The Selection: A Study in Transition At Kempain Family Outfitters, we view our "Originals" as more than apparel or accessories—they are field journals translated into gear. We selected The Stillwater Study for our impact case collection because it captures the precise, quiet moment of a backcountry transition: that singular second when you step out of the boat and into the shallows, pausing to take in the silence of the timberline.
"This piece began as a digital sketch in Adobe Fresco, experimenting with brush textures and fill selections to replicate the mirror-like calm of a mountain lake," says Jordan. "I wanted to capture the warmth of sunset tones—the browns, oranges, and yellows of the horizon—against the silhouette of the pine forest and mountains. It captures that 'goodbye' moment at the water’s edge when you step out of the boat, a moment of beauty that deserves to be carried with you on every journey."
The Material Manifesto: Technical Protection
- Professional Artistry: Every case features high-resolution, UV-protected printing that preserves the integrity of the original Adobe Fresco brushwork. The textures are designed to resist fading, even after sustained exposure to the sun on the water or the trail.
- Lexan Structural Integrity: Built with an impact-resistant Lexan outer shell, this case provides a durable, field-ready shield against the elements. It is engineered for the grit of the portage, not just the aesthetics of the studio.
- Dual-Layer Shock Absorption: A flexible rubber internal liner acts as a suspension system for your device, absorbing the energy from riverbank bumps or trail-side drops.
- The Lay-Flat Standard: The elevated bezel is a disciplined design choice, ensuring your screen remains scratch-free when placed on uneven, rugged surfaces or granite outcrops.

Let customers speak for us
Great and beautiful case and durable, dropped a few times and it does well but has cracked a little.
It's so cute and it fit my phone like it should and I love the shade of green!
