I don't understand why phones aren't just designed to have a replaceable shell as a first class piece of their design system, so we're not forced to buy random clunky junk to wrap around our phones. The value prop of a case is extremely clear as evidenced by the massive market of aftermarket cases and pretty much anyone who's ever owned a phone. This is akin to trying to gaslight customers into not using laptop sleeves.

- zumu 4y agoYea I almost mentioned it as I have that phone. Perhaps it's a happy medium, but to me it's just a step in the right direction, and I'd love to see the concept pushed further.
- lttlrck 4y agoThis is a nice idea. There must be something that does this already but I'm stumped. It seems like something Sony would have tried 30 years ago on a Walkman... one mechanism with multiple cases for different environments.
