Jeans with See-Through iPhone Pocket

In a move that proves our tech obsession has overcome any desire to be fashionable, here are jeans equipped with a see-through pocket so you can use your iPhone while it’s still in your pants. Yes, because God forbid you take the damn thing out.
Meet the DELTA415 Wearcom Jeans
They’re the DELTA415 Wearcom jeans from Alphyn Industries, covered by gadget sites in June 2012. The trick was a transparent phone pouch beneath a zippered denim flap. Open the flap, and the screen was accessible through the clear material. Close it, and the phone was covered again.
How the See-Through Pocket Worked
Contemporary coverage described a polymer window designed to let the wearer operate a touchscreen without removing the handset. A small opening also allowed a headphone cable to pass through. Remember wired earbuds? These jeans had a plan for those, too.
The pocket was reported to accommodate devices up to 3 inches wide by 5 inches tall. That’s a historical specification, so don’t assume a current phone—or its case—will fit. The jeans themselves had a straight-leg cut and indigo-dyed denim.
Convenience Has Entered the Chat
I bet the kinda person who would wear these atrocities is the same type of person who goes out to the bar with friends, yet spends the entire time on their iPhone Twitting, Facebookering, or whatever kids do these days instead of socializing like human beings.
I get the convenience aspect, I do. I’m ALL for convenience. I don’t wear a fanny pack ’cause it looks good! I wear it because it holds all my shit AND keeps my pants up. But a see-through pocket in your pants for your phone? That’s just silly.
How Much Did the DELTA415 Jeans Cost?
The original post listed the jeans at $160, a price also reported in 2012 coverage. Its original shopping links were BUY and BUY ON AMAZON?; neither establishes current availability or a matching product today.
directions unclear, penis stuck in pocket.
You do realize that you could put ANY smartphone in that pocket, and not just iPhones, which are only ONE brand out of dozens, right?
Obviously, but they’re not going to take 6 different photos of different phones in the pocket, now are they?
I wanna cut a hole them and hand my fat hog into the wing. Hi Reddit
From this thread?

Good idea but not for $160
These would actually be really great for motorcycle riders. I remember I could control my original iPod nano through my jeans while riding, but with the touch screen on my iPhone it’s impossible.
innovation is the key ! Think different
I can see a demand for see through panels in clothing,,, but to have one and to then use it to show off your ‘phone’??
