CHILEWICH CASES FOR IPHONE

I love my iPhone, the only problem is that I hate the AT&T service in Los Angeles. This city is so strange, it's like a huge backlot studio, everything looks good from the outside but as soon as you need something it turns out to be fake or not working ...

So if my iPhone does have any signal in most of the places I go, I want it at least to look good ;-)

Those cases have been created by Chilewich in collaboration with Griffin.

Price: $39.99
