Notes
As with the other Eighth Generation sold cases, this case was designed by the collective and the artist. Orca (a.k.a. so-called "killer whale") design, Coast Salish and Northwest Coast formline style. The cellphone/mobile phone case is thermoplastic polymer with a maple face incised with a central formline graphic of an Orca with inset abalone. The Orca is placed within a split, half black pigmented maple background. An impressed pattern is visible around the sides of the case. Portals created in the case provide access to phone buttons and plugs.
E437491 and E437492 are identical.
