Montblanc iPhone Pouch is Pure, Understated Style
August 16, 2010 | Andy Boxall
I have always used a pouch-style case for my iPhone, purely because I like the naked look but still require a degree of protection while the phone is in my pocket or bag. My current pouch is a FoofPod, which has served me very well, but I often glance jealously at my wife’s official BlackBerry pouch for her 8520 Curve, as it’s so good-looking.
However, if this new Montblanc pouch adorns my iPhone instead, I have a feeling the jealous looks will be reversed. Montblanc are best known for their excellent pens and watches, however they also have a range of very high quality leather goods, of which this Meisterstück iPhone case is the latest addition.
The advert describes it as being made from black leather with a velvety-soft lining to protect the phone, plus the familiar white star-shaped Montblanc logo can be found on the base of the pouch. What the advert doesn’t mention is what iPhone it’s for, as although we can’t see many companies fashioning a case for the 3G or 3GS anymore, it does rather look like one poking out the top in the picture.
The Montblanc case doesn’t appear on the company’s website as yet, but there is a chance it may be for sale in a Montblanc boutiques, however there is no mention of price for this little gem. Bear in mind that their Meisterstück wallets are pretty much all £150/$235-plus, so it’s unlikely this will be cheap! However in this case, it just adds to its desirability.

This is a must have for me. I have loved MB ever since high school in Europe. They are expensive but high quality.
I contacted a boutique here in Chicago and they stated the case is for the 3G and 3GS phones and they are not aware of one for the 4. Cost was $195 approximately for the case and they seem to sell out often.
Excellent stuff Guy, thanks for letting us know. $200 is about where I expected it to be. Are you going to get one?
The case has been on sale in the Mont Blanc boutique at Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 (and i think in Terminal 3 as well), for the past 2 weeks. The price is £100.
I just bought this case. It perfectly fits the iPhone 4, and the beautiful simplicity of the lightweight case is phenomenal!
hi.. i also look out for the MB case for the i4… / does it really fit good? could you send me a photo if its not too mucj trouble for you? thx a lot… // h.bramsiepe@vistapark.de
iPhone 4 is not yet release around here (Dubai) but I couldn't resist this case, I bought already and waiting for the phone to be released (180$ around here).
$200USD!? I got the same case for $5 on Canal St.
Jason, you didn't get the same case, you for a knock-off. There's a clear difference.
well, i just saw the white one in HongKong. it's around 1460 HKD.
They are out for black one so i gues i'l just get the white one. It actually looks really really nice.
I'm gonna go get it tonight

These are pictures of the black case.
I have the white ones now, but i cant seem to find pictures online
in my opinion, white one does look better with a more classy looook.
Also got the (limited) white version from germany. i love it and fits perfectly well with the iphone4.
it's better then the LV-Cases or other luxury cases. if someone's here looking for them in berlin…go to the famous KaDeWe. there are still 2 cases left. hope i could help…
