You know we make tough, stylish, mountable cases from the most durable material available. You probably also know that we’re happily based in Southern California, but do you know what inspired our designs? Do you know how we got started? Our founders took the time to answer a few questions of how Rokform became what it is today.
When did Rokform get its start? July 2010 we started working on product development and came up with the name Rokform.
How did the idea for a mountable case come about? We wanted to create something that nobody else had and that filled a need. Our customers tell us that they can’t live without their mountable case. We think they are right!
What was the inspiration for Rokform’s case design? Motorcycle Racing parts. Tough, durable and high performance look and feel.
How did Rokform’s founders move from the power sports industry to cases for electronics? We co-mingled our existing talented staff that brought us success in the motorcycle industry for more than 20 years and just switched product lines. Our thinking was that as long as we give the customer a unique, high quality product backed by world-class customer service it would be tough to lose.
What does the future hold for Rokform? The sky is the limit. We still have a lot to learn and we also have a lot of new tricks up our sleeve too, so keep an eye out.

When the days start getting longer, and the weather starts warming up, suddenly all you can think about is teeing off, sand traps, and 5 irons. We know the feeling! That’s why we selfishly did a little “research” to learn where we should plan our next spring golf outing.

The site of the 1978 World Cup, and six straight years of LPGA Tour events make the Princeville Makai Club one of the most historic courses in the US. All 18 holes sit on a rolling plateau above Hanalei Bay on the Pacific Ocean. It doesn’t get much more dreamy than that.

Gulf Shores, Alabama is practically synonymous with Spring Break. With nine golf courses and over 22,000 rooms (everything from luxury condos to chain hotels), it’s no wonder! Golf packages start around $70 per golfer per night, which just might leave you with enough fun money to hang out with other Flora-bama spring breakers on the state line at night.

Myrtle Beach is another place with an excellent Spring Break reputation, and for good reason. If you’re on a budget, Mystical Golf could be your ideal location. It was rated “The Best Value in America” by GOLF Magazine, and has three award-winning courses. If you want to take a day away from the course, there are some great beaches less than 50 miles away!

Not in the mood for a beachy locale? How about a lake? How about 11 lakes? Hot Springs is located at the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas, and is called “a community of lakes surrounded by land.” The weather is beautiful in spring, but you’ll probably want to bring some extra golf balls with all that water around!

If you’d rather be West than South, Saddle Creek Resort in the Sierra Foothills is a great option. It was ranked 8th by Gold Week Magazine for Best Public Access Courses in California. It’s a great family vacation, too, with all amenities within walking distance.
No matter where your spring golf outing takes you, you’ll want to make sure your swing is on par with your golf buddies. Start practicing with Rokform’s golf shooter, and you’ll be able to perfect it!
