Did you design this case to look like a butt? Or did you perfect the case and then decide to call it a butt?

I had the pleasure of meeting Allen last week in his NYC Art Studio (which some of you may have seen on the ProductHuntTeam snap). Allen has painted the likes of Bill Clinton and multiple TIME covers, was the subject of a recent NY Times documentary (watch the first 10 minutes: www.nytimes.com/benjamin), and is the creator of the popular HandL case, and his latest creation is... The Butt Case. Will let Allen talk about where the idea came about, it was fascinating to see early concepts and hear about all the work it took to find just the right material. TL;DR Our sense of Touch is one of the most fundamental forms of communication and building relationships. We have a special relationship with our phones, they run our lives, we pick them up multiple times a day... This case is designed to form a more meaningful experience when we reach for the device. And yes, it really does feel like a butt. ----- Taken via butt case https://twitter.com/Nivo0o0/stat...

No butt for the iPhone 7? She feels so neglected.😩 Happy to see a case that will help folks with arthritis in the hand hold & use phone more comfortably.

Is there a specific method you use for cleaning it? Front-to-back? Back-to-front? Is there a preference to cleaning it while sitting vs standing? Do you recommend using a wet cloth or does a dry one do the trick? Is there a chance it will unexpectedly and disappointedly grow hair after ~15 years of use? Thanks in advance for your response.

I love Handl! Best phone cases ever. I can't wait to try this one.

Great to be here on Product Hunt- thx again, Niv. I'll be happy to take questions, comments from the PH community as well...

Thanks Niv..I've spent much of my life as a painter of the human form. Painting for me is very much about touch- inhaling things through my eyes and exhaling thru my fingers on the canvas. I invented the original HandL product not only as a more fluid and versatile interface between hand and phone like a paintbrush, but to deepen the experience on how we touch tech. HandL Maximus, aka The Butt Case is a few things to me: a tactile work of art- an homage to this part of the body, an artistic/philosophical juxtaposition of a touchable human body part against our digitally represented world- and an attempt to create the most ergonomic phone case possible.

Btw, I will be happy to offer your readers $20 off if they want to buy this case. Just use PHMeow code at checkout @ www.thebuttcase.com

We are considering different skin tones and inserts but this is mainly a tactile case😉 This works as either male or female buttocksbut I developed it inspired by the latter.

When will different gender, skin colour, hair length, front and back side butt options be available? Is this one male or female?

Wouldn't a slimmer options be more useful? That way people will want to carry their phones in their pockets?

I dont really see a market for this that would be large enough to sustain the ever changing and complex phone case market.

Pros:

Looks comfy to hold

Cons:

WAY TO BIG and Akward

The redhead dude must have really weird balls Damn redheads

how could it be done for an iPhone?

Pros:

none

Cons:

very ugly

Well, it looks kinda strange, but I am pretty adamant that this butt thing will be a boon to people who spend their lives with a smartphone in hand. Obviously, wanna try it, too.

Funny, definitely a Go Go for people who want to be different

Pros:

It is completely different to any other case. Tactile is underrated and hugely important.

Cons:

No tight trousers.

hahaha, this case made me think of Game of Throne's episode 7)

The most creative, and the same time, useless case in the world :D. Good job.

Great conversation topic for sure & very funny video. I get the tactile experience, and perhaps I'd drop my phone less... :-)
