Object Details

Donor Name

Jennie Kappenman

Tough Case for Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, featuring the District of Columbia flag. The DC flag was adopted in 1938 by a commission created by an Act of Congress. It invokes a design on the coat of arms given to George Washington's ancestor Lawrence Washington of Sulgrave Manor, Northamptonshire, England in 1592. Initially not liked by the city's populace, the flag has become very popular and part of the District's effort to promote statehood. The cellphone/mobile phone case shell is white polycarbonate with the insignia of the Washington DC flag - two red bands and three red stars - printed across the center back of the case. The case has a matte black removable liner. Portals created in the case provide access to phone buttons and plugs. SGS10P is stamped to the inside of the shell liner.

E437475 and E437476 are identical.
