iFi Audio GO blu Case

Custom-crafted to wrap the Bluetooth GO blu DAC/headphone amp, this two-tone genuine leather case combines everyday practicality with refined craftsmanship. The GO blu Case turns an already compact 26-gram device into a perfectly protected travel companion while preserving full access to its functions.

A precision fit for uncompromising protection

The GO blu Case stands out for its design meticulously tailored to the exact dimensions of the GO blu (54 x 34 x 13 mm). The supple genuine leather hugs the contours of the device with precision, creating a protective second skin that adds only minimal bulk. The two-tone construction, characteristic of iFi’s design language, alternates contrasting shades that accentuate the device’s lines while asserting a strong visual identity.

The embossed iFi logo on the exterior confirms the product’s authenticity and reflects the brand’s philosophy: combining functionality with aesthetic refinement. The leather’s texture—both soft to the touch and resistant to daily wear—develops a distinctive patina over time that personalizes each case according to its owner’s habits.

The case cutouts allow direct access to the 4.4 mm balanced and 3.5 mm S-Balanced outputs located on the top of the GO blu, as well as to the USB-C port on the bottom. The ChronoDial, the crown-inspired control wheel that defines the GO blu, remains perfectly accessible and easy to operate through the case. The side XBass/XSpace and power buttons retain full functionality thanks to specially treated leather zones that transmit pressure without requiring device removal.

The integrated clip: mobility reimagined

The element that turns this case into a true on-the-go accessory is its metal clip positioned on the back. This fastening system, sturdy enough to hold the GO blu and case together (about 37 grams in total) vertically or horizontally, easily attaches to a belt, pants pocket, bag strap, or even a backpack loop.

The clip’s design prevents any direct contact with the device itself, with the leather serving as a protective interface between the metal and the GO blu’s soft-touch polymer. This attention to detail preserves the DAC/amp’s distinctive copper-toned finish while ensuring a stable hold during movement. The clip’s spring mechanism maintains constant tension to prevent accidental slipping, while remaining supple enough for one-handed operation.

For users who prefer other carry options, the clip can be complemented by a wrist strap or lanyard (not included with the official iFi case), turning the setup into a portable audio pendant. This versatility meets different usage scenarios: from a morning jog with the device clipped to a belt, to carrying it in a laptop bag during business travel.

Compatibility and practical considerations

The GO blu Case is intended exclusively for owners of iFi Audio’s[/b/557] portable GO blu DAC/headphone amp. Its custom design excludes compatibility with other iFi devices, such as the recently launched GO blu Air, or larger models like the hip-dac or xDSD Gryphon.

The genuine leather used requires minimal but regular care to preserve its protective and aesthetic qualities. Occasional cleaning with a slightly damp cloth is sufficient to remove fingerprints and accumulated dust. Prolonged exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures should be avoided to maintain the leather’s suppleness and the integrity of the stitching.

Inserting and removing the GO blu from the case requires careful handling. Push the device from its base rather than pulling on the ChronoDial to preserve the wheel’s mechanism. Once in place, the device is held firmly with no risk of slipping, even during sudden movements.

For users seeking alternatives, the market offers third-party cases in Italian Pueblo leather or in faux leather, some including neck lanyards. These options provide different textures and colors but may vary in the precision of the cutouts or the quality of the fastening clip compared to the official iFi case.
