CaseLabs allowed buyers to customize their purchases from their website by offering factory options.[3] The company's cases used aluminum construction and were noted for their ability to house multiple radiators for liquid cooling.[4][5]

CaseLabs announced that it was shutting down permanently in August 2018, citing Trump tariffs cutting into margins by "raising prices by almost 80%", and the "default of a large account". The company said it would not be able to fulfill all existing orders, but parts orders should ship to customers.[6][1][7]

New Ownership

On October 2, 2021, popular PC gaming news outlet GamersNexus reported the intellectual property of the bankrupt CaseLabs brand had been sold to a new owner.[8]
