case-mate teams-up with Erik Arlen to launch a new line of cases

case-mate has tapped modern industrial designer Erik Arlen to create an edgy new line of mobile tech cases in time for holiday gift-giving. This line joins the newly-released Nordstrom Collections as the latest style-savvy offerings from case-mate. Best known for his innovative shoe designs for Nike, Arlen brings his industrial aesthetic to case-mate consumers with a collection that incorporates bold colors, textures and modular pieces.

The Erik Arlen for case-mate line includes four distinctive designs:
+ The Egg, $24.99, extruded dots of different heights simulate the distinctive look of an egg crate and create an interesting feel in hand. Available in red, white, blue and black.
+ Facets, $24.99, random intersections of varying-size triangles visually inspire while three different coatings provide interest to the touch. Available in red, white or black.
+ The Rubix, $34.99, four interlocking color blocks let consumers customize the look of their case.
+ Stacks, $34.99, six color bands lock together to create a case in endless color combinations.

The Erik Arlen for case-mate line is available only at www.case-mate.com. Joining Arlen's collection are the Nordstrom product lines from case-mate. The collections for men and women feature distinctive iPhone and iPad cases in fashionable colors and finishes. New eco-friendly packaging includes a seed and soil kit, allowing consumers to turn their garbage into a garden.
