Hooray

It's the phone btw

wait is that bumber actually interesting?

isn't it just an ugly fat border for your phone you paid for to not have?

I think it's the new hypebeast thing

if its properly made it could help protect the phone

how?

Its not going to save your screen

<:thonkang:327933449597878312>

usually people drop phones against flat surfaces

so its gonna help just like a normal case would

No they normally drop them on concrete from a height of 4ft

>concrete is not a flat surface

????

Flat is relative

If you drop the corner of your phone on concrete its going to shatter the screen. This aluminium border isnt going to dampen the impact enough to stop that

I think you'd have to test that but if its well made and fits snugly its going to diffuse the force of the impact to a wider contact area for the phone

I find it easier to just not drop my phone

wow dude XD

: ^ )
