So I just got a new iphone 7 and am shopping around for a case. This got me thinking if James Bond had a phone case what would he use. It would have to be rouged enough to withstand a beating but elegant enough to go with a tux. Lets me what you come up with.

    I have an iPhone 7 and have the Mophie Juice pack, its a very strong case with a great feel, its also a battery backup and chargers your phone wirelessly, great for a secret agent!

    That one is fun! Though you'd probably have to take it apart for airport security!

    Bond would never use an iPhone as they're not secure enough. However, if we stretch credulity far enough, I would imagine it would be something functional and practical with a few extras....like the wireless re-charging, or made of Kevlar or fires small poison darts, expands into a hovercraft, shoots down North Korean missiles etc etc!

    haha your right but we wouldn't use an android either it would be a blackberry despite their unpopularity because they are the most secure.

    I like the battery juice pack case but I don't know if I could justify the $100 expense at work :S lol

    Literary Bond would have something simple and manly in black gunmetal, as if he were still around in the iphone age he wouldn't be puffing away on the Moreland Specials so would have no need for a cigarette case.

    For my iPhone I use the Apple black leather one. Napa leather. Keeps the phone slim and light. Simple and elegant.

    It is quite expensive but I got fed up with the iPhone charger leads breaking and having to keep replacing them and also the battery going flat so this solved both issues.

    I don't think that Bond would use any protective case!

    He enjoys uses and abuses his expensive items - I don't recall that he's been bothered when his clothing was being ripped - so why would he care about his phone?

    According to Carte Blanche, Bond's phone screen would encase hundreds of hidden spy apps!

    In reality mi6 don't use apple products, in fact certain brands are banned from use, including lenovo products, special security interfaces are loaded on to the mobile phones, which themselves use a secure and restricted network. Even listening bases such as the US one at menwith ( this is designated as an raf Base, but in fact is a US intelligence Base, and has capability of listening in and filtering mobile phone conversations). Android devices are used but only certain ones from certain makers. Much communication is done via email sent through a dedicated sis programme.... Not Hotmail or Gmail :D.
    Fingerprint technology is not used and typically a mobile device has 4 levels of security to get through to unlock it. All data is wiped from the device but kept by sis own database.

    Menwith hill raf Base. Or in reality a US listening and intelligence Base operated by the NSA, though I have known a couple of cia guys who were stationed there. Yes folks they are listening to you. :o
    It was either that.....or the priesthood

    This is what I ended up getting... not too fancy but still rugged. Maybe not what James Bond would use to still pretty damn sexy if I do say so myself

    It depends on who was supplying the phone and case -MI6 or Bond himself. If the former it would be loaded with apps and gadgets, most probably to prolong battery life, make quick one-touch calls to MI6 etc. But if Bond himself was keeping one for personal use, it would certainly be a simple and elegant, undoubtedly expensive case at home in every situation. Nothing like the cheap one I bought in TK Maxx then. :D

    Correct me if I’m wrong but Daniel Craig actually carries an iPhone
    He is as close as it could be, so I would check out what kind of cases he has been seen using for his iPhone
    I personally recommend something thin and clear or luxurious black leather.


    PS. In the last 2 bond films. Both phones used didn’t have a case.
