It’s not too often that I’m able to talk about iPhone products on here… Which is slightly surprising since, well, everyone and their mother has one these days. Even I, who had the ghetto-est phone for the longest time, joined the club. Yesterday I broke my case on my phone. I happened to be looking around for a new case online tonight when the Vans iPhone case popped up on my Facebook feed courtesy of Chris Moeller. I had previously seen a photo of the case, but it was before I had an iPhone so it really didn’t apply to me so I guess I didn’t pay any attention to it. However, looking at it now I’ve discovered that this thing is rad as hell and, as of right now, super limited.
Looking at the case, it has the classic waffle sole with the Vans tag logo and a navy blue stripe around the outside. The details look clean and being as big of a fan of shoes as I’ve become the last few years, I’m loving this.
The price of the case runs for $28.00 on the Vans Webstore, but that’s where the good news ends. Like I stated earlier, these were made in a limited production. From what I’ve read on Offthewallsite.net, these weren’t even supposed to go into production and then they ended up making a limited run of them. After word caught on about them, they sold out faster than a bunch of girls buying Justin Bieber concert tickets. There has been word that more will be available in February, but it didn’t sound like that was a guarantee.
Unless you get extremely lucky and happen to find one at a Vans store, your best chance of getting one is on eBay, where the cases are going for over $100. No surprise there.
All I know is that I really hope Vans gets a fresh batch of these made since I’m on the list of people who want one.
You can find out more information and photos for the case on Offthewallsite.net.
