  > It might be dumb, but at least it's expensive. Just realizing that the reverse could be a selling point for a phone here: It might be expensive, but at least it's dumb.

  There will be tons of cheap clones in 3...2...1....

    This was one of my first thoughts. Could have knock-offs made for probably $10 landed cost, and put them on Amazon for $99.

    My mom knitted a bag for my niece's iphone in 2024, so there already was a trend.

    I'm sure there will be, will be interested in how many people who want cheap clones want ... that. I'm not sure there's a sure crossover of big numbers.

  Haha, before looking at the price, I joked "I'm not going to buy this if it's only $99 or less." I sure didn't get disappointed.

  The classic is two guys on a moped in Marseilles. The passenger cuts a pedestrian purse strap (or iPhone strap) and they vanish. One could embed an invisible security cable, but then...

  This makes me wonder how strong this thing is because on first sight it just asks for being cut by a random thug. Same goes for this strap thing they introduced. I thought I won't be seeing anything else more ridiculous this decade regarding phones than people talking on speaker and holding them like piece of pie and here we are. There's no practicality whatsoever - I'd rather buy a strong case, probably that would cover both screen and cameras and a good urban backpack where I can put other stuff like physical wallet and a bottle of water, some charging cable. It's more a gadget sold as a status symbol - bit like some cases had that small rounded window for apple logo.
