Ag++ is an iPhone case by designer Andrea Ponti and Case Logic that blatantly challenges Apple’s approach. It’s rigid and durable, carved from a block of aluminum. But at the same time, it’s cognizant of your hands, with a two-part screw-lock design that accommodates the phone’s contact points with your meat mitts.

You see, Ag++ adds protection and ergonomics to the iPhone’s frame, but it does nothing to protect the (most?) commonly broken front or back glass, which can still land flat on cement or concrete. It makes you wonder about the consumer of such a product–did they not consider that durability scenario, or were they simply so enamored with a more grip-friendly iPhone that they didn’t really care?
