How to Store and Display Your Apoteosi Case and Stele Oscura Case

Start with what each case is made for

The Apoteosi Case and Stele Oscura Case are both CaratCases, but they serve different purposes. The Apoteosi Case is a custom Carat Card Case made for a single deck, built from 5mm transparent black acrylic with a laser-engraved lid and a neodymium magnet closure. The Stele Oscura Case is a refined everyday-carry accessory with an EVA-inspired design, available in a standard size. Neither case includes decks, so plan your storage around the case itself and the deck you pair with it.

Because the supplied records do not include care instructions or operating steps, the advice below focuses on sensible handling and display habits that apply to these materials. When in doubt, keep it simple: avoid unnecessary exposure and handle the cases with clean hands.

Apoteosi Case: acrylic and magnets

• Apoteosi Case: Made by 5mm acrylic sheets with a lid closed by neodymium magnets. Acrylic can scratch and magnets can attract metal objects, so store and display it with a little care.

  

• Apoteosi Case: Custom laser engraving on lid; limited item – just few will be produced. The engraved lid is a visual feature, so keep it free of dust and avoid abrasive cleaning.

Everyday storage habits for both cases

• Keep dust off with a soft cover: A clean microfiber cloth or a soft pouch reduces dust settling on the Apoteosi Case’s engraved lid and the Stele Oscura Case’s surface. Avoid paper or rough fabrics that can leave lint or scratches.
• Store away from direct sunlight: Prolonged sunlight can dull finishes over time. A closed shelf or a shaded display spot is safer than a sunny windowsill for both cases.
• Handle magnets with care: The Apoteosi Case uses neodymium magnets. Keep it away from loose metal items like keys or coins that could snap to the lid, and open and close the lid gently.
• Keep decks separate when not in use: Decks are not included with either case. If you store a deck inside the Apoteosi Case, make sure it is the single deck the case is made for; otherwise, store decks in their own boxes to avoid pressure on the case.

Display ideas that suit each case

For the Apoteosi Case, treat it as a small display piece: the transparent black acrylic and laser engraving look best at eye level or on a shelf where light catches the lid without direct sun. A dedicated shelf with a little breathing room prevents scratches from neighboring objects. For the Stele Oscura Case, its understated, EVA-inspired look pairs well with a tidy everyday-carry tray or a shelf where it can sit flat and avoid being buried under other items. In both cases, a stable spot away from high-traffic edges reduces the chance of knocks.

Stele Oscura Case: standard size, everyday carry

• Stele Oscura Case: Available in a standard size to fit most needs. A standard size keeps display simple: one clear spot on a shelf or tray works without custom inserts.

  

• Stele Oscura Case: Part of the CaratCases collection, featuring a distinctive EVA-inspired design. The EVA-inspired finish is part of its look, so store it away from abrasive surfaces that could scuff it.

A simple weekly care routine

1. Clear the display spot: Remove the case from its shelf or tray and set it on a clean, soft surface.
2. Dust gently: Wipe the outside with a dry microfiber cloth. For the Apoteosi Case, avoid pressing hard on the engraved lid.
3. Check the closure: Open and close the Apoteosi Case lid slowly to confirm the magnets still meet cleanly. If the lid does not close as expected, stop using it until you can inspect it.
4. Return to a shaded spot: Put the case back in its display position, away from direct sun and loose metal objects.

Which case needs which kind of care?

• Apoteosi Case: Focus on scratch prevention for the acrylic and magnet awareness. Its single-deck purpose means it is often handled more, so a soft pouch for transport helps.
• Stele Oscura Case: Focus on keeping the EVA-inspired surface clean and free of dust. Its standard size makes it easy to place on a shelf or in a bag pocket without special inserts.
