Want to Look at Your Phone Less? Just Cover Your Screen

Aperture is a concept phone case that aims to keep you from staring at your screen all day.

The idea is to make it just enough of a bother to remove the case from your screen once you’ve got it on there.

The Aperture case does n’t actually exist yet, mind you.

Special Projects is working with a phone case manufacturer to design cases that can fit on the back or front of the device.

They're hopeful that the physical blocking of a screen will be more impactful than what software tools let you do.

Aperture might wind up having to be a separate product after all.
