A Long Strange Trip

The chessboard is often used to symbolize a person’s internal struggle and attempt to find balance. After the last few years, we think a twisted checkerboard sounds about right for most of us. And, not only is the pattern appropriate for our attempts to find stability, the form is beautiful too. The Checkmate Black / Silver MagSafe® Compatible iPhone Case features a clear backdrop that incorporates the color of your device into the landscape of the game. With black squares alternating against the clear spaces, and a slow warp towards the camera lens, we think this design turned out to have levels of symbolism we didn’t initially imagine.
