There’s no question that CaseScoop has reviewed some fantastic cases in the last year so we decided we wanted to dig a little deeper this year and see just how some of our favorite case manufacturers make their cases, with a specific focus on the products they use to individually craft each case and why those products are important. FIRST UP: Sena!

Sena

Created in 1999 by gadget enthusiasts, Sena Cases aims to produce cases that are trendy, sleek, and completely function-accessible and customized entirely by the customer. Sena cases are handcrafted by leather artisans in Turkey using full grain genuine Italian and Turkish calfskin Napa leathers. Sena cases are offered in classic smooth leather or patterned leather such as croco, pebble, perforated or vincado in a variety of colors. Since Sena cases are made from full grain genuine leather, the cases adjust and soften to develop a perfect fit to the device after a short break-in period. The leather is unique as it begins to form and customize to the owner’s individual usage habits. Sena knows good leather, and believes in the variations of markings that come with their leather, considering marks and scars a necessity in distinguishing real, quality leather from imitation, and deems these “imperfections” as genuine properties of the leather that enhances the overall quality aesthetic of their cases. Offering a large variety of case designs for their vast selection of devices, Sena allows unique customization options so that each case is crafted just as their customers wish.

As CaseScoop is stationed in Southern California, we’re faced with scary, destructive weather. With torrential downpours sparking the onset of severe flooding (and even tornado warnings!! …What?!), Southern Californians are scrambling for safety from high winds, potential mudslides, and downpours that are causing the shutting down of major freeways, businesses, and campuses.  This, of course, is not to say that the rest of the country isn’t also dealing with hazardous weather!-But because us Southern Californians rarely deal with this type of upset, we’d like to extend our best to all of you readers struggling with weather or health issues during this ‘09/’10 flu season!

Just after the new year Noreve released a new selection of leather: The Illumination Selection.

This selection is quite unique to Noreve’s other competing leather selections, as the colors include Onyx, Maïa Gold, and Platinum, diverging from their usual straight-forward colors. Though I’ve not yet received these cases to review, it’s clear there will be a bit of a demographic switch in terms of customer satisfaction with this new selection just based on the couple pictures I’ve seen of the cases. I think this selection debut has potential to reach larger audiences, as the glossy finish may spark the attention of perhaps younger customers who may not have been otherwise interested in Noreve’s competing leather selections.
