The Opena Case for iPhone 5 will not only help to protect your device from bumps and scrapes, but will also never leave you without an opener again. [Featuring a slide-out bottle opener](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dango-covert-iphone-case) that is ergonomically a part of the entire construction, the Opena Case for iPhone 5 features POSI-LOCK technology, which will help to ensure that the case will work effortlessly for the life of the product.

It would seem that the [smartphone sheath](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vrs-design-origin) has become the latest space to place must-have essentials like credit cards or cash and the Opena Case for iPhone 5 takes things one step further with a functional design that's built to last. Coming in either gun metal black or arctic white, the Opena Case for iPhone 5 will surely be a conversation starter over the summer when it comes in handy at a BBQ or birthday party.
