Stillcase

Pre-order · $59

Lock your phone away for the hours you set.

Stillcase is a simple timed lock box. You choose the hours, put the phone inside, and the lid stays closed until the time is up. No app. No subscription. Just a quieter stretch of the day.

Pre-order — $59 Read the pre-order terms

$59 includes standard shipping in the United States. This is a pre-order, not a ship-today order.

The idea

Willpower is easier when the phone is in another room — and locked.

Stillcase is for evenings, deep work, dinners, and sleep. You set the time yourself. When the hours are up, the lid opens.

01

You set the hours

Turn the timer for the stretch you want — a work block, a meal, or overnight. The time is yours to choose.

02

The phone goes inside

The interior is sized for a modern phone in a typical case. Close the lid, and the screen is out of reach.

03

It stays shut until then

The lock follows the timer you set. When the time is up, the lid opens. That is the whole product.

How it works

Three steps, then the room gets quieter.

1

Set the timer

Choose how long you want the phone put away. The dial is on the box, so you do not need an app to start.

2

Place the phone inside

Set it in the felt-lined interior and close the lid. Stillcase is meant to hold one phone.

3

Leave it until the time is up

The lid stays locked for the hours you set. When the timer ends, it opens, and you can take the phone out.

The object

Made to sit out in a room, not hide in a drawer.

Questions

A few things people usually ask.

Is this a finished product I can get this week?

No. This is a pre-order. We will only start production if there is enough demand. If we do, the estimated ship window is 4–6 weeks from the start of production.

Are the photographs real?

No. They are concept renders of the design we intend to make. They are labeled on the page so it is clear they are not photos of a finished retail unit. Color, materials, and small details may change.

What size phone will it fit?

The design is meant for one modern smartphone in a typical case. We will confirm final interior dimensions before we ship and will refund any pre-order that we cannot reasonably fit.

Can I open it early in an emergency?

The point of Stillcase is that the lid stays closed until the time you set is up. We are still deciding whether a rare emergency release belongs in the first version, and we will describe the final behavior clearly before we ship. If that changes the product in a way you do not want, you can request a full refund before shipment.

Do you have customer reviews yet?

No. Stillcase has not shipped to customers yet, so we are not showing reviews.
