The Cariband iPhone 5 case,
holds stuff.
The iPhone 5 can do amazing things, but it can’t hold even the smallest piece of paper. Cariband conveniently holds the things we carry day to day, like an ID, credit card and cash. By folding and inserting a business card, Cariband can hold your iPhone in portrait or landscape orientation. It conveniently holds things to your iPhone 5 or holds your iPhone 5 to things.
Cariband is designed to fit a 1/4" elastic band, which is not included but is easy to make. (However, the first 100 people to forward me their order confirmation and address will receive a free black elastic band). Instructions are included in the images below. A #61 (1/4" x 2" or 6mm x 50mm) rubber band also works, though it won't last as long.
The buttons are large and make the power and volume buttons easier to push, great for those with adult sized fleshy fingers.
Cariband is available in normal or polished. Only white and black are available in the normal finish (listed as white strong & flexible, black strong & flexible). It feels rough yet has more precise edges. A word of caution, the normal white tends to get dirty quickly, though it can be coated to prevent this (you will have to do this, check the forums on "post production techniques"). Polished is a smooth finish, which is available in all colors except black. It is difficult to tell the difference between normal and polished from a distance, but you can feel it and see it when very close.
