This almost 3 kilo case promises to cure (out of pure exhaustion) cell phone addiction
Having your gaze eternally focused on your mobile phone is definitely not a healthy habit and it is in no way a consolation that everyone walks around with their necks bent as if the content stored on their loved one’s smartphone was invariably of the utmost interest. The addition to the mobile phone causes havoc and to try to appease it, the Californian startup Matter Neuroscience has decided to light “6 Pound Phone Case”an iPhone case made of stainless steel that weighs no more and no less than 2.7 kilos.
Although it was originally conceived as a joke, The Materr Neuroscience case aspires to combat digital addiction by relying on a method that is as brutal as it is effective: the force of gravity.
Inspired by the so-called “brick phones” that surfaced back in the 80s, the cover «6 Pound Phone Houses» It turns the iPhone into a heavy device that is perfectly capable of serving as a dumbbell in the gym. However, and although in the gym the cover in question may be useful to a certain extent, outside of this space its usefulness is diluted like sugar. It is clearly unthinkable (and unbearable) to “doomscroll” for hours on a mobile phone that weighs 2.7 kilos and which, therefore, leaves the user completely exhausted (no matter how developed their biceps are).
Its high weight is, however, the main strength of Matter Neuroscience’s unique gadget. And unlike the multiple apps focused on digital detoxification that swarm the Internet, “6 Pound Phone Case” limits the use of the mobile phone by the user by inflicting fatigue on the physical level. To release the iPhone from the case, you even need an Allen key, which makes it even more difficult for the user to eventually give in to temptation and waste hours looking at the phone again.
Protecting himself behind an absurd appearance, la funda «6 Pound Phone Case»available for all iPhone models from 13 to 17, It aims to provoke reflection on screen addiction. Logan Levy, the case’s creator, says he has cut his phone time in half since he decided to put a “6 Pound Phone Case” on his iPhone.
In purely practical terms The Matter Neursocience case turns the phone into a device so unbearably uncomfortable that the user ends up putting it down, putting it away, or simply forgetting about it..
Besides, The 2.7 kilo weight of the “6 Pound Phone Case” is heavy enough to prevent the user from doomscrolling in bed before throwing themselves into the arms of Morpheus. (which ultimately translates into more rest time).
With a price of 210 dollars On Kickstarter, the case does not, however, adapt to all pockets, which has not prevented the invention from already raising 15,000 of the 65,000 dollars necessary to become a reality and make its debut on the market official.
