I thought this was great, very much the sort of thing I would have done when I was younger and had the time (and patience!). I don't usually watch long-form videos (that patience thing again), but I watched all the way with this one. I like the understated humor.

I have no doubt that this phone will not be perfect. With all the things sticking out it will catch on stuff, and it will be awkward to hold up to your head to talk, etc. But who cares? He made it himself, and will have a lot of attachment to it if only for that fact.

And I agree with his main point: phones used to be interesting. We all stroke our plain black slabs like monkeys before the Monolith these days, and it's sad.
