Seagull Co., Ltd., which develops leather products and smartphone accessories in its own workshop in Okayama Prefecture (Representative Director: Shogo Egawa), has launched "CAMHIDE," a smartphone case that maximizes the inherent beauty of leather by intentionally not providing a camera hole, on the crowdfunding service Makuake.

Background of Development: Why eliminate the camera hole?

The "protruding camera" is a symbol of modern smartphones. While convenient, it was also a factor that disrupted the design continuity in folio cases. "CAMHIDE" elevates the smartphone case from a "digital gadget" to a "refined leather item" by intentionally covering the camera with leather. It proposes a new lifestyle that makes even the series of actions of quickly detaching it using MagSafe only when you want to take a photo look smart.

Using the camera is for limited times. Because we live in an era where it can give the unnecessary impression of "being photographed."

Having a camera hole disrupts the design. Even though it's a folio case, it somehow strongly retains the impression of a smartphone. The difference in impression is obvious at a glance.

Quickly detach it with the MagSafe function when taking photos.

Product Features

① Seamless, single-piece leather design

The camera hole is eliminated from the back. You can enjoy the texture of the finest "Tochigi Leather" without interruption, enhancing the beauty of the owner's hands, from business to casual settings. It also serves to prevent scratches on the lens.

② Smooth and strong attachment/detachment with MagSafe x proprietary mechanism

In addition to MagSafe's magnetic force, we developed "Magsupport," a proprietary attachment that prevents lateral displacement. This allows for easy detachment during shooting while ensuring stability during use.

③ Versatility for iPhone and Android, regardless of model

Not only iPhones, but also Android users, who previously had fewer options, can use it for a long time across model changes.
