The beauty about the capitalism is, there is always something for everyone at any given price point. Take for example iPhone case. Since the rise of the popularity of iPhones, we have seen a myriad of them, from the cheapest to the ‘regular price’ to the ridiculously priced options. With regard to the latter, you will probably be expecting some kind of bling like diamonds, crystals or gold, but that’s not the case (pun not intended) with this particular $2,000 example called “The Slit” from Japanese firm Squair. It has none of those. What it has to offer is a case of super strong form of aluminum known as Extra Super Duralumin A7075 (age-hardenable aluminum allows) and has a unique slit design (hence the name “The Slit”). I am not sure if you will consider the peek-a-boo styling a beauty or not, but from the product images, it does look pretty cool.
Ok. I admit. I am a mega sucker for pretty things and this thing just tickles my soft spot. As for protection, it will definitely keep your precious one from daily bumps and knocks, though we can’t say the same for shock absorption cos’ we never knew aluminum to be an excellent shock absorber. Just saying… Anyway, it has a screw-free design and appears to have a two-piece design (aka slider case). Rounding up the package is the obligatory product name, product serial number and country of origin, engraved on the case where the two pieces meet. So there you have it. If you think 2,000 bucks is small change to you and “The Slit” is your cuppa, then you are welcome to pick one up off Amazon. Yes. Amazon. On contrary to believe, the Internet retail giant does have iPhone cases that command pretty shocking stickers too.
