Portfolio


DutySmith was started on the belief that there is always a better way of doing things. The founders Graeme Esarey, David Law and Ryan Mongan have a long history of creating innovative and useful products in multiple industries.

Ryan and David started  Speck Design 13 years ago and it is now the leading product design firm in Silicon Valley. They successfully launched Speck one of the leading case vendors in the US. Recently, with Graeme they started Camera Armor an innovative camera accessory company. Camera Armor was recently sold, allowing the team to focus on DutySmith.

DutySmith’s goal is to create products that answer the real needs of the user. We do this by creating innovative solutions to the problems that you, the user, identify. We talk regularly to the people who rely on their duty belts and are always looking for feedback on what works and what doesn't.

Products don’t need to be boring.
Design is about making things better, our interpretation of “better” includes building functionality and personality (an interesting twist) into everything we do. Products don’t need to be boring. Boring products make life boring. That’s not what we do. What we do is create good quality cases (for all sorts of devices) that always have a touch of flair and uniqueness and more fun to own and use. Essentially, we believe that the cases that keep delicate stuff protected can be just as stylish as they are protective!

You get to express your own sense of style.
People choose certain cases because that case tells the world something about them. The case allows them to express themselves…their style, their personality.  Our promise is to offer our customers a good quality case that reflects their unique personality and taste.

Our cases have more personality.
Any company can make a black leather case. We think that is predictable, undifferentiated and… “boring”. We make protective cases with attitude and personality.  We incorporate into the design some interesting twists that make them unique and even a little surprising. We believe our customers want to protect their devices with a good quality case, but they’d rather do it with a case that is more enjoyable to own and use.
