An apparatus and/or systems related to a case for a mobile device. The case may include a holding shell attached to a cover shell by a strap hinge. The strap hinge includes a plurality of straps attached to alternating sides of the holding shell and the cover shell. The strap hinge may be opened from a left side or a right side of the holding shell. When opened from the left side, a first surface of the plurality of straps is exposed. When opened from the right side, a second surface of the plurality of straps is exposed, the second surface having a different color than the first surface. The strap hinge allows the case to change colors without swapping parts.
