Dream Big. Or Else.

As a little kid, what did you dream to be? Astronaut? Dancer? Cowboy? Robber? I, for decades, have wanted to be an airplane pilot. I blame it on the movie “Top Gun,” which was clearly the pinnacle of Tom Cruise’s life and career.
Blackbox Case has formed as a product of friendships and, well, dreams. We dream of being artisans, giving back to our community, changing the industry norm, pushing wood to a new and unseen level of perfection, creating something new, employing someone who is down-and-out, building a children’s school in Abu Dhabi.
…There is one caveat to your dreams, though. You have to risk that which you fear most: failure. So we set before you our risk. We have been working so, so hard to perfection. There are jobs that have been quit, money invested, and a few cuts and criticisms along the way.
We encourage you to follow our journey and to start your own. What do you want most? Start a business? That pretty girl on the subway? Ride a wild ostrich? Believe you want it and do it. We promise, the freedom is wonderful.
Welcome to the family, and meet the new Blackbox Case.

Got the case I ordered and gave it to my daughter last night as a Christmas gift and she absolutely loved it, I knew after initially seeing it on line that I could not go wrong ordering it for her, I was correct. Thanks for the great product & I plan on ordering more for myself and others, great product!
Merry Christmas to the BlackBox Team and congratulations on the development and implementation of a great product!

Every year he says, “What do you want for Christmas honey?” with that expectant grin. Every year I say, “Oh I don’t know. You decide.” A few days ago, I got the look again, but this time I had an answer. Thank you for my Christmas gift, these are stunning and probably my best accessory to date.
