Incase

Video 2: Create. Express. Protect

The second installment of our video series continues to chronicle a group of friends in New York City. Once again, our protagonists count on the protection offered by Incase products as they use the video feature of the iPhone 3GS to document their journey from Williamsburg to the Lower East Side across the Brooklyn Bridge.

The video features the songs “Devil’s Trident (The Big Pink Specialization Reality)” and “Lights Go Down” by Telepathe from their album Dance Mother. And with that, we present Experiment No. 2: Moped Ride. Look for the final short on 3/22.

Incase and Arkitip Present Project Space

As a means of bringing our collective creative pursuits into an experiential environment, Arkitip and Incase have partnered to open Project Space, a unique setting for exhibitions, performances and installations. Along with original artwork, Project Space will support a limited range of curated products that will rotate based on availability. This will include all special project endeavors from each brand. Project Space stays true to Arkitip’s founding principles: supporting the arts, promoting freedom of expression and making art affordable and accessible.

We are proud to announce our first exhibition at Project Space with Parra.

32-year-old Dutch illustrator and designer Parra has decorated the Amsterdam underground with his playful, bizarre graphics that span a broad base of themes, from introspective to audacious and bawdy. The mostly self-taught artist seems to channel a vintage form with curves, yet with a decidedly modern, post-pop approach. Parra’s vibrant and often humorous images feature a distinctive, hand-drawn feel, and can be seen printed on various exhibitions around the globe—club flyers, record sleeves and billboards—as well as silk screened on tees and sweaters. His work can also be found in the second installment of Curated by Arkitip, adorning the Incase signature MacBook Sleeve and iPhone Slider Case.

Parra’s characteristic style has also extended into his music career with electro-rock group Le Le. Their most popular track “Breakfast” features Parra’s typography and imagery set in motion to the song’s pulsating beats and comical (and slightly naughty) lyrics.

New and Upgraded: Neoprene Sleeve Plus

The next evolution of our signature Neoprene Sleeve is now available exclusively through our webstore and at the Apple Store. Available for all models in the MacBook family, our Neoprene Sleeve Plus has been redesigned with a new material set and upgraded safeguards while maintaining the trusted and timeless silhouette that complements the notebook it protects.

On the inside, our Neoprene Sleeve Plus features a new protective interior border that runs the length of seams, giving it added structure and providing increased protection to the periphery of your notebook. Additionally, our signature faux-fur lining now extends slightly above the protective border on the zippered edge of the Neoprene Sleeve Plus, providing an extra layer of interior protection to the outward-facing edge of your MacBook.

The Neoprene Sleeve Plus is constructed of a new material set that includes a lighter weight, more durable Neoprene and a redesigned perforated foam spine with a durable mesh overlay. Details like our heavy-duty zipper pulls have been reshaped to reflect the rounded design language of the Sleeve and subtle branding elements have been refined to be flush to the silhouette for a clean, minimal look.

Check out the new Neoprene Sleeve Plus in our webstore and look forward to more colorways in the near future.

Create. Express. Protect.

We teamed up with film collective Ghost Robot to create a series of three video shorts filmed in and around New York City. Centered around a group of friends whose leisurely pursuits involve creative experiments with the iPhone 3GS, the buoyant bunch relies on the protection of Incase products to give them the freedom to push the limits of iPhone video experimentation.

Experimental noise pop group Telepathe provides the soundtrack for the segments and makes a cameo in the final video of the series. Featured here is the song “Can’t Stand It” from their album Dance Mother.

Without further ado, we present to you Experiment No. 1: Rocket Launch. Be on the lookout for the second short dropping 3/15.
