Really? Why? I think it fits right in. Apple products are heavily designed, and this is a fashion item that adds something.

- tempestn 11mo agoInspired by the concept of "a piece of cloth", we give you this "3d-knitted" piece of cloth to put your phone in. It's kind of difficult to actually get a phone into and out of, and it looks a bit ridiculous, but don't worry, it's only $160 (unless you want the long strap). Like, if you were doing this as an April Fools joke post, what would you even change?
- bartvk 11mo agoI get what you’re saying, to you it feels ridiculous. But the thing is, these are professional designers that have put out a product. The product page shows their professional language and it doesn’t work for all people. But I guarantee you that they thought long and hard on this, and have very good reasons for each and every aspect of the product. It is not half assed work. I don’t see a reason to take it as a joke.

- 63stack 11mo agoIt is entirely possible that professional designers with their professional language put out a garbage product after thinking long and hard about every aspect.
- sib 11mo agoThat sounds very much like an appeal to authority... Professional designers put out the Pontiac Aztec and the Apple puck mouse.

- bovermyer 11mo agoKind of like those fashions where the model wears some kind of artistic interpretation of a yellow flower when really they look like they're wearing more of an art installation than functional clothing?
- MBCook 11mo agoNot GP, but it’s probably a personal thing. I remember the iPod socks. Now make them bigger. Now stretch them out a bunch. Now make it look a little more like Borat’s speedo. Now charge like 7x-10x what the iPod socks cost. If the first place I had seen this was not a direct link to apple.com I too would’ve thought this was a complete joke.
