Mobile Phone Tidy
We highlighted a few specific features, and set to work on the design. These features being:
- That the product must be able to be used in different countries - UK 3 pin, Euro 2 pin & USA 3 pin)
- It had to accommodate the majority of the currently available mobile 'phones
- The cable to be stored neatly out of the way
- It could be mounted either left-hand or right-hand
- Designed to avoid any switches
- Be stylish and practical
We came up with a conceptual design, then with a few minor 'tweaks' the product was turned from concept into a 3D model and then into reality-the feel it, see it, touch it stage. We had some rapid prototypes made and tried a goodly number of mobiles in the cradle. Happy with what was created we filed for and were granted Design Registration. Then, using our tooling contacts in China we tooled it.
Briefly the product is designed as two pieces that click together either way round to allow for LH/RH mounting. The 'arms' cuddle your precious mobile, flexing to take up the fatter ones. The cut-out underneath allows the charging cable to be accessible.
The chargers electrical pins are inserted through the relevant cut-outs into the socket, the miles of cable are wound neatly round the back of the holder. We can offer the product in a variety of colours, even metallic finishes and special corporate colours are available by request and MOQ. Oh, and we did the packaging & graphic design too!
