Babe, wake up,<\/span> they’re making phone cases for smart glasses<\/a> now.<\/p>\n

A suite of bright clip-on frame covers for Meta\u2019s Ray-Ban smart glasses<\/a> are the first product from Lorika<\/a>, an Italian startup that has described itself as \u201ca team of entrepreneurs under 30.\u201d They\u2019re called Ontop because they go\u2014you guessed it\u2014on top of the glasses frames.<\/p>\n

The covers are polycarbonate plastic frames, with elastic polymers woven in for stability. One piece clips around the lens and covers the hinges that connect to the glasses’ arms. The others slap onto the arms. They don\u2019t cover the glasses\u2019 cameras or speakers<\/a>. The covers are one millimeter thick, though clipping them onto the glasses does give them a noticeably chunkier look. The result is a brightly colored, deliberately loud look. They\u2019re available today and cost $35 or $40 depending on the model.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want something else, something different on design, something more chubby, more puffy, you can get that,\u201d says Giorgio Di Cesare, CEO of Lorika.<\/p>\n

Lorika does not have any official collaboration with Meta. Meta did not immediately respond to WIRED\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not saying they can’t make smart glasses, because obviously they can better than everybody,\u201d Di Cesare says. \u201cBut they have a lot to improve, and we want to improve that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smart glasses have come a long way from the days when anyone who wore them looked like a giant dork and was dubbed a Glasshole<\/a>. To understand why fashion is so important, you merely have to look at the launch of Snap\u2019s new AR Specs<\/a>. They\u2019re powerful devices, but the main thing people immediately noticed about them is that they were extremely expensive and looked very silly. They are so big and unwieldy that their frames squished the ears of Snap CEO Evan Spiegel<\/a> while he wore them.<\/p>\n

Meta, with the help of its partnership with glasses mega-conglomerate EssilorLuxottica, has all but nailed the fashion of the glasses game. For the most part, they look like regular glasses, which helps normalize wearing them in daily life but has also led to rising public animosity and concern toward them given that the devices can be abused by creeps<\/a>. Still, Meta has clearly led the industry, while other companies, like Google, are following its lead by collaborating with fashion-forward eyewear manufacturers such as Warby Parker and Gentle Monster<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
