About Us
Just hours after finally upgrading from his ancient Motorola RAZR to a brand new iPhone, our dad dropped it and cracked the screen. After paying the lofty $100 fee to get it fixed, he opted for a case. He didn’t want a bulky, everything-proof case that cost an arm and a leg and prohibited you from pulling it out of your pocket, but he wanted more protection than slim cases could offer. So with no other options, he decided to make a case that he couldn’t drop.
With the slimmest protective case he could find, John secured a finger loop with some good ‘ole duct tape and headphone wire to the back of it. From that initial ‘eureka’ moment, the first Loopy Case was born.
Loopy Cases has grown and evolved into what it is today with the help of his three sons (two from Purdue, one from IU), and the awesome Loopy user base (we constantly ask for feedback and conduct surveys). With smartphones getting larger every year and smartphone repair shops popping up on every corner, it’s no wonder that people need a new type of case.
From the basement of their house, to the first office location (Loopy HQ 2.0), and now onto Loopy 3.0, we have had tremendous growth as a team and company all thanks to our amazing customers!
We devote extensive time ensuring our cases meet high quality standards. Our commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of our cases, from design to production. Customer surveys help us determine desired colors and designs. Our team of experienced designers work tirelessly to bring innovative and trend-setting designs to our customers.
