About the original
The Incase Bling Logo iPhone 5 Case is a hardshell snap case for the iPhone 5 with a metallic electroplated finish and a raised Supreme logo set with clear rhinestones running vertically down the back, released in gold and silver colorways. Incase was founded in 1997 in San Francisco by Amir Salehi, Vahe Baghdasaryan, and Arman Javid as a Mac-accessory brand and is a long-running Apple-focused case maker. The SS13 Supreme collab released May 9, 2013 as part of Supreme's Bling Box Logo capsule, which also included a hoodie, tee, and sticker set referencing 1990s jewelry motifs. The rhinestone Supreme logo and electroplated metallic finish are exclusive to this release; the iPhone 5 form factor has since been obsoleted.
About Incase
Incase is an American tech-accessories company founded in 1997 in San Francisco, California. The company built its reputation on protective cases, sleeves, and bags engineered around the Apple ecosystem, with early MacBook sleeves and iPod cases that Apple stocked at retail through the 2000s. The line now spans backpacks, camera bags, briefs, and travel goods aimed at urban commuters and creatives. Incipio Technologies acquired Incase in 2015. The brand's Apple-adjacent industrial design (molded foam, ripstop nylons, clean silhouettes) set a template that most laptop-accessory makers still work inside. Supreme has collaborated with Incase on co-branded bags and tech accessories.
