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?


Homeopaths think long and hard about homeopathy, but that doesn’t make it a proper science.
