Bezl: THE minimalistic iPhone case


Bezl is the most minimalistic iPhone case you could find.
Too bad it's only for iPhones :(





First a little disclaimer: Bezl's designer Jos Cocquyt is a friend of mine. I remember when he told me his idea of this minimalistic phone case in one of the beach restaurant's in Jericoacoara. I was immediately sold on the simplicity of the idea.

When you drop your phone to flat surface like concrete floor there's only four spots that take the worst impact, the four corners. If you have bumbers like in Bezl it's not even possible that you phone ever touches the concrete floor. There's video in Bezl's web site that shows phone been dropped from the roof of the house without any scratch to the phone. When the corners are protected only things that can break your phone are the twist if it drops from too high or if the floor is not flat.

One of the reasons Jos designed this was that with normal phone cases when you spend a lot of time in surfing beaches there's always sand and dust flying around.  There will always be some of that sand and dust inside the case, between the case and the phone, and it will stay there if you don't clean it once in a while. With Bezl if the phone glass is scratch-resistant like iPhone you don't need to have the whole case.

What I also like about Bezl is the minimalistic feel. First thing that came to my mind about this was high-end amplifiers and turntables.
