As with the other Eighth Generation sold cases, this case was designed by the collective and the artist. Orca (a.k.a. so-called "killer whale") design, Coast Salish and Northwest Coast formline style. The cellphone/mobile phone case is thermoplastic polymer with a maple face incised with a central formline graphic of an Orca with inset abalone. The Orca is placed within a split, half black pigmented maple background. An impressed pattern is visible around the sides of the case. Portals created in the case provide access to phone buttons and plugs.
