Graft Concepts

Graft Concepts was a consumer-electronics accessories company best known for the "Leverage" modular iPhone case, a latched aluminum-and-polycarbonate bumper frame with interchangeable backplates that let owners swap in kickstands, bike mounts, and 3D-printed backs. The company was a Y Combinator startup based in the San Francisco Bay Area and was acquired by Inseego (formerly Novatel Wireless) in January 2014, after which the independent product and brand were wound down. This profile was surfaced by the venture-portfolio scraper and added to the API Evangelist network as a stub; enrichment found no live developer surface, API, SDK, or documentation for the company. The original graftconcepts.com domain no longer serves the company and now resolves to a parked content page, so there are no API artifacts to catalog.

Graft Concepts is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer Electronics, Mobile Accessories, Hardware, and iPhone Cases.
