That got me to thinking. Why doesn't Lenovo cash on Thinkpad brand with a smartphone line that would be branded as such. It could use the same rubber coating and maybe titanium skeleton or something. Maybe I'm just not aware that they indeed have such a thing.
- mi100hael 9y agoApple made (makes?) a thin, silicone-coated case for the iPhone. It was monumentally annoying. The extra grippiness of the silicone meant that every time I pulled my phone out of my pants pocket, the pocket came with it and turned inside out. It was also hard to put the phone back in my pocket because it would grip the pocket material instead of sliding in. And finally, the silicone was a victim of its own grippiness and wore out rather quickly. I've found a textured case like Magpul makes to be far superior to one with soft rubber.
- zokier 9y agoMy Moto G (3rd gen or something like that) definitely has slightly rubbery texture, more so than thinkpads I think. So they do exist to some degree. Not aware of current models though.
- dTal 9y agoThe Xperia Mini Pro and the Xperia X10 Mini Pro (shit naming scheme) both have rubberised backs, very like the Thinkpad lid covering (but grippier). It works very well at making the phone satisfying and comfortable to hold, but the durability sucks and it eventually peels off under regular use.
