Felony Case sells colorful, protective iPhone cases, including MagSafe versions, to iPhone users both directly and through retailers, and its founder reported over half a million dollars in revenue in 2018 in an April 2019 founder interview.
What it sells and how it charges
The official website presents the line as colorful and protective, with MagSafe-compatible versions. The cases are sold directly and through retailers. As checked on 2026-10-01, the shop advertises free shipping on orders over $50.
How it started
In a founder interview, the founder said he started the brand in 2012 by hand-making spiked and studded iPhone cases on a couch in his living room. A separate founder account traces Felony Case from a small Etsy shop to a brand sold by large retailers and through several online channels.
The numbers
The revenue figure is over half a million dollars in revenue in 2018. It is a yearly, founder-reported figure stated in an April 2019 founder interview, not a current income claim.
The one-person classification rests on the founder’s description of himself as a solo founder who, for the most part, still works as the only employee. In another founder account, he says he is the only full-time employee.
That structure includes outside support. The founder said key aspects of growth were outsourced to freelancers, assistants and contractors, while shipping for online orders was outsourced to a third-party fulfilment partner. It is therefore a one-person full-time structure without implying that the founder performs every task. The available material does not state the starting cost.
What stands out
- The product line connects the original hand-made spiked and studded cases with the colorful, protective and MagSafe-compatible range shown on the official website.
- The recorded channels include Felony Case’s Shopify website, Etsy, Amazon, wholesale to retailers and brand collaborations.
- Outsourcing is part of the operating model: external specialists support key tasks, while a third party handles shipping for online orders.
