SCR-578 "Gibson Girl" Survival Radio Style Tough Magnetic Phone Cases – iPhone Compatible
This design is inspired by the WWII-era SCR-578 “Gibson Girl” survival radio carried by military aircrew. The phone case features a high-detail, photo-realistic printed design depicting the radio’s external layout, markings, and surface details, with minor visual adjustments made to suit the rectangular format of a phone case. The artwork is printed onto the case surface and is not a raised, textured, etched, or engraved finish.
The original “Gibson Girl” radio was a hand-cranked portable survival radio designed for use in lifeboats. It was named for its distinctive curved shape, which resembled the illustrated “Gibson Girls” created by Charles Dana Gibson.
The SCR-578 operated on emergency frequencies of 500 kHz and 8280 kHz, transmitting a distinctive SOS signal to guide rescuers. It was designed for operation under extreme conditions, using a hand-cranked dynamo to power the transmitter, and a form factor that allowed it to be held securely between the knees in rough seas.
Equipped with either a collapsible antenna or a kite for extended range, the “Gibson Girl” could transmit signals up to approximately 200 miles. It was used extensively by U.S. and Allied forces and became a standard component of survival kits, saving countless lives during and after the war.
Available in matte or glossy finish. Please note: the glossy option has a smooth, high-shine surface and may feel slippery for some users. For better grip, choose the matte finish.
Compatible with selected iPhone models. This is a third party accessory and is not endorsed by Apple.
