +852 2420 2027 or via email at sales@riounited.com. Everyone who we spoke with at Rio United spoke English well. However if you’d like some assistance with initial communications please feel free to contact us and we’ll lend a hand!
