A premium grip, and a holster, for your iPhone

Unless you carry a Bushmaster combat rifle around, the Sector 5 Black Ops iPhone cover from Element Case is likely to be the most polarising accessory you own.

The case is made from a resin called G10 and designed by a company best known for its premium handgun grips, VZ Grips.

The back of the case bears a checkering pattern common to handguns, and it has a rim of machined aluminium that is anodised with a non-reflective coating.

The designers even throw in a back knurled power button and "tactical holster" for affixing your phone to your belt.

As with many Element Case products, the price is high: $200. Element Case has made a business of creating expensive covers from premium and exotic materials, like its $200 Ronin case made with a bumper of resin-impregnated wood.

The weaponised iPhone case certainly courts controversy, but thanks to the remarkably grippy pattern on the Black Ops model, you may not give it up until they pry it from your cold, dead hands.
