I have no problems slipping it into my pocket. But if you have tighter pants or smaller pockets I could understand that complaint.

It actually makes the phone sit more flat on the desk. Without it, the camera bump makes the phone wobble (I don’t use a case).

Plus, it stops the phone from being scratched by being placed or slid across a horizontal surface.

Like I said, try it before you knock it. It’s only a $10 investment and they probably take returns.

Function over form in this case.

You can also get them in colors that closely match your phone so they’re less conspicuous. The black aluminum one goes very well with the space grey iPhone.

Mine is custom and has a picture of my cat on it.

It alleviates that problem because your hand doesn’t have to grip the corners of the phone to be able to hold the phone with one hand anymore. You can pivot the phone from the center without dropping it or having to shift your grip.

If you can’t imagine it, seriously, it’s a $10 thing. Just try it. Give it a week for you to get used to it. If you hate it you’re not out a lot of time, money, or effort.
