It ain't easy...

Making the thinnest case in the world is an incredible challenge, much more so than regular cases you’re used to seeing.

In fact, our Bare Naked cases are so thin, 0.35mm to be exact, they require plenty of human input in its manufacturing process since modern machines can’t handle it with enough care to produce a flawless case.

First, a mould

Moulds start life as boring slabs of metal that'll be subjected to loads of beating very soon, turning it into something that looks a little more pretty.

Here's a finished mould

After careful machining with CNC machines that are so precise, people would've called them Gods 10 years ago, we get this - a "dummy", both figuratively and literally.

Remember what this is called, 'cos we'll get back to this in a minute.

The "base" mould

To make our Bare Naked case, we need two moulds:

the dummy, and the base.

The base is where the liquid resin is placed, and before it has time to solidify,
the dummy is pressed down on it to shape the resin, matching whatever device the case is made for.

How Bare Naked is Made

Placing a dummy, & base mould into a jig that will make our cases.

Used base moulds

These moulds have reached the end of their lives, not 'cos the model they're made for has gone obsolete, but because with each repeated use, its measurements change in microns.

So to ensure every case is a perfect fit for your device, we have to make new moulds on top of cleaning existing ones regularly. Oh, these moulds aren't cheap to make too...

and how many moulds do we use for one production run?

All these "spent" moulds will be cleaned, recycled, and made into new metal blocks to make more moulds.

Quality Control

Before mass production, the initial run is checked by eagle-eyed QC experts to reveal any defects with the molds or resin.

It is a painstaking process that is repeated at the end of production for retail-ready cases.

Our quality checks are so stringent...

60% Fail QC

From here, discarded cases are recycled into grade B resin, and sold to other case manufacturers where "same thing on amazon for 2 bucks stuff" come from.

Recycled resin deforms more easily, and is overall less durable.

Finishing Touches

We pay attention to detail - the manufacturing process of our Bare Naked cases create "overhangs" at the molding lines, and we have to get rid of them. Problem is, our Bare Naked cases are far too thin for machines to clean up this mess.

So what do we do?

We trim them by hand
