#752Objects have to earn the right to exist. We make so much stuff. Most of it unnecessary. Stuff that will soon be cluttering your home and then end up in a landfill. This is not a product that deserves to exist. It is not made from quality materials ( Nylon (14%), Polyester (85%), Polyurethane (1%)). It is not innovative. It is questionable whether it solves its primary use case particularly well. What makes this parti…
There are at least two graves I can think of that this is pissing on.

#753I always have a little chuckle when I see people holding a tiny delicate smartphone in a massive fat case to protect it from the damage it will inevitably take in normal use. I always think that it would have been better if they had just made the phone itself a little tougher!
The phones are incredibly tough, I have never used a case and I've only cracked my screen once and that was like 8 years ago.

#754I bought iPod socks back in the day and loved them. I used them for more than just my iPod, like my Palm pilot and my digital camera :)

Cases are an ablative layer of protection, you can’t get the same thing by making larger phone of some uniform material. Young kids can go through multiple cases each of which look like they have been run over, but it’s relatively common for adults to replace a case.
I'm not a native speaker, I tried googling and translating and still did not get what "ablative" means. Do you mind explaining like I'm 5 what does it mean please..

#756I got excited for a moment, thought it was a new line of iPhone Mini -- you know, the actual handheld iPhones. I still use my 13 Mini. This was the biggest letdown of clicking a link since my last Rickroll in the early 2000's
Same. Meanwhile this looks like this sort of man-purse that in my corner of the world is referred to as something that loosely translates to "quiver of righteousness".
It’s about 4x the price of a man purse, even a brand-name like Nike.

Synthetic fabrics are perfectly capable of being high quality. Buzz Rickson aren't making their MA-1s out of junk.

Are you familiar with Miyake's work? He did a lot of innovative design with synthetics, including the entire Pleats Please line.

My iPhone 13 mini broke last week and I was pleasantly surprised that AppleCare replaced it. "4 more years!"

lol! What corner is that?
Poland and the original wording is "kołczan prawilności".
The "righteousness" in question is a calque from the Russian adjective "правильный", meaning "correct, right, proper" and originates from prison slang. I believe the equivalent English term is "Original Gangster".
The term is of course used in jest in reference to how man-purses, out of all things, are normalized among people associating themselves with street culture, especially that my understanding is that those items were initially just fanny packs worn differently.
