Even heritage-steeped brands are offering an assortment of stylish cases for the various sleek devices that run our lives. Yet despite fashion's obsession with the newfangled, Old World craftsmanship still thrives, and artisanal expertise never went away. Many brands still value time-honored workmanship.
