One-handed phones are a dying breed. It makes sense, but it's also a bummer.

      I had to look it up. A scutum is a type of Roman shield.

      scutum
      skyoo͞′təm
      noun

      1. A scute.

      2. A shield-shaped dorsal sclerite or plate of certain insects and arachnids.

      3. An oblong shield made of boards or wickerwork covered with leather, with sometimes an iron rim; carried chiefly by the heavy-armed infantry of the Roman army.

      I’m assuming the third definition is the one we’re after. But it could be an alligator scute, ya never know. (https://animals.howstuffworks.com/reptiles/alligator.htm). And having looked at scutes, I think a phone shaped like that would be all kinds of amusing!
