This is the Arc Pulse case. I'm not sure if different brands have similar designs in past years. And I would say case is a generous term for this.

Yeah, the way I would describe it is it's like Princess Leia's metal bikini from Return of the Jedi, but for your phone.

that's exactly what this is it is a very uncomfortable looking piece of metal that just sort of covers the corners of your phone it goes like around the camera mesa and it covers the top and bottom corners of the phone and you know has an open bottom and that's it they're like this is great because really you just need the corners to be protected because that's the main part that's going to hit the ground if you drop it or whatever which i'll just pause right there and say that's mostly true

But it is very, very possible to drop your phone onto something like, say, a set of cement stairs or something where you will hit the sides, and maybe your screen doesn't break, but you're going to scar up the sides. So right away, I'm not even accepting the premise that the corners are the only thing you need to protect. But why would I like this?

I want a leather case for the grippiness of the leather, and I want it to cover everything, including all the buttons and including the camera button with a, you know, a pass-through thingy of some kind there. So this is...

absolutely nothing like anything that i want out of a case and yet people keep recommending it to me so a please stop and b if you want a case like this i have never seen one because it is a very rare very interesting form of case we will put a link in the show notes and you can try it out because it basically gives you the feel of a naked phone with substantial protection for the corners

Open bottom, also open top, also open left, also open right, right? And honestly, this is actually closer because it does have leather on it. So I can see people saying, hey, you want a leather case and you want an open bottom. You don't have to worry about the camera pass through because there's nothing on the sides.

I do find these attractive, but I will clarify that the leather I want on my phone... is partly and maybe for the most part, the majority wise for the sides, because that's where I grip my phone and the leather makes my phone grippy when I grip it from the side. So not having anything on the sides is not a feature for me. And then, yes, obviously there's the fact that I do drop my phone.

I do actually want some additional protection. And yeah, the leather that goes around helps with that. But if you want a case that's not really a case, but has a really nice look to it and it looks like it might be comfy on the back, hey, there's lots of magnetic back thingies that aren't really cases.

I think they look good too. And that is a good point that one of the reasons I do like leather is for the surface. Like when I put my phone down, screen up on a surface like the couch arm or something that it gives a little bit of extra friction for it not slipping off. But yeah, unfortunately I need to have the sides.
