A pocket converter spends its days moving between a jacket pocket, a bag and a corner of a desk, and that is where scratches accumulate. Chord Electronics offers an official black leather case for the Mojo 2, designed in-house and handmade in the United Kingdom. It fits snugly around the housing without covering the control spheres or sockets, so the device can be used and charged without ever taking it out.
This case is an in-house accessory, introduced alongside the Mojo 2 at its launch in early 2022. It was designed by John Franks, founder of Chord Electronics and designer of the brand’s devices, and is handmade in the United Kingdom. The black leather is accented with contrasting red stitching, and the Chord logo is debossed on the front and back. The result remains understated: a fitted sleeve that follows the contours of the housing rather than a loose cover in which the device would move around.
The Mojo 2 is controlled entirely through its four illuminated spheres, which serve as both buttons and indicators (their colour indicates the volume, sample rate or current menu). The case leaves them exposed, along with the two 3.5 mm mini-jack headphone outputs. For connectivity, the openings provide access to the micro-USB charging port, micro-USB input, USB-C input and optical input.
In practice, the Mojo 2 retains all its uses in its case: connected to a smartphone via USB-C on the underground, plugged into a computer at the office, or connected to a television through the optical socket. Charging also takes place without removing the case, avoiding repeated handling that eventually wears down both the stitching and the housing.
The interior is lined with microfibre, a soft material that protects the Mojo 2’s aluminium finish from friction when sliding it into or out of the case. A magnetic closure holds the device in place and makes both actions easier.
The case remains compact: 8.8 × 6.5 × 2.8 cm and 24 g, compared with the Mojo 2’s 8.3 × 6.2 × 2.29 cm and 185 g. Space savings come at the expense of protection: a fitted leather sleeve cushions against scratches, rubbing against keys and minor everyday knocks, not a hard drop onto a hard floor as a thick rigid shell would. It is a deliberate compromise between bulk and protection, consistent with a device made to fit in a pocket.
No. Its cutouts follow the face of the Mojo 2, which has four control spheres compared to three on the original Mojo, and a USB-C input absent from the first model. Chord offered a separate case for the first-generation Mojo, constructed differently (a polyurethane shell covered in leather).
No, this case fits the Mojo 2 only. Chord makes a dedicated case for the Mojo 2 + Poly combination, which is longer (13.4 cm) and also keeps the Poly’s microSD card reader, charging port and indicator lights accessible. It is also available in the catalogue.
Yes. The micro-USB charging port remains accessible, and the Mojo 2 works while charging. For extended use on mains power, at the office for example, the Mojo 2 has a desktop mode that manages the battery to avoid keeping it fully charged at all times.
Yes. The spheres are fully exposed: their lighting, which indicates the volume, the signal’s sampling rate or the selected menu item, remains visible from all angles.
A soft, dry cloth is all you need to remove dust and fingerprints. It is best to avoid household cleaners, solvents and excessive water, which dry out and stain the leather. If the case gets wet, remove the Mojo 2 and let it air-dry away from direct heat.
No, the case is sold on its own. The Mojo 2 is purchased separately.
