Opening a smartphone case with real glass

Hello. I'm Takahashi, a staff member at waji. I have a strange career path: a former civil servant and current art university student. I'm usually in charge of updating the waji website.

I've been working with waji for a month and a half now, and I've finally got my hands on the long-awaited Glart series.

This is the model I got.

The glart series has a wide range of products, including wallets and pass cases, but I chose a smartphone case this time because I wanted to choose something that I would look at many times a day .

After much deliberation between blue navy and monochrome, I decided on light gray. Because it's achromatic, it goes well with a wide range of outfits.

The glart series not only has a wide variety of colors, but also has different glass color patterns for each leather color, making it easy to choose.

The box has a nice atmosphere. Let's open it.


Wow. What an amazing worldview.


When you look at it up close, you'll be captivated by the combination of glart's distinctive design and the subdued colored leather. The real glass, which is the highlight of the bag, is particularly captivating.

These items are beautiful and made with great care. But how practical are they?

The glass makes it a little thicker, but it's not too thick. I was worried about the weight, but it's not much different from a regular case.

The leather is incredibly thin and soft, demonstrating the high level of craftsmanship.

I've always used back cover-style smartphone cases up until now, so this is my first time using a notebook-style case. Back cover-style cases are attractive because they are thinner and easier to put in and take out, but notebook-style cases are more decorative.

I felt that one of the attractions of this type of case is that it's easy to grow attached to it.

Men often put their smartphones in their pockets, but this type of strap is not suitable for storage. However, Glart's unique design makes it stand out as part of an outfit, so I thought I'd try carrying it around with a smartphone strap.

I put my iPhone 13 mini in it and it fits perfectly.


It is attached with the included double-sided tape. It is recommended to use a clear case , so I purchased one as well. Choosing a thin clear case gave it a better fit and a sleek look.

Chic design and changing expressions

I'm in love with the design.

The impact of the glass was even greater than I had imagined when I held it in my hands.

I felt this the other day when I was taking product photos, but the appeal of the glart series is that it shows various expressions depending on the reflection of light . It stands out even more in sunlight, so I would like to try it outdoors as well.


The leather has a smooth texture that makes you want to touch it.

Antique door design

I heard that some people display the glart series as objects due to its high design quality, so I decided to give it a try.

oh~.

As expected, it quickly transforms into a mysterious interior. The high-quality texture of the glass and leather creates a synergistic effect that gives it a unique presence.

I opened it and loved it right away.

It seems that with continued use of the glart series , you can enjoy the changes in the color and texture of the leather over time , so I would like to continue reporting on the process of it developing and how easy it is to use.
