Personalize Your Product

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.

I've only had the phone case for about a week and the image along edges are already wearing off.

Thank you for your feedback and for providing the photos.

The 'worn' areas you've highlighted are part of the intended worn-metal effect of the design, rather than actual wear to the phone case.

If you look at the original product images on our website, you'll notice the same worn appearance around the edges and corners. This is part of the printed artwork, which is designed to give the impression of exposed metal, even though the case itself is not metallic.

We hope this helps clarify the appearance of the design and reassures you that what you're seeing is part of the original artwork rather than a printing defect.

An outstanding replica of the PRC-90 that looks great on my iPhone. I flew with the PRC-90 and this has special meaning. Showed this to some other aviators so you may be getting more orders! Thanks for this unique iPhone case- hope you keep making these for future iPhones.

Thick case but too slippery to hold well when taking pics

I carried a PRC-90 in my survival vest for 24 years as an Army aviator and your phone cover captures it perfectly. Love it. Getting lots of positive comments on it.

Cool PRC-90 Survival Radio phone case! Creative idea, and well implemented too. Many thanks from a pilot that actually used the real thing years ago.

Looks great, fits perfectly. Works with my wireless charger. If you could incorporate a kickstand or something on it, even better. But still 5 stars.

Phone case is very good. Fits my iPhone 13 perfectly and works with cordless chargers. I bought with great reservation as most ads of Facebook I have found, sadly, to be scams. These people delivered as promised!

Excellent. It looks great and I have no worries about it protecting my phone

I’m a bit disappointed, flimsy material, the graphics aren’t pronounced, and the camera lenses have zero protection. I can’t use this to protect a $1k phone.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the case hasn't met your expectations.

We're not entirely sure whether your comment about the graphics not being pronounced refers to their appearance or texture. If it's the latter, we do mention in our product description that our cases feature high-resolution, photo-realistic artwork printed onto the surface, rather than a raised, textured or engraved finish.

Regarding the camera lenses, you're correct that these remain uncovered, as is common with many phone cases where separate lens protectors may need to be purchased if additional protection is required.

We understand that these features may not be what everyone is looking for, so we do make a point of highlighting them in our product descriptions and images to help customers choose the right case for their needs. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

Just an image printed on a case (thought is was 3d textureed). Makes the case slick cause of printed image.

Thanks for your feedback.

We're sorry to hear the case wasn't quite what you expected.

We do make a point of stating in the product description that the design is printed and does not have a raised or textured finish. The product photos also show the flat, printed surface to help customers understand exactly what they're purchasing.

While we understand you were hoping for a textured finish, we do try to make this distinction as clear as possible before purchase.

Too slick to hold. I dropped my phone several times

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I’m sorry to hear you found the case too slippery.

I can see that your order was for the glossy finish. We do note on the product page that the glossy option has a smooth, high-shine surface which may feel slippery for some users, and recommend choosing the matte finish for better grip.

We appreciate you sharing your experience, as it may be helpful to other customers when choosing between the glossy and matte finishes.

I am tremendously happy with my new PRC-90 replica phone case! The printing is amazing and it looks identical to the one I carried all those years ago. It's an awesome conversation starter too!

Looks really authentic. Almost 3 day looking.

It looks nice but the case is pretty rigid. I don't believe that it's going to protect the phone as it should in the event that it gets dropped onto a hard surface. I'll probably only use this case in certain instances and not on a daily basis.

I love this cell phone cover for its uniqueness. Wish it was a little cheaper.
