This doesn’t come in the size for my iPhone, but if it did I would splurge on getting it.

Will do. Thank you! Was in the process of editing the post and figuring out how I wanted it to look like.

Looks like an ereader or a tablet from the 2000s.

It looks like the failed UMPCs from the mid-aughts

Ha! That's awful! It's awesome too! It's awesul!

[–] Cris_Color 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thats fucking awesome, I really wanna do that with my phone 😅

[–] ApollosArrow 3 points 3 weeks ago

I’ve debating 3D printing something similar. I have an iPhone SE so my phone is on the smaller side.

The editing makes me expect someone to start throwing eggs and gasping any moment.

Anyone know the icons?

Drops, explodes, shatters screen.

Very likely, though tempered glass would likely help a lot.

But why?

[–] ApollosArrow 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Why do anything in life?

I like doing things that have a purpose.

This bulky piece of cheap plastic adds zero functionality and doesn’t achieve anything other then making the phone bulky and silly looking.

[–] ApollosArrow 6 points 3 weeks ago

With that thought process most people wouldn’t get haircuts or buy different clothes. Everyone would just wear black. People like expressing themselves in different ways. Most phones use cases regardless. If I 3D printed a version for my phone, since it’s an iPhone SE, it would still be smaller and less bulky than most people I know.

I assume you’re not going to have a fun time in this sub, so it may need to be one you block.
