Incipio® announces cashWRAP™ – Square Up™ compatible protective carrying case for iPhone

IRVINE, CA – April 8, 2010 –Today, Incipio unveils cashWRAP™, a ground-breaking new credit card reader for the Apple iPhone that allows users to complete financial transactions on the go. This thin, lightweight case includes hardware that incorporates credit card processing capabilities through a simple card slide at the side of the iPhone. cashWRAP is designed to work with ground-breaking technology introduced by Square Up and communicates directly with the iPhone through a built in 3.5mm headphone jack.


"We’re thrilled to work with Incipio to offer people another great hardware solution to securely and quickly accept payments from any plastic payment card” said Jim McKelvey, Chairman of Square Up.


Incipio has intelligently relocated the 3.5mm headphone port on the case to allow the user to talk, listen to music or process by simply sliding the toggle to the appropriate position. By leaving the Apple 30 Pin connector open, this carrying solution guarantees ease in sync and charging as well as speed to market. Using the 3.5mm headphone port on the iPhone insures that virtually no power is used to power cashWRAP allowing the user to talk, text, surf and now process longer. The carrying case is made of an ultra strong impact resistant hard polycarbonate material designed to give business users a long lasting reliable protective solution for iPhone.


cashWRAP’s capabilities allow end-to-end mobile transaction processing to iPhone business users. Combining the brand’s intelligent case hardware with the technology from Square Up gives merchants a complete encryption and processing solution. cashWRAP offers businesses an inexpensive and convenient solution to complete credit card transactions anywhere, anytime.


“cashWRAP is designed to be an affordable solution for anyone wishing to process credit cards on the go. We’re truly excited to be working with Square Up on this project” stated Andy Fathollahi, President of Incipio.
