Many people might find themselves touching their smartphones even when they don't really need to... The author is no exception.

Recommended for the digital detox of modern people is this "NOCTPHONE." It's a luminescent device shaped like a smartphone that doesn't do anything when touched, effectively satisfying the desire to touch a smartphone. The gap between this shape and its simple function is its biggest feature. Nothing happens when you touch it, but that's what makes it appealing.

The device is only 3mm thick and weighs just 40g, making it portable anywhere.

The main body emits a soft glow and can be charged with lighting from LEDs or fluorescent lights due to its luminescent properties. It serves well as a light for reading or relaxing times, and it's also recommended to place it on side tables in the entrance or bedroom.

Because it’s tough, it’s useful for outdoor activities and disaster prevention

The main body is made of acrylic, which combines over ten times the impact resistance and waterproof properties of glass, making it very tough. Combined with its characteristic of being able to glow in the dark even without a power source, it can be said to be highly compatible with outdoor activities and disaster prevention. Since the glow-in-the-dark pigment is mixed directly into the acrylic, there’s no worry about it chipping off.
