Inspired 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?

I 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.

  • It is entirely possible that professional designers with their professional language put out a garbage product after thinking long and hard about every aspect.

  • That sounds very much like an appeal to authority...

    Professional designers put out the Pontiac Aztec and the Apple puck mouse.

    Can't you say that about basically anything?
