Isotta has unveiled its new anodized aluminum housing for smartphones—a first for the Italian company. According to the spec sheet, the housing is “compatible with any phone model currently on the market” and can be fitted with “an adjustable mount for additional lenses.” Like many smartphone housings, connection to your phone is via Bluetooth, so you won’t need a special app to make use of the housing’s hardware controls for basic operation. Intriguingly, there’s a “joystick for cursor control.”

The housing features Isotta’s signature single-handed open/close knob, and the spec sheet notes that the back of the housing is “completely detachable” from the front. Interestingly, there’s a compartment for a rechargeable 21700 battery—which explains the housing’s prominent bulge—and there’s a USB-C socket for charging. The battery is designed to keep your phone juiced for longer and it presumably also powers the built-in “moisture sensor with LED indicator.” The housing is ready to receive a vacuum system, but this is an optional extra.

Priced at $1,028.50 from Backscatter, Isotta’s smartphone housing is available now.
