Waterfield Designs has announced three new cases for the iPhone. The iPhone Smart Case is a thin case that features a smooth outer, rubberized textile grips on each side, and a multi-layered padding system with a high-impact rigid insert and scratch-free Ultrasuede lining to protect the iPhone. Available in six colors, it comes in three styles — Slip for slipping into a pocket, Flap for attaching to a strap, and Clip for clipping onto belts — and sells for $35-$39.
The iPhone Travel Case is a larger case, designed to carry the iPhone and its accessories together. Features include custom-sized, padded interior compartments, and self-locking zippers. It is available in six colors as well, comes in three sizes, and sells for $35-$39. The iPhone Suede Jacket is a basic Ultrasuede case that fits snugly on the iPhone and could double as a screen cleaner; it sells for $9. “I wanted a hard case with quick access that would slip easily into my pockets, but look simple and un-complicated,” explained owner Gary Waterfield. “For the Smart Case, we developed an intricate construction process to produce the clean, svelte look the case has.” All three cases are available now.

Waterfield Designs makes some fantastic products. One of their best attributes is their versatility. I now use my old iPod Gear Punch to carry my Wireless Mighty Mouse, Apple Remote, MacBook power adapter, USB flash drive, and security cable.

I agree with Galley - I have several Waterfield cases and they are all top-notch. My MBP, iPods, and DS Lite (and associated gear) are all protected by Waterfield. I will probably get the travel pouch and the suede jacket.

Just ordered the black flap case. I’m sure it will be as well made and great as my Waterfield laptop bag!
