Camalen is a new accessories company that makes stylish leather cases for Apple mobile products.

I highlighted one of its iPad 2 cases in our Ultimate iPad 2 case roundup, and while it makes several iPhone cases, the one I found most impressive (they're all pretty impressive) is the Hexa.

First, the leather is really nice--the case comes in multiple colors--but more interestingly, it also converts into both a vertical and horizontal stand for your iPhone.

I'd seen the swiveling-case design in iPad cases but not in an iPhone case. What's also nice is that the swiveling mechanism doesn't add any thickness to the case, so it looks and feels like your typical flip-style case that covers and protects your screen when closed.

At $59, the Hexa isn't cheap, but it is relatively well priced for a high-end leather flip case. It's definitely worth checking out if you're into this style of iPhone case.
