The M1NT Hobby Case features a proprietary double magnetic slide lock, delivering multiple layers of protection. An inner holder is magnetically secured within the outer bezel, guarding against unintended separation. The elevated bezel provides shelter for the inner holder and card, while the embossed finger grip pattern enhances control and handling.
The colorways of Hobby Case rang from elegant frosted white to transparent black with a purple hue—an homage to nostalgia. It ensures quick adoption and establishes a unique brand language.

Designed for reusability, the packaging features a zipper seal, providing a layer of protection for the Hobby Case during transport. Extending the sleek slant cut motif from the M1NT logo to the packaging, we seamlessly integrate cutting-edge design language into the user experience from the outset.
