The Agent 18 company spans back many generations of music device protection, starting with its founder, Wilhelm von Agent, maker of the first glass harp cover back in 1579. Over 300 years later, the family business was passed onto Vesputi Virginina-Agent, an Italian cousin and inventor of the first wooden phonograph cover (Il Protectoro del Fonopodo) back in 1888. He took the business with him to America, where his great grandson eventually created the aluminum record player cover in 1957. As technology flew forward, so did the Agent family's music protection… with the Rubber Jukebox Glove, the Cover-man for Walkmen and the neon Ka-boom Box Plastic Dome. Now, 18 of the descendents of Wilhelm von Agent live and work at Agent 18
headquarters, located in the attic of the Griffith Park Observatory in Los Angeles, California, creating breakthrough protection for music devices and other electronics accessories for the world.
Okay the real truth is that we’re just a bunch of nerdy engineers that spend a lot of time with our iPods, and Cameras, and PSPs and Computers, and…them being our babies protection is important to us! All of our products are designed in Sunny California, or on a plane, or sometime when we’re out running in the park! Our goal is to design products that we would use for products that we love. We hope you will like our products as well. Welcome to Agent protection.
