Dbrand's Always-On 'Aperture' Case Protects Your Vision Pro Without Interfering With Sensors and Buttons

[MacRumors]

Dbrand today announced the launch of its new Aperture protective cover for the Apple Vision Pro, which is designed to protect the large glass display of the device.

Made in a Voronoi style with multiple cutouts in a polyurethane material, the cover fits onto the front of the Vision Pro. The cover does not block any of the sensors or buttons on the Vision Pro, so it can be left on the device at all times, which is useful for VR games and activities that might lead you into walls.

Dbrand developed the case after seeing a 3D printed version from Kyle Goodrich, a former AR designer at Snap. Apple bundles the Vision Pro with a protective cover, but Apple's cover is designed to be in place only while the Vision Pro isn't being worn.

The Aperture Faceplate is being sold alongside a separate Aperture Battery Holster that matches the design of the cover while also adding a clip to attach it to an item of clothing while the Vision Pro is in use. Both the Battery Holster and the Faceplate are available in black or orange.

The Aperture Faceplate alone is priced at $49, while the combo is $69. The accessories can be purchased from the Dbrand website.

Good grief that is horrible

 

[rappr]

Oof. You could at least consulted your designers, Dbrand.

 

[diamornte]

Yay. More e-waste!

 

[WarmWinterHat]

Congrats dbrand, you made that turd look worse than it already did!

If MR doesn’t have an affiliate agreement with Dbrand they need to jump on it NOW! There’s a ton of money on the table with this incredible product

 

[mrat93]

I agree with all of the comments here but I want it. Sucks that this product is needed in the first place.

 

[california_kid]

LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!!!

....oh wait this is for real?

 

[Kissmo1980]

Oh great!
Now it's Cyclops with a fungus on the eye.

 

[MrTemple]

Holy I want one of these in neon pink or green!

I never wear it outside the house. I don’t give one flyshart about looking cool. I like to be colourful and vibrant just for me.

All y’all haters are exposing your own fragility at fearing being perceived as uncool.

 

[elrojo69]

The comments here won't agree with me, but i think it looks cool.

 

[Joshuaorange]

It’s a dumb product that highlights perfectly how dumb Apple’s product is.

 

[Rychiar]

thats nice alternative to those hideous clear plastic ones people put on the thing

 

[HJM.NL]

It will probably be sold by the millions 😜

 

[siddavis]

Those sensors are doing a bangup job if VR is leading you into walls!
I guess that's not what the sensors are supposed to be doing for those applications, but still...

 

[miiwtoo]

Tim Cook buying all the inventory

 

[Unity451]

This is great for that "I was attacked by spiderman" look.

The marketing email is genius

One year ago, Apple shared their bold vision for the future: two people, sitting in a living room. They're watching TV together. Except... the TV isn't on. The room? Dead silent. You see, these hip, middle-aged millennials are each watching television on $3500 ski goggles strapped to their faces. One of the participants in this deranged and dehumanizing spectacle feels hungry. He'd like to order a pizza. Despite the fact that he can literally feel the body heat of the person sitting next to him, he calls them on FaceTime. A small preview window opens in the corner of his view. Within it, multiple cameras have composited various segments of his face into a grotesque mockery of the human form. He looks like a balloon animal version of himself. He's joined by his fellow balloon animal on a video call. They agree to split a pizza. Without moving his body, this miserable manifestation of laziness orders a pizza through an augmented reality web browser. When the pizza arrives, will it be real? Does the living room even exist? Or are they merely projections on the walls of their voluntary head-prisons? We don't know the answers to these questions. What we do know is that both of these people have more dollars than sense. Aperture exists to fix that.

 

[smokedpixel]

Yeah, that's what I want on my face on an airplane ... a big orange mesh? Although, would it really be worse than a naked Vision Pro on a plane?

 

[BelgianChoklit]

I think it looks pretty nice. Too bad the thing it covers is useless and overpriced though.

 

[macduke]

I hate it. It's giving trypophobia hard!

 

[Think|Different]

The comments here won't agree with me, but i think it looks cool.

I agree with you – it's really not that offensive. It's just literally holes.

 

[Joe 🦅🇬🇧]

I wonder how many bees and other little insects those holes would attract ... 🐝🐝🐝🐝

The first little spider should be called 'Shirley'

 

[Asthmatic Kitty]

Guess I'm in the minority but I think it's quite a smart design — I imagine there are a lot of AVP users who live alone and thus don't care about EyeSight or whatever it's called, but worry about the glass getting scratched or get annoyed with having to put the cover on and off all the time.
