Loading ...Forgive me, but calling your company “Belch” and then releasing premium iPhone cases just doesn’t feel right. Still, if you’re in the market for a carbon-fiber - and I mean real carbon fiber, not just some plastic mock-up - case for your precious Apple cellphone, then Belch Co. will probably have to be your port of call. Weighing a mere 8g, the case is hand-made from 100-percent aerospace grade carbon-fiber and lined with neoprene.
Cutouts for the screen, home button, docking and headphone ports, side controls and camera mean the handset shouldn’t need to leave its super-strong sheath, and with it measuring 119 x 64 x 15mm it only adds a few milimeters to each dimension of the iPhone itself (which is 115 x 61 x 11.6mm).
The Belch Co. carbon-fiber iPhone case is available now, priced at $79.99. The company is also apparently busy crafting cases for the MacBook Air out of the same material.

IPhne looks well in its own casing. No offense… but such a sweet and good lookig fone looks ugly now…

This case looks pretty strong and seems that it would be good for people on the job site. We’ve also seen this Armor iPhone case that seems to do the job… check it out:

They just need to add a round cut out for the apple logo in the back and lower the price somewhere around $50-$60. Then I would get one.

The Belch is a wet layup and this is not done in the aircraft industry. The only true aircraft grade carbon fiber is a pre-preg and this is cured in a autoclave with vacumm and presure like the ones made by http://www.iflakjacket.com
It does have the cut out for the apple logo in the back but it is worth the 89.00 or lower on e-bay if you can get one before someone else bids.
