Australia’s Apple Store, Bondi Features Exclusive Incase Product

To celebrate the opening of the newest Apple Store in Sydney, Australia, Incase has created a spirited line of products available exclusively at the Apple Store, Bondi.

The iconic blue waters of famed surf destination Bondi Beach take shape on signature Incase forms. The 15″ MacBook Sleeve and Slider Case for iPhone 3GS/3G both feature a stylized gradient wave pattern and are available now in limited-release at the Apple Store, Bondi.

iPad Has Arrived and Incase Has You Covered

Whether you are using your iPad on the go or need a case that can secure your device in handheld and desktop scenarios, Incase has a protective solution for you. We’ve taken some of our most popular case styles and custom fit them for iPad as well as designed a number of new products specifically for iPad.

Our Grip Protective Cover for iPad is a durable, silicone rubber case that features two contoured rails on its back panel to provide you with enhanced grip and comfort when holding your iPad in landscape position.

Our Protective Cover features the same durable, silicone rubber construction and a flat back surface for added stability when using your iPad on a desktop. Both the Grip Protective Cover and Protective Cover feature custom cutouts for direct access to all iPad features and come packaged with a viewing stand for your iPad.

The signature Incase Neoprene Sleeve is now available in two styles for iPad: Neoprene Sleeve Plus and Neoprene Slip Sleeve Plus. A protective interior border runs the length of the Neoprene Sleeve Plus’ seams, giving it added structure and providing increased protection to the periphery of your iPad.

The Neoprene Slip Sleeve Plus features a slip entry opening for easy device access while maintaining complete iPad coverage. Both the Neoprene Sleeve Plus and Neoprene Slip Sleeve Plus feature our signature faux-fur lining for scratch protection and come packaged with a viewing stand for your iPad.

Created specifically for iPad, our Convertible Book Jacket is a multifunctional portfolio-style case that secures your iPad during travel and when on display in landscape position. Opening the Convertible Book Jacket takes it from carrying case to viewing stand with multiple angles in one easy step.

For a more robust carrying solution, the Nylon Travel Kit Plus provides organization and complete protection for your iPad and accessories with its durable nylon construction, three-sided zippered closure, ample storage pockets and a plush faux-fur lined iPad compartment. The Nylon Travel Kit Plus comes packaged with a viewing stand designed with a cord management feature for your iPad.

Our popular chargers have been refreshed to work with iPad. Featuring a powerful 2-amp output USB port, both the Combo Charger and Car Charger are Works with iPad, iPhone and iPod certified by Apple, ensuring that your Apple portables stay powered up no matter where your travels take you.

These products represent the first wave of Incase iPad protective solutions available now in our webstore and at the Apple Store. Keep an eye out for more to come in the near future.

Available Now: Evan Hecox for Curated by Arkitip

Artist and designer Evan Hecox displays his fascination with the urban landscape on Incase products for the sixth installment of Curated by Arkitip. Available today, the Evan Hecox series has been issued in three limited editions: New York, London and Tokyo. As the project’s first artist to present a series of products, Hecox brings to life nontraditional depictions of the famed cities and their associated national emblems on our signature MacBook Sleeve and iPhone Slider Case.

“Curated by Arkitip is a platform for Incase and Arkitip to bring artist-driven products to Apple users worldwide,” said Damon Way, Incase Chief Brand Officer. “With Evan, we wanted to introduce a multi-piece offering that carried a regional theme focusing on major metropolitan cities where Apple has established flagship retail presence. The three urban centers chosen—New York, London and Tokyo—hold iconic status worldwide, so the result is a compelling series of region-themed products with global appeal.”

Drawing inspiration from the complexity of the modern metropolis, Hecox’s stylistic approach is based on the process of amplification as it affects form and color: breaking down the image, removing certain elements and emphasizing others. In his original artistry for Curated by Arkitip, Hecox filters the mundane into captivating illustrations of New York, London and Tokyo, seemingly filled with narratives beyond the images themselves, and applies them to MacBook Sleeves. The Hecox Slider Cases complement the three Sleeves, bearing instantly recognizable national symbols of the three cities. Hecox re-imagined the symbols through his stylistic approach, resulting in artistic interpretations that are both familiar and new.

Hecox has found success both as a commercial and fine artist recognized for his unique stylistic approach that blends photography, hand drawn illustration and graphic design. With an extensive portfolio that includes skateboard graphics, illustrations, books, television ads and fine art, Hecox has been exhibited in galleries across the globe, including Los Angeles, Sydney, London and Tokyo.

The Hecox products for Curated by Arkitip are available now in our webstore, Arkitip, better boutiques and Apple Store locations worldwide.

Visit the Evan Hecox Project page for more information about the products for Curated by Arkitip as well as a special video featuring an inside look at Evan Hecox’s creative process.
