crowdshare vs Thin iPhone Cases by Totallee

crowdfunding creators

15 years after the founding of Napster, we’re still not sure how we should distribute and consume creative content on the web. At crowdshare, we think we've finally found a solution. We think people are willing to support the things they love, and we’re going to let them.

crowdshare is an open community where users can share their digital creations and receive feedback, tips and donations from other users. Users are able to consume (download, watch, listen) and share content freely — without cost of membership or use.

Our larger vision for what crowdshare can be is a digital market for the 21st century. When we say digital we mean — not eBay or Etsy — but a market for digital content. Of course, the major distinction, outside of us not distributing anything tangible, is that we offer content for free and are purely donation based.

Super thin and almost invisible phone cases.

Matthias' goal was to create and grow a portfolio of e-commerce consumer product brands that put great care into the products they sell and the people they sell them to. He realized that the Internet allows for new companies to create higher quality products at lower prices and offer better service by selling directly to customers. For the first brand, totallee, he was looking for a way to elevate a boring but popular consumer product. When totallee started in 2013 most iPhone cases were very bulky, cheaply made or poorly designed. Most companies catered to people looking for extreme protection or cases with fun designs. Matthias identified a market gap for more refined and stylistically discrete cases. So totallee was built around the idea of creating a product for people looking for an understated, no-nonsense, quality phone case. A simple and well-made product. Nothing more and nothing less.
Specifically, our cases help with:
- adding grip to your phone to make it less slippery
- adding extra scratch and bump protection without adding bulk
- adding a touch of understated color to personalize your device
