However when I got ahold of <a href="http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG450/125">Magpul’s Executive Field Case</a> for the iPhone 4 I had to give them some credit. While I love a naked iPhone, working in the shop can be a bit dirty and is not the safest environment for a bare glass back. But really, most of the cases on the market are cheap (and for good reason), or too expensive with poor functionality.</p> <p>This case has the best feel and fit of any case out there, it is surprisingly slim. They use their proprietary polymer that feels perfect in the hand, hard yet soft and grippy. The quality is top notch and the design is well thought out, buttons are covered and feel great. And best of all, its made in the US.</p> <p><a href="http://store.magpul.com/prod_detail_list/125">MAGPUL</a></p>http://paulisabellajournal.tumblr.com/post/41799680968http://paulisabellajournal.tumblr.com/post/41799680968Tue, 29 Jan 2013 14:22:16 -0500magpulexecutivefieldcaseiphoneiphonecase<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me7ztgRQPk1qcr4weo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://paulisabellajournal.tumblr.com/post/36874296249http://paulisabellajournal.tumblr.com/post/36874296249Fri, 30 Nov 2012 06:30:22 -0500designwoodworkingfurniture designcraftstool<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcikckSEqg1qcr4weo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcikckSEqg1qcr4weo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Hook system prototype.
