The Figment iPhone case is also a VR viewer

Figment is a VR viewer folded into a sleek iPhone case. It’s pocket-sized, so you can bring it anywhere, and it’s in a phone case, so you actually will bring it everywhere. Because it works with almost all VR apps, you can view or share an immersive VR experience anywhere you are.

The viewer folds in completely, making Figment as slim as the average phone case, and you can get to all of your buttons and ports with ease.

Figment VR, is a clever spring-loaded iPhone 6/6S or 6 Plus/6S Plus case that transforms into a stereoscopic viewer for your phone's VR content.

The steel back flips out, and any iPhone VR app can be viewed through tiny lenses. It's a conversation starter, at least. The lenses are exposed on the back.

It's not a small case, but it's a lot more compact than what other phone-compatible headsets feel like. At least this doubles as a phone case, too. The case feels like a novelty, but it's also easy to store.

Made by Quantum Bakery, a small accessories company in San Francisco, Figment VR is designed to be portable and easy to access. The field of view on the prototype I tried seemed small, but no more or less than most Google Cardboard-level VR cases.

Designed like an origami, Figment VR is as high-quality as it is compact. Constructed with polycarbonate plastic coated in silicone rubber, the VR viewer’s bridge is made of a high grade anodized aluminum, and features scratch-resistant lenses. When you need to view something in VR, the bridge extends to maintain the proper distance between your eyes and the screen, and when you’re done, you can simply fold the viewer back into the case.

Figment VR is available to back for $49 and will eventually cost $79 after the Kickstarter-backer period that runs into January. The case comes in black or white.
