Smartphone cases are usually light and sleek by design, but Matter Neuroscience decided to go the opposite direction, creating perhaps the heaviest and chunkiest phone case money can buy. The stainless steel phone case weighs a whopping 6 pounds — heavier than a 16-inch MacBook Pro laptop — and consists of two separate pieces that screw together around the phone. Not only does the case not fit in your pocket, it becomes incredibly hard to use the more you check your phone. The idea behind the smartphone case is to cut screen time in half. Although taking the heavy phone case off your phone isn't impossible, you need an Allen wrench to detach the two metal pieces, which is annoying and time-consuming enough to convince you against it. The smartphone case is available for pre-order on Kickstarter for $210. It’s a hefty price, but if you’re serious about fighting your smartphone addiction, it’s worth the investment. You can also opt for the brass version, which is heavier and costs a whopping $500.
