A neuroscience startup has created a 6-pound smartphone case that is so heavy and cumbersome to use that it should limit most people’s screentime by around half.
Smartphone cases are usually light and slick by design, but one company thinks the opposite could actually do us some good!
Matter Neuroscience decided to create perhaps the heaviest and chunkiest phone case money can buy. There was a purpose to their madness, however, as they were trying their best to create the most inconvenient smartphone case in order to make the handheld as difficult to use as possible. The stainless steel phone case weighs a whopping 6 pounds (2.7 kg), heavier than a 16-inch MacBook Pro laptop, and consists of two separate pieces that screw together around the phone.
Matter Neuroscience hopes to reach its $75,000 crowdfunding goal, but, at the time of this writing, it has managed to raise just $20,000. Find more from the protoype after the jump! Would you buy, OMG?
This won’t sell like this. Now if they could make it have better reception everywhere. Then maybe people would even consider it. See the people who are on their phone all the time. They want to be on their phone all the time. So who exactly is this going to be marketed to?
