CaseLabs ?!

Domo · August 11, 2018

CaseLabs died just awhile ago.

We are very sad to announce that CaseLabs and its parent company will be closing permanently. We have been forced into bankruptcy and liquidation. The tariffs have played a major role raising prices by almost 80% (partly due to associated shortages), which cut deeply into our margins. The default of a large account added greatly to the problem. It hit us at the worst possible time. We reached out for a possible deal that would allow us to continue on and persevere through these difficult times, but in the end, it didn’t happen.

We are doing our best to ship as many orders as we can, but we won’t be able to ship them all. Parts orders should all ship, but we won’t be able to fulfill the full backlog of case orders. We are so incredibly sorry this is happening. Our user community has been very devoted to us and it’s awful to think that we have let any of you down. There are over 20,000 of you out there and we are very grateful for all the support we have received over the years. It was a great journey that we took together and we’re thankful that we got that chance.

We understand that there will likely be a great deal of understandable anger over this and we sincerely apologize. We looked at every option we had. This is certainly not what we envisioned. Some things were just out of our control. We thought we had a way to move forward, but it failed and we disabled the website from taking any more orders.

It was a privilege to serve you and we are so very sorry things turned out this way.

I kinda knew this would come one day.They are very pricey and just now offered tempered glass on one case.A 300 dollar up case with a acrylic window,Zero dust filters and no usb type c is insane to me.I could get a case with all that from any known big case name companies for 200 or less.Some people did like their cases and bought them but most the price was too out of their budgets.I don't know why hes blaming tariffs when he was a american company in cali,Was he buying all his aluminum from over seas to get it cheap as he could ?For a while he had a 4 to 6 week lead time on cases which means to me he couldn't keep up with orders aka management problems.
