Dbrand today announced the launch of its new Aperture protective cover for the Apple Vision Pro, which is designed to protect the large glass display of the device.
Made in a Voronoi style with multiple cutouts in a polyurethane material, the cover fits onto the front of the Vision Pro. The cover does not block any of the sensors or buttons on the Vision Pro, so it can be left on the device at all times, which is useful for VR games and activities that might lead you into walls.
Dbrand developed the case after seeing a 3D printed version from Kyle Goodrich, a former AR designer at Snap. Apple bundles the Vision Pro with a protective cover, but Apple's cover is designed to be in place only while the Vision Pro isn't being worn.
The Aperture Faceplate is being sold alongside a separate Aperture Battery Holster that matches the design of the cover while also adding a clip to attach it to an item of clothing while the Vision Pro is in use. Both the Battery Holster and the Faceplate are available in black or orange.

One year ago, Apple shared their bold vision for the future: two people, sitting in a living room. They're watching TV together. Except... the TV isn't on. The room? Dead silent. You see, these hip, middle-aged millennials are each watching television on $3500 ski goggles strapped to their faces. One of the participants in this deranged and dehumanizing spectacle feels hungry. He'd like to order a pizza. Despite the fact that he can literally feel the body heat of the person sitting next to him, he calls them on FaceTime. A small preview window opens in the corner of his view. Within it, multiple cameras have composited various segments of his face into a grotesque mockery of the human form. He looks like a balloon animal version of himself. He's joined by his fellow balloon animal on a video call. They agree to split a pizza. Without moving his body, this miserable manifestation of laziness orders a pizza through an augmented reality web browser. When the pizza arrives, will it be real? Does the living room even exist? Or are they merely projections on the walls of their voluntary head-prisons? We don't know the answers to these questions. What we do know is that both of these people have more dollars than sense. Aperture exists to fix that.
