The cases that turn your phone into giant silicone shapes. Like a massive ice cream cone or hello kitty

Have you seen the Arceus phone case? It's amazing

My son loves LEGO. He built a pretty large enclosure for his smart phone out of LEGO Technic parts. It barely fit in his pocket.

Colorful, ugly, ingenious, conversation starter.

The cases that turn your phone into a sharp-edged rectangular prism are dumb as hell!

Cocomii Square iPhone 13 Pro Case - Slim Silicone Luxury Cover - Matte Soft Touch with Microfiber Lining (Antique White) https://a.co/d/afDhBbz

Was hoping it would be sharper and more prismy.

[-] lowmane@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Seriously, it was neither of those. Either different English or an ad.

[-] Vupperware@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It’s definitely a rectangular prism, and how would this be an ad? I admonished the case and only dropped a link when prompted.

That's actually a nice design. First, it's silicone, so it's soft and not sharp at all. Plus the extra material in the corner provides some extra drop protection without giant bulky corner cushions.

[-] Vupperware@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You’re right! Most of them aren’t silicone though. Hard plastic

I bought an Ali Express Love Mei brand metal case for a phone I had. It probably tripled the weight of the phone on top of making it significantly larger.

[-] LemmyFeed@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago

I mean if it tripled the weight then one could assume it made it heavier...

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 year ago

Probably just clarifying that the mass was increased as well. Pretty important as the weight could increase independently of mass if for example the phone was taken to a new planet with stronger gravity after the phone case was installed.

That’s most likely what happened

[-] weew@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe it incorporates some Element Zero and the Mass Effect altered the local gravity

My bad. I meant it more as it taking it to another level of heavy. I used to place most of the weight on my pinkie when scrolling through sites like Reddit but it was so awkward afterwards I had to use two hands and I couldn't wear it with shorts or sweatpants because it would cause them to fall down

[-] ArbitraryMary@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Not necessarily the most ridiculous.. but anything with something stuck on the back so it can’t lie flat. Like those rings that double as a stand. I’d be so annoyed if I had to put my phone face down all the time.

[-] IthronMorn@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

My case won't let me set my phone flat. It drives me crazy.

[-] TheWeirdestCunt@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My own, my battery pack case turns my phone into a brick.

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Girl with that case eat hot chip and lie.
