A noble idea that, if popularised, will kill millions of terrarium plants.
Is the idea also that the case is so big and clunky that it’s impossible to hold comfortably?
RIP
RIP Disco Stu’s fish.
Made a design no one is going to buy.
The plants in that case are fake
Simone Giertze made a planter that you have to stick your phone in to activate grow light – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rXpncpkLcw
What if I live in Yakutsk and it’s winter
At least it’s not a goldfish or a turtle
I keep my phone in my pocket…. Plants aren’t gonna last long

Ah shit
This will successfully reduce the terrarium plants survival rate.
Yeah, because leaving your phone in direct sunlight will also do wonders for your battery health.
What if you have multiple phones? I’ve kept all mine through the years as backups.

Solved.
Salad included with case! Count me in
Jokes on him, I’ll just lay on my back all day
What if I lay on my back in the grass? Phone addiction and plants win win
I’ll just lay on the ground to look at my phone now.
As if ambient light doesn’t exist.
That thing will burn after I open Reddit for 5 minutes
Soooo no pockets then?
Me, outside on my phone:

The trick is to keep it plugged in and just have the flashlight on max.
Follow me more for uhhh???
It likes a lot of Sun. But your phone will overheat. The plants aren’t keen on fire. So keep them in the dark. So they die slower.
That won’t stop me from wasting 10h+ on my phone lol. But really cool concept I guess.
Great, now my plants are dead.
Plant torture, where are the vegans?
“U.K. Designer creates greenwashing plastic waste”
Now what if my job relies on working on my phone ??
Just lie on my back looking at it😆
You could just take it off while you’re using your phone
Soooo my phone case will be full of rotten plants in a week, gotcha.
Doing an art:
Good as a statement art piece, sure, but functionally completely useless and financially wouldn’t even get off the ground.
How stupid. So sad people don’t have the willpower to stay off of a screen.

Think again
Fuck them plants
Most people would just let the plants die.
Finally! A case for the performative mobile phone user!
All of the bulkiness that comes with an enormous 7 day battery, with nothing of the battery! 👌
My phone is in my pocket 90% of the time, those plants are dead
Plant torture.
