hollow x frame aluminum iPhone cases by mod 3

radius: hollow x-frame aluminum iPhone cases by mod-3

based in san jose, california, design studio mod-3 has kickstarted the ‘radius’ – an iPhone case that consists of corner modules composed into an x-frame that holds them together. the components are beveled much like the bezel of the iPhone 5, while raised profiles at the front elevate the touch screen, allowing the phone to be placed face down on flat surfaces. held together by stainless steel screws, the thin profile of the corner pieces precisely and securely grips the chamfered edge of the phone without covering any part of the touch screen.

the ‘radius’ is currently seeking funding on kickstarter.
