    My work provided phone is, sadly, an iPhone.

    But the case they provided for it (OtterBox) actually doesn’t have the window.

    Meanwhile, my personal phone, a Pixel, has a case is 100% clear.

    I bought a white phone, so dammit I want to see the white phone! 😂

      I feel you. My phone is this nice metallic blue with a gorgeous shine behind a clear glass back panel. Get to look at it once a month when I clean the phone.

    Wouldn’t it be a lot simpler to make a halo out of foil and wear it on your head? Added bonus: keeps out satanic spy rays!

      Some people want to see/show off the logo. Off-brand cases can’t have the Apple logo on them, so it’s a compromise of sorts.

              More than just your cpu, gpu, and psu generate heat in a desktop, but they’re the only units that normally have giant heat sinks with dedicated fans for cooling them.

              If there was a hole in the center, but the main producer of heat was still covered, that’d be a pretty bad design for heat dissipation.

                  I don’t think we’re really getting anywhere with this, but that’s kinda my point.

                  Take a large pan and set it off-center on the smallest burner on your stove top. The entire pan will get warm, yes, but the part directly over the flame is going to get the hottest.

                  The cpu is the flame, the pan is the phone. If you have to wrap the pan in some sort of protective coat, but want to effectively dissipate heat with the smallest hole possible, the smartest design would be to place the opening over the source of the heat, not the center of heat sink.

                  If the cpu is in the top corner of the phone, the top corner of the phone is going to get significantly warmer than the rest of the phone (in terms of thermal dissipation). Putting a vent hole in the center where there’s less heat while having the warm part covered makes no sense.
