CalypsoCrystal, makers of the CrystalDock for iPod and iPhone, is now taking backing pledges for its new CalypsoCase. This high-end sleeve-style case is made from multiple materials, including a titanium inner closure, a premium Italian leather exterior, a specially designed inner lining fabric that prevents the device from sliding out, and a decorative outer ring made from silver, gold, or platinum. For a pledge of $70, customers will receive a special backer’s only edition of the CalypsoCase with their name laser engraved on the case; other pledge values range from $5 to $2,500, the latter of which includes two CalypsoCases, two CrystalDocks, and hand delivery by the designer, with dinner included. Assuming the company meets its funding goal, the CalypsoCase will retail for $130.
