I never got the appeal of transparent phone cases. Looks just hideous...
You must be young. Transparent telephones were hot during the 1980s and 1990s.

Witness the popularity of the Conair SW205



This is just a modern take on an old idea. What's old is new again. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
 
Next thing you know plastic surgeons will be offering translucent skin so we can show off our intestines and what not. Thanks but I don't need to see the inside of my iPhone.

I just tell people all of my tattoos are inside.
 
What I find interesting is how much this doesn't look like an artist's or designer's interpretation of a glass phone. The internals are way too boring from a design/visual perspective. Kinda funny...

totally agreed. I'd rather then have the steam punk wallpapers of mechanical clockwork imitating the phone's innards. You remember those? Much cooler than this.
 
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are the first models with easily removable back glass since the iPhone 4S.

When I saw the title and photo I immediately thought back to when I put a clear plastic back on my 4 back in the day. Unfortunately it was also plastic covering the camera and resulted in terrible photos. So it didn't last long.

Pretty cool. It’s a bit upsetting to see what plainess $1000 gets you - I mean some pretty anonymous components but still interesting. Needs an illuminated array of micro leds (color wave) in outline of an apple, maybe flags. can see approaching a cafe in a dark little seaside hideaway for meetup, only a few candles, seen from across the cobbled street, and a brilliant tiny apple or heart or flag. True apple.
 
Ha Ha going into my phone for another customized lock screen. That mil-script typeface time gonna look good on this.
 
A visual reminder to remove the last physical port to make space for a larger battery. 30W MagSafe (Qi 1.3) + WiFi 6E 802.11ax 6GHz + Bluetooth 5.3 + larger battery iPhone 15 sounds rather nice to me.
