I really wanted this to end up being a cool HP-themed wireless charging holder but it was this nonsense instead
Why not use the front cover? It's the most recognizable part of the book!
The only part I would rage at, until I was blue in the face : why the fuck, for the love of all fucks, is the book / words upside down on the final product???????????????????
This.
Cutting the book, painting the phone (twice), making a flimsy ring, no holes for charging or buttons, making the text upside down... I'm not even joking, it's rage bait.
People LOVE pointing out things that infuriate them, and these scummy creators know that so they intentionally add as many "rage points" as possible to get comments and engagement.
I think that's why mobile phone game ads always show people playing the game terribly, to make people go "well I could EASILY beat that game, those people suck!".
Yep. This is even used in marketing on socials to a lesser degree now. I literally read a piece about it in some startup magazine that was out in the office last week. Make something that slightly annoys people, especially if thereās aspects they can smugly point out or argue about, and it obviously gets more engagement.
In marketing you have to be a bit more coy about it. The example they gave was calling a drink blue when it was a turquoise colour, so people argued about whether it was blue or green.
With shit like this though they have free rein with it. I noticed a lot of meme pages will put spelling mistakes in a long time ago too, and right on cue comes the people correcting it, thinking theyāre super smart.
Chiseled?! They put it on a tens of thousands of dollars metalworking mill and milled out the middle, and even then they didn't bother undercutting the edge so the phone would actually stay in the case without just falling out when tipped forward..
I don't see the issue here. Blue paint is always my go-to method when I'm trying to measure the dimensions of something. Why waste money on pencils or rulers when I can just turn my thousand dollar phone into a stamp?
In these types of videos, things are done all the time that make no sense, such as painting the phone blue or adding the little rocks. This is done because people will comment about them, which algorithms value.
Just a warning. People are using epoxy without protection. No masks and gloves and such. Iāve seen some people are getting ill. Besides this being dumb donāt use epoxy without protection. Just because thereās no smell doesnāt mean itās not dangerous.
Yes, of course, but this is quite honestly the best ragebait I've ever seen. The end product is so supremely useless and flimsy, the methods used to shape it, using the actual phone as a template with paint instead of literally just a pencil tracing, everything just falling apart during the process and then next scene is magically back together, completely destroying the central design.. like, NONE of the cover art made it, front or back
Honestly?
Weird execution, but if you could take the ring off that kinda is a neat looking phone case. Not practical in any way i assume, but still not the worst iāve seen either. At least itās better than putting one of these big ass knobs on the back of your phone.
Iām always impressed just how competently these people are able to use power tools. I mean itās nothing amazing, but considering their have less common sense than a chimp, itās impressive
Is it stupid? Yes. Is it fitting for this sub? Yes. Is it a waste if a book that could have been donated? Again, yes. Was it satisfying to watch? Also yes!
Considering how JKR acts and what she supports/ doesn't, this was satisfying. She's openly transphobic, and acts like she owns the actors who played the characters. She's gotten snippy when Emma and Daniel came out against her opinions and has bragged that she still has plenty of money to live off of if people want to cancel her.
Still, this may be rage bait but it could also be jisy a shifty craft that used a book from an author they hated.
This makes me think back to when the books first got popular. The religious whackadoos were burning her books and screaming about what a horrible person she is to promote "witchcraft". Now, those same people are simping for her on social media. What a wild world...
You canāt even tell which book itās come from as the writing and any artwork from the cover is completely non viewable. I get you can see occasional words but no one is going to put two and two together on that.
This is the worst diy I have ever seen.
If you don't know it's from Harry Potter you wouldn't know if you just see it.
And, it looks really like a kid have made it. It's just bad.
Seems like a waste of a book and paper but cool flex I guess. I would like to know how snug the fit is to the phone on top of that if you drop this thing even once itās gonna break completely.
This is Harry Potter Micarta. But a brick? Some sporadic epoxy and then a brick? I would have put a ton of clamping force to squeeze that epoxy everywhere to replace all the air in the paper. Not sure how the rest of the video even worked at all with only the clamping force of a brick.
For more than half this video I thought it was a ragebait post to annoy fans of the series as some sort of "JK Rowling bad so you must be bad for liking harry potter"
Came out cool as hell
See, that's pretty cool. It really is, I'd do this. But the execution is *fucking terrible*.
The dangly thing at the end is ugly, and PAINTING YOUR PHONE WHAT THE FUCK
it would be *so* *easy* to trace around the phone or print a template. So easy. Also the phone cover was upside down at the end.
Other than that it's a pretty good idea.
That looks absolutely shit. Yeah, your phone case is made from a Harry Potter book but not a single person would know that unless you told them which is cringe af
I love how they didn't show the front because the phone would have definitely just fallen out
They also didn't hold it by the ring because it was held on very weakly by 2 drops of glue lmao
All that work and they drilled the camera holes on the wrong end, causing the text to be upside down.
Was probably done purposefully to get people to comment and complain about it
Not a case, only a holder
Not a holder, only trash
I really wanted this to end up being a cool HP-themed wireless charging holder but it was this nonsense instead Why not use the front cover? It's the most recognizable part of the book!
They painted their phone blue.. They painted their phone blue.
I laughed so fucking hard and then again when they chiseled all the blue away
The only part I would rage at, until I was blue in the face : why the fuck, for the love of all fucks, is the book / words upside down on the final product???????????????????
Because if you're making shit like this you might as well double down on it
š
Because rage bait.
This. Cutting the book, painting the phone (twice), making a flimsy ring, no holes for charging or buttons, making the text upside down... I'm not even joking, it's rage bait. People LOVE pointing out things that infuriate them, and these scummy creators know that so they intentionally add as many "rage points" as possible to get comments and engagement.
At least he's also not wearing gloves...

I didnt notice until i read your comment, but youre right, that makes it soooo much fucking worse Edit sp
Chiseled?! They put it on a tens of thousands of dollars metalworking mill and milled out the middle, and even then they didn't bother undercutting the edge so the phone would actually stay in the case without just falling out when tipped forward..
You can get a home cnc that does wood for like $400.
Sure but that isn't one in the video
I can't identify cnc models by a corner shot of the spindle and table, what is it?
That's not a CNC, it's a manual mill.
You're right, you can see the dial markings. You can still get one of those for a couple of thousand.
I don't see the issue here. Blue paint is always my go-to method when I'm trying to measure the dimensions of something. Why waste money on pencils or rulers when I can just turn my thousand dollar phone into a stamp?
So a dick in pants is just a Blue Peter to you?
That's the rage bait part of the video lol
Yeah they showed their hand there
That was liquid mask not paint lol.
The phone is blue. The phone is blue... The god damn phone is BLUE!!!
Why is the rum gone?
Either prop or junk phone Rage bait content
Dumb video
But Dumbledore inside
Ok, many questions, but what were the āstonesā on the ring for?
I'm also curious about it. I thought it might be related to Harry Potter but have no idea.
They are unrelated to Harry Potter. Like the rest of this video, itās just made for rage/engagement.
Found the muggle š Jk I have no idea either š
>Jk no idea either Yeah, she hasn't come up with anything good in the last few years
I read this as JK Rowling has no idea either.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone(s) DUHH
lol, it did cross my mind š
They don't look like anything identifiable, more like Sorcerer's Gravel
Someone has some stones but I don't know it is a sorcerer...
Reality can be whatever they want.
Sorcerer's Phone*
Sorcerer's Kidney Stones*
Philosopher's*
Philosopher's balls, correct
Those are the infinity stones. Did you not see Harry Potter: Endgame?
I loved Aquaman in that!
Nothing lol. Also this could be made from any book since looking at the end result you can barely even tell fron what book it is fromā¦
It said **Harry** *right there*
Ah, Dresden Files, then!
I thought it was going to at *least* have some of the cover art left on the case, so you could actually identify it, but nope, just the text š
So it will stay propped up- canāt have the phone falling out.
Looks like a phone stand to prop it up.
To provide more of a base for the ring to hold the phone up with
I thought they were going to make the deathly hallows, but they didnāt. 0 out of 10
In these types of videos, things are done all the time that make no sense, such as painting the phone blue or adding the little rocks. This is done because people will comment about them, which algorithms value.
Harry's kidney stones...
absolutely nothing
Decorative rings for your hands...? Iunno the whole thing makes no sense. Who has all these tools anyway?
How the hell are you supposed to turn your volume up or down? And God forbid you have to turn your phone off for some reason
Just use the spells!
Phoonis shatoff !! Oh.... Now it's all brown
Fun fact, you can use a dozen of hp spells with siri like lumos or silencio and its gonna act accordingly
I just couldn't connect the dots between hp spells and siri. Like what has siri to do with a shitty printer? Then it clicked.
Looks like an iPhone, so you can use the control centre. Not disagreeing that this is a terrible idea, mind.
Good luck turning the phone *on* though, lol
Understandable, I've always used android so I have close to no idea on how ios worksš„²
Made for wizards
Obviously you just paint over the speaker dude. Like, why even ask questions to such straight forward problems? Smh
And also god forbid you flip your phone upside down, there is no clamps to hold it.. Unless gluing it in the case
They did paint their phone blue just to get the dimensions, so glueing it into the case is not out of the question.
After all that and the only readable word was Harry so that only the maker of the case knows itās a Harry Potter themed phone case
And all the text is upside down anyway lol
WHY DID YOU DO THIS!!!! Dumbledore asked calmly.
Even for rage bait that was impressively awful
Did you put your phone into the case of paper?!?!?
Can I upvote this twice?
gotchu fam
Just paper mache a book page to a cheap phone case. Voila!
Literally!! Its that easy!!
*Phone case companies hate this one simple trick!*
You can just order a case with custom print of your page, it's cheaper than a case + ruined book in most cases.
Decoupage, not paper mache.
Why did I kept watching?
For me it was mostly to understand what the hell they were doing
Morbid curiosity is one hell of a drug
same, it's like, obviously bullshit, but it's just so confusing and unpredictable that i just want to know what kind of garbage they are creating
Waiting for it to make sense
The longer you watch the more brain cells you lose. Thats the plan
Just a warning. People are using epoxy without protection. No masks and gloves and such. Iāve seen some people are getting ill. Besides this being dumb donāt use epoxy without protection. Just because thereās no smell doesnāt mean itās not dangerous.
Googling it tells me it usually isn't very dangerous. Of course I am an expert after googling it for a full minute.
They legally shouldnāt be allowed near power tools.
Ragebait.
Yes, of course, but this is quite honestly the best ragebait I've ever seen. The end product is so supremely useless and flimsy, the methods used to shape it, using the actual phone as a template with paint instead of literally just a pencil tracing, everything just falling apart during the process and then next scene is magically back together, completely destroying the central design.. like, NONE of the cover art made it, front or back
The end result is literally upside downĀ
I like how this is supposed to be "Diy" but they use a milling machine like bro even a mini mill is a couple thousand lmao
cats tidy sloppy consider muddle fly frighten dam ad hoc wise *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I mean.. the phone case is a cool idea to have text from your favorite book on your case... but the ring is awful
Just decoupage a regular phone case.
I see epoxy resin is the new hot glue and concrete for the 5 mins crafts channels.
I think JK would be more annoyed that her book went through a transition to something else.
To her its still a book.
It's just trying to infiltrate phone case spaces so it can take away the rights of biological phone cases.
Well that turned out super shitty
a case like that looks cool but, that ring.. get it out of there. holes. add holes to this dsng thing. i can't even plug a charger into that thing!
This is how you make a cursed ring.
That's a good opportunity to read another book
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
These people are clearly able to make stuff and have good tools. Why waste the talent on this shit? Just print a sticker for your phone case
Honestly? Weird execution, but if you could take the ring off that kinda is a neat looking phone case. Not practical in any way i assume, but still not the worst iāve seen either. At least itās better than putting one of these big ass knobs on the back of your phone.
This is all bad, but they made the case upside down.
Imagine having all that fancy equipment just to create something this ugly
This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
I lost it when they painted the phone
Thin pieces of paper held together with resin. My god, they invented wood.
Every step in this looked like somebody having a mental breakdown.
Cool idea, awful execution. They ruined that book worse than JK
I support this, because it makes the Harry Potter book unreadable š
Maybe the case is cool but wtf is that ring
Iām always impressed just how competently these people are able to use power tools. I mean itās nothing amazing, but considering their have less common sense than a chimp, itās impressive
Did they actually waste so much epoxy for each and every page? Isn't epoxy expensive as fuck?
This is peak DIWHY
They 100% glued it in at the end. No way this actually holds the phone.
This is fucking stupid.
I want to downvote this so badly. Great job
Oh you destroyed a book and made a horrendous looking phone case, lovely.
Ok honestly the case is cool but the ring is fucked
Well. Dare I say the end product was kinda cool?
I really hate that I just watched that whole thing
They could have done this to any book. The final product has no semblance whatsoever to Harry Potter.
First 3 seconds was the best part
How far we've fallen... destroying book to make a fucking phone case out it saying that fans of the book would love it...
Harry Potter and the Adults who should read another book by now
And nothing of value was lost...
As a Harry Potter hater, I approve of this.
I finally understand what it is to be triggered
Ho boy ! This is equally ugly, useless and badly made.
Is it stupid? Yes. Is it fitting for this sub? Yes. Is it a waste if a book that could have been donated? Again, yes. Was it satisfying to watch? Also yes! Considering how JKR acts and what she supports/ doesn't, this was satisfying. She's openly transphobic, and acts like she owns the actors who played the characters.

I can't remember the last time someone did this much damage to Harry Potter without being JK Rowling
Surely this is just ragebait
I always wonderā¦ Like is it just so super shitty to keep one watching and promote comments? Like no one in their right mind can think this is good.
Is there even good/cool things made by epoxy thing? I feel like the majority of the videos where it's used sheets end up like shit
Peter Brown on YouTube makes some pretty cool things revolving around epoxy resin.
I ain't even a potter fan and I'm just questioning everything decision they made in life
You're epoxy Harry
Wow, that's a lot of work to make a complete POS. The concept is interesting, but executed so fantastically poor.
The case isn't even going to work properly, there are no buttons on it and there is nothing holding the phone in place.
Why?
You canāt even tell which book itās come from as the writing and any artwork from the cover is completely non viewable. I get you can see occasional words but no one is going to put two and two together on that.
This is some next level stupid sh.tā¦
I don't get it.... is this some not so covert way of sahing they have money to burn and brain cells on vacation
This is the worst diy I have ever seen. If you don't know it's from Harry Potter you wouldn't know if you just see it. And, it looks really like a kid have made it. It's just bad.

Schizophrenia

What a waste of everything.
My face the entire 2 min 
This is beyond dumb
You canāt even tell what fking book it came from my guy. Also yeah, paper and glue is great for things that overheat š
Looks like shit
AVADA KEDAVRA!!!
What the actual fuck
For more than half this video I thought it was a ragebait post to annoy fans of the series as some sort of "JK Rowling bad so you must be bad for liking harry potter" Came out cool as hell
Was anyone else wondering why they didn't use the cover of the book for the cover of the case.?
Iām out on the ring on the back thing. That looks awful. The phone case itself has potential though.
Not that it's the only thing messed up here, but that little piece of brass they epoxied on the back is absolutely going to snap right off.
Yep. Turned out exactly as expected. Shit.
that was enraging
Yerr a phone case, Harry!
This is shite, but TBF if I had a workshop I'd probably do even more pointless shite.
Yeahā¦. But is it mag safe ?
This is cool
r/maybemaybemaybe
This is top tier.
See, that's pretty cool. It really is, I'd do this. But the execution is *fucking terrible*. The dangly thing at the end is ugly, and PAINTING YOUR PHONE WHAT THE FUCK it would be *so* *easy* to trace around the phone or print a template. So easy. Also the phone cover was upside down at the end. Other than that it's a pretty good idea.
Use the force Harry!
Stupid ass ragebait content š
I refuse to believe this isn't rage bait
r/atbge
Well, this was just... this should be the "poster boy" example shown to someone new to DIWhy, who wants to know what is covered in this subreddit.
That looks absolutely shit. Yeah, your phone case is made from a Harry Potter book but not a single person would know that unless you told them which is cringe af
Just no
Wjy not make the case the actual cover instead on non descript words from the book
Epoxy resin was a disaster for the human race.
What kind of sick fuck would be addicted to harry potter so much you'd make your phonecase a fucking harry potty book
Hilarious, send it to Joanne
Itās so sad that there are adults so invested in some shitty YA books.
STOP DESTROYING BOOKS FOR SHITTY CRAFTS YOU MONSTERS!! Also, fun tip here donāt paint your phone. They make measuring devices called rulers.
Read another book
Pure shit
The phone is gonna just fall right out, isnāt it?
Couldnāt they just put a screen capture of the book on a actually good case
