I find that there is a weakness in the design of mobile phone protective covers. They do provide protection for the phone itself, but serves no other purpose. In my own designs I am interested in designing products that have a dual purpose. By introducing another element into the design of the phone case it enables the user to carry less when leaving in a hurry. I find myself, on occasion, only wanting to carry my phone, ID, and credit card. This creates an issue of making sure that you are not going to loose your phone or cards.
My design was inspired through a visit to the library. I found that the only items that I wanted to carry with me were my phone and student ID. When carrying both of these items I find myself placing the ID card underneath the rubber case that is used to protect my phone. I then began to think about carrying these two items together I think about a wallet that my boyfriend carries. His wallet consists of a small leather sleeve that holds a few cards and clip that holds money. I began to wonder how these two items could be incorporated together.
The deliverable for this design competition would include rendered 3D models in Rhino that are also working models.
