Striking Minimalist Phone Cases

Bumprz is a Corner-Only Case That Doesn’t Add Bulk to Your P

— February 18, 2014 — Tech
Bumprz is a caseless iPhone case. While that certainly sounds nonsensical, it’s frankly the best way I can think of to describe this innovative take on the iPhone case.

Unlike a traditional iPhone case that covers the entirety of your phone, Bumprz covers only the corners. Yet surprisingly, even though Bumprz covers very little of your phones physical real estate, it still offers incredible protection for your screen by distributing the “compressive and sheer energy of the impact” to the “sides and face of the phone that can withstand this force”. Made from strong metals, Bumprz attach to your phone via a 3M adhesive and add very little bulk to your pocket, unlike traditional phone cases, ensuring that you have room for other important things.

Bumprz is currently available for pre-order and funding on KickStarter.
