introduction
The Space Case is a modular iPhone case that doubles as functional storage. It maintains the look and feel of a slim, premium case, but includes a built-in compartment where users can store essentials such as lip balm, mints, or medication. It turns the phone into a discreet, always-available extra pocket.
current phone case landscape
The phone case market is oversaturated, but almost every option is limited to protection and style. Few cases provide any added utility. The Space Case is different because it solves a real problem—lack of storage space—while remaining sleek and pocket-friendly.
competition
The only direct competitor is Rhode, which makes a case designed specifically to hold lip gloss. While that idea is unique, it’s tied to a single use. The Space Case, by contrast, uses a modular system that works with a variety of small items, making it far more versatile and appealing to a wider customer base.
marketing
Our marketing strategy focuses on partnerships with large businesses and event organizers. The Space Case works perfectly as an exclusive item at concerts, sporting events, or corporate activations. Imagine UFC handing out cases with a branded accessory inside, or Rolling Loud distributing cases with exclusive festival items. This approach makes the case both a useful product and a high-impact marketing tool for partners.

next steps
We are seeking $40,000 to fund the creation of injection molds and higher-grade prototypes. This will allow us to manufacture 15 professional prototypes to send directly to potential partners such as UFC, Rolling Loud, celebrities, and cannabis retailers. If one of these partners wants to move forward, the cost to produce an initial batch of 50 units will be $15,000, giving us a clear path from prototype to production.
investing
An investment of $40,000 will be used to cover CAD design and the production of 15 functional prototypes. These prototypes will be used to secure client deals. We already have verbal interest—for example, UFC has said they want to give the first 50 attendees at an upcoming Los Angeles event a Space Case at the door. Once a client moves forward, investors will begin to see returns as production scales.

when will you receive your $40,000 back
If the deal with the ufc goes through for the month of December you can expect to receive your 60,000 back because we are going to sell them 2,000 phone cases which gives a total profit of $68,000. Again profit of each phone case sold is $34 and we are selling 2,000 phone cases to the ufc. The ufc has signed a document saying they will move forward if we are all able to produce 1,000 phone cases.
