GILD Design has collaborated with Kumamoto Prefecture's sales manager "Kumamon" and the racing team "La Bellezza" to produce a duralumin-machined iPhoneX case and business card holder.
■[Kumamon] The mascot character of the Kumamoto Prefectural Government's PR campaign "Kumamoto Surprise" since 2010. Since September 30, 2011, he has been traveling to the Kansai and Kanto regions as Kumamoto Prefecture's sales manager, conveying the charms of Kumamoto Prefecture to the rest of Japan.
■[La Bellezza] In addition to being a dealer of Italian motorcycles and producing and selling original motorcycle parts, As "Kumamon & La Bellezza Speed", they are also active in the motorcycle racing world such as Suzuka 8 Endurance Road Race.
[Kumamon model] The coloring of the image of Kumamon. It is a combination of red LCD and black back. Kumamon's cute red cheeks are expressed by adopting the "double anodizing" process, which is different from ordinary anodizing.
[Bike model] Black body with red bolts to express Kumamon color. Laser engraved "DUCATI 1199 Panigale", the machine of La Bellezza Speed & Kumamon, which participated in the 2013 Suzuka 8 Hours, on the case.
We sometimes get an opinion from a customer that "all of GILD Design's cases have 4 corners and they don't look different from each other".
When a smartphone falls, it usually tilts and falls from one of the four corners. Commonly used "Aluminum case with same thickness in all four corners" may be deformed by the shock of dropping. Our case is designed by stress analysis by 3D CAD, and above all, by actual drop test many times, and it can be used without deformation even if it is dropped many times.
The design of a "case that is easy to use and protects," ended up with that shape.
The GILD Design case is not fancy looking, and is a bit of a hassle since it is bolted on and off. Even so, we prioritized "stress-free operability" and "a structure that can withstand accidental drops and refraction loads". We want to protect your iPhone for at least 2 years even if your GILD Design case is falling apart.
We have designed the part where the bumper touches the finger so that there is no uncomfortable feeling. You can also operate the frequently used swipe smoothly. We have completed many prototypes to make it easy to hold and comfortable to wear on iPhoneX. The lightning cable, volume buttons, and all other parts are designed so as not to affect the operability of the device. Protects the delicate lens surface as much as possible. It is designed so that the camera part does not touch directly. A rubber O-ring is included to prevent the bolt from loosening. Attaching it together with the screw will eliminate looseness. Collar bolt set (sold separately) (Model no: GI-305) also has the same bolt size, so it can be used for iPhoneX compatible cases. The iPhoneX case also comes standard with a strap hole. A strap can be attached to the bottom left of the front so it won't get in the way during calls. You can put it in your pocket smoothly. The cradle (Apple stock Lightning USB cable compatible) is also compatible with the iPhoneX. Can be used without removing the case.
[About Aluminum Back Protection Panel] This set includes an aluminum back protection panel with a laser engraved illustration of Kumamon. The panel can be installed and removed according to time, place, and occasion.
[About the wireless charger] ・For solid bumpers It is possible to charge the battery with a Qi wireless charger (Note 1), and it is not possible to charge the battery when the aluminum panel is attached to the bumper. (Please charge with the stock Lightning cable that comes with your iPhone.) ・When an aluminum panel is installed on a solid bumper Cannot be charged with Qi compatible wireless chargers. (Please charge with the stock Lightning cable that comes with your iPhone.)
[About WIFI, 3G, 4G, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC] ・About FaceID → We have confirmed that there is no problem by registering and unlocking with face. ・About ApplePay → No problem in normal use.(Note 2) ・About Wifi → No problem in normal use.(Note 2) ・About 3G → There is no problem in normal use.(Note 2) If aluminum panel is installed, there is an influence of radio wave interference, but there is no problem when receiving 4G. ・About 4G → There is no problem in normal use.(Note 2) ・About Bluetooth → There is no problem in normal use.(Note 2) ・About GPS → There is no problem in normal use.(Note 2)
[About GILD design] Based on the concept of "serious protection for smartphones", we produce aluminum cases machined from solid high-strength duralumin used for aircraft and automobile parts. We produce "Made in Japan" products by unifying all the parts used for the case, such as materials, tools, and packaging, with those made in Japan. The parent company of GILD Design is a company that designs and manufactures parts for motorcycle racing. For racing, we try to reduce the weight to the limit while maintaining the necessary strength. Smartphone cases are designed by using the same technology, keeping necessary things and cutting unnecessary things. The result is a functional beauty and a design with no waste. With the technology cultivated through the design of racing parts, we are working to create products that turn customer dissatisfaction into satisfaction.
