Cracked screen protector? Bubbles you can't unsee? Or just bored of your plain phone case?
There are now vending machines in Malaysia that let you customise and install a brand-new phone case or screen protector in just a few minutes.
Called Cased, these smart vending machines basically work like a mini phone accessory studio, except everything is automated and surprisingly quick.
Instead of picking from pre-made designs, Cased lets you create your own case on the spot
All you need to do is scan the QR code displayed on the machine and start customising using its built-in AI design tools. You can generate artwork, tweak designs, or personalise it however you like before making payment.
Once you're done, the machine prints and produces your customised phone case automatically, and within about two to three minutes, your new case is ready to collect.
If you've ever struggled with dust or bubbles when applying a screen protector, this part might be a real game-changer
There are also machines offering screen protectors in matte, privacy, and clear options.
Simply select your phone model on the touchscreen, make a cashless payment, and place your phone on the provided tray. The machine then applies the screen protector automatically.
All that's left to do is peel off the top protective layer, and you're done.
