Out of the box, your iPhone is beautiful, then it needs to be protected and its desirable aesthetic becomes hidden forever behind a thick case.
Once upon a time, on a sofa…££££
“I was on my sofa… thinking about my phone and its blue rubber case. And I wondered… why do we buy a beautiful product and then cover it up?” It was with this in mind that Brazilian designer Braz de Pina imagined the iPhone Ultra-Vision, a smartphone that doesn’t need to be protected because it’s already protected when it leaves the factory.
The rubber version of the iPhone££££
A principal designer at Microsoft, de Pina didn’t design the iPhone of a potential future but simply created an alternative model that addresses a fairly universal problem. The metal case thus gives way to a version made of irremovable rubber. The device obviously gains in thickness and loses in elegance, but at least for the first time, the photo lenses do not protrude but are flush with the surface.
A small strange bonus, a retractable camera at the front which cancels out a little of the solidity of the device since this kind of mechanical option is generally synonymous with additional fragility.
