Nokia Cases | ukmade – UK Made Products

Your iPad, iPad mini, iPhone, Xperia, Kindle (or other mobile devices) are made in China by an American (or possibly Japanese or South Korean) company but you can save the day a bit by getting an iPhone and iPad case / cover that is made in the UK. You need to protect your delicate device and you might as well do it with a nice British made cover. To prop up your iPad, iPhone, etc. I also found some British made stands. These are some of the ones that I found on the net (prices, where given, will be plus P&P if you buy online and prices may have changed since I wrote this article).

Aquapac (waterproof bags and cases) make all of their submersible cases (the cases with the hard grey clamp on) in London. The rest of their products are either made in China or Taiwan. http://store.aquapac.net

Like the fabulous British made waterproof Aquapac above, the Phonehug has a lanyard but unlike the Aquapac it is not British made or waterproof but it does leave your phone uncovered so offers something different. Their website clearly states it’s a “UK Design”. A great idea I think but it’s a shame they did not manufacture in the UK. I first saw the Phonehug on this festival website. I have one of these and it is useful. Impressively the Phonehug fits over my iPhone 6S Plus in a bumper cover. On the leaflet the comes with the Phonehug it says the Phonehug is made in China. The rubber band across the bottom of the screen makes it difficult to swipe up and click some things, but at least it stops me dropping my phone by having it around my neck at home or secured around my belt loop when out and about!

John Bull Design Ltd, founded in 2014, EZL self adhesive phone stands are “Made in the UK”, as is their Plinth tablet stand – https://myplinth.co.uk

Urofoam (ukstressballs) in Cheshire, founded in 1988, make stressballs in England. Not just stress balls but stress balls in a wide variety of custom shapes. They sell these as a promotional items to companies for marketing campaigns. Urofoam say they are “the leading manufacturer and distributer of stressballs and foam balls in the western world…” Urofoam make foam footballs, indoor and outdoor foam sports balls, footbeds for shoes, car components, operating theatre equipment, medical furniture, playground equipment, baby changing mats, branded bar furniture, wheelchair cushions, mobile phone holders and specialised foam mouldings. At one point they also made shoes (as Softwalker Ltd from 2001 to closing the operation down in 2010). They say they “…produce everything in-house..”. They say that they are the only manufacturer of stress balls in Europe and they say “our stressballs are manufactured completely in the UK for maximum quality.”. Their factory is in Askam-in-Furness in Cumbria. They are also the maker of the gripsta mobile phone holder or stand, which they say is “completely UK manufactured”. They describe this as a fun and squidgy phone accessory that fits iPhone, HTC, Blackberry, Samsung, LG, Nokia and all other leading smartphone models. The Gripsta is a stand for your iPhone, other mobile phone or iPod made of foam (the same foam you’d find in a stress ball.). I should imagine it is great for watching films, as a mobile phone shoulder rest, and as a soft grip mobile phone holder, for use at home or in the office. In bright colours, Gripsta could also be used as a car mobile phone holder I think. It measures approximately 100mm x 70mm x 55mm and I imagine it would fit over any bumper and screen protector you might be using. On their website they say “Gripsta is a new gadget made in our own factory here in the UK” – http://ukstressballs.co.uk – http://gripsta.co.uk

Edge Beanbags (Muscava Limited trading as Edge Beanbags), beanbags, dog beds and Techbed mini beanbag technology stands, are made in the UK – you should check before buying as it is not clear from their website if some or possibly all of their products are made in Britain. On their Facebook of their Techbeds it says “Produced in Wokingham, Berkshire” and their German made van pictured on twitter has the “Made in Britain” logo on the livery. On their website they say “From the Techbed Mini right up to the large Home Cinema beanbags, we source all of our materials here in the UK and put each and every piece together ourselves” – https://www.edgebeanbags.co.uk

The Tube seat fabric is known as moquette, a mix of wool with a small percentage of polyester, and well known for its hard wearing, durable, fire resistant and not-showing-the-dirt qualities, is still woven in Yorkshire. You can buy dog collars and coats using the fabric at the London Transport Museum, as well as furniture, cushions, technology cases, bags, handbags, key rings, wash bags, etc made using moquette. These are made in England by Matt Fothergill using moquette fabric. Whilst a lot of stuff in the London Transport Museum Shop is made in China, they do stock a very good range of UK made products too – http://www.ltmuseumshop.co.uk/moquette.html
