CloseCombine award-winning product designers with a revolutionary digital 3D tattoo process and the world’s best progressive artists and what do you get? You get Uncommon. A breakthrough in the future of personalization, Uncommon launches today empowering the world to turn its premium “blank canvas” accessories into self-expressive masterpieces. Their first blank canvas is the sleekest, most durable, twin-shot iPhone case on the market obsessively designed and engineered to make your “precious” look and feel its best. Tired of boring cases and cheap peely stickers? The future of customization is here.
Uncommon provides the canvas. You provide the inspiration.™
Born from the insight that everyone wants something unique in our ever-homogenizing world, but that most customization options are disappointing at best, Uncommon designed and developed their 3D TATT™(Thermo-Active Transdermal Technology) printing process and an uncommonly simple online customizer. The result is a new experience that allows limitless self-expression by wrapping whatever imagery you desire completely around the product embedding the ink deep into the product’s skin much like a tattoo. Permanent and personal.
Founded by designers to support and promote artists and the creative in everyone, Uncommon partners with over 150 of the world’s top progressive artists and brands including David Ellis, Grotesk, MQ, Phunk Studio, Juxtapoz, Slap and Thrasher. So whether you select, crop and scale art from the Uncommon gallery of renowned artists and brands or upload your own imagery, Uncommon will donate 2% of all profits towards the pursuit of the arts and arts education. Accomplished or aspiring designers and artists can also answer the call for entries by joining the Uncommon Community and submitting their art at a chance to be included in the galleries and earn royalties on every case sold with their artwork. Show the world how uncommon you really are.
“We were tired of playing by everyone else’s rules. It sucked. We created Uncommon so that we could do whatever we wanted. Now we are giving you the power to do whatever you want. That is Uncommon,” says Scott Wilson, Uncommon Brand Director and Co-Founder. “Constant compromise, design by committee and lame reasons on why you can’t do things ultimately lead to consumer dissatisfaction. We knew that offering the best technology, product design, customization experience and, most of all, following our instincts would lead to a strong creative community and brand love.”
Uncommon’s first products are the ultra-slim protective iPhone and iPod Touch Capsule Cases and Blackberry Storm 2 Trooper Case (all $39.95), with MacBook and Blackberry Curve cases, watches and other blank canvas objects soon to follow. Supporting our economy, products are customized in the USA and delivered to consumers fast. So go ahead, it’s easy to get Uncommon.

Thanks for the support Bill and Lou Reed. I have all of your albums. No, not you Bill.
As for finishes, we are looking at some other finishes. You want a more matte finish? Noted; we have had other people ask for that as well. Stay tuned as we roll out more options.
Love,

I just bought my case… Will there be any other shipping methods besides UPS down the line? 20$ was a little steep to Canada for a phone case..

Sooooper stoked about my new iPhone case. I discovered your site through Augustine Kofie’s website
- I fell in love with his art at a party, asked for his website and it led me to yours! My Baby Minto is on its way :)I absolutely love that I can have a gorgeous, unique iPhone case and support great artists and the art community all in one. I am definitely spreading the word.
