Brick has launched four styles of protective cases for its namesake app-blocking device in the U.S. These add-on shells are designed specifically for the latest hardware version released after July 30, 2026.
Why it matters
The introduction of these accessories marks an aesthetic expansion for the Brick device, which functions as a physical tool for limiting screen time. Users manage app access by tapping their phone against the NFC-enabled hardware.
The cases are priced at $39, bringing the combined cost of the device and an accessory to $100. This upgrade is limited to Brick units purchased after July 30, 2026, due to hardware compatibility constraints.
The players
Brick
A developer of physical hardware tools focused on digital well-being and smartphone app-blocking via NFC technology.
The details
The Brick device uses an NFC chip — a wireless communication standard that enables data exchange over short distances — to interface with smartphones for app management. Users initiate the block or unblock process by physically tapping their device against the hardware. The new cases function as snap-on shells that cover the exterior while remaining compatible with the internal NFC antenna of the latest model.

Consumers in the U.S. can now purchase the $39 cases directly through the manufacturer's website. Users must verify their device purchase date was after July 30, 2026, to ensure the shell fits the current hardware specifications.
The takeaway
Brick is expanding its product line as it moves to integrate aesthetic customization into its digital focus tool. Interested users should verify their hardware compatibility on the company website before ordering to ensure the case fits their specific unit.
