The article discusses how phone cases, traditionally seen as functional and unattractive, have evolved. With the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, SUPCASE, led by design director Jet Weng, is redefining gaming accessories to combine protection with personalization. Weng emphasizes a connection between the user and the device, inspired by his childhood experiences of disassembling gadgets. The goal is to make protective gear part of the gaming experience, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality, reflecting a deeper interaction with devices we cherish.
"The Nintendo Switch is basically a handheld shrine to our favorite digital worlds; a device we'll clutch on commutes, huddle with on couches, and rage-quit less when it’s protected."
"Jet Weng... is redefining how gamers think about protection - not as an afterthought, but as part of the gaming ritual, creating a symbiotic relationship between the device and the user."
