Have you seen the modular accessories for The Fairphone (Gen. 6)?

In addition to my previous quick shots above (:backhand_index_pointing_right: here and :backhand_index_pointing_right: here) I have finally brought myself to make some more photos of the FP6 case and the other accessories (lanyard, card holder, finger loop). A selection:

Three points regarding the Protective Case:

  • I tried a couple of times, but the case stands a tad bit out the device at the volume buttons (see photos 2 and 3). A closer look at the inside of the case suggests that there is no “valley” that would take in the buttons, so the buttons just hit the case like at any other point of the case and make it minimally stand out. Note there is a “counterpart” for the buttons on the inside wall, and there is excellent clicky feedback when pushing the outside buttons.
  • All in all, the case keeps reminding me of the FP :three: Protective Case. It hugs the device sufficiently and sits on it somewhat sturdily.
  • Now, the large cutout on its back … I would think that Fairphone probably debated a long time whether to offer both a case with and a case without the cutout. My speculation would be that at one point we might still see one without from them (and probably earlier from third parties). – My own idea almost right from the start: Could the cutout be filled with an exactly fitting plate of plexiglass (perhaps fixed by slightly longer Torx screws), allowing the user to add some sort of “shop window” to the device back. This “window” could be filled with changing designs without the need for glue or adhesive. Call it changing “temp tattoos” :wink:
