METAPHYS HAKU IPHONE 4 CASE


This is the new iPhone case by Japanese design concept brand METAPHYS which will be arriving next month. With two material options of stainless steel or titanium, the ultra thin 0.5mm sheild incorporates anti-fingerprint innovation, covering just the right places to protect the iPhone's vulnerable glass and body. Their main point of focus with this slick new product is how the 'case' fits to the device's shape, moulding it into the iPhone as one - essentially, this is how the iPhone should have been designed in the first place so we wouldn't need any protective casing at all. The metal only really adds thickness to the back layer of the phone and it does indeed look appealing, very clean and very Apple.

I'm pretty pleased with how my plastic alkr case is holding up, but admittedly it is rather chunky and my iPhone now isn't too far off looking like one of those 'brick phones' we used to carry. This metal case ticks all the boxes for me, from aesthetics to function and it looks like the perfect product. But the slight problem is its price, coming in at ¥8400. I'll let you do the maths but conversion rates nowadays do us no favours.
