Iphone Accesory

By: Michael Wiener IPhone Accessory

Purpose

The IPhone 4 and 4s have an inherent problem of their screens and back plates cracking. The screens crack because of sudden shock to the brittle glass thats used for the screen and back plate. My design incorporates aerospace materials to absorb the shock caused by falls and drops.My design is also less intrusive and bulkier than other cases because of the materials its made out of.

Design The design of my case is meant to be as intrusive as possible. Adding only 4 2 thousandths of an inch to the overall thickness of the iPhone. This design is accomplished by the use of aerospace materials and a lamination process to the phone.

Materials The main material of the case is carbon fiber that has been cured into very thin sheets. A very thin sheet of Lexan is also added to cover the screen to protect it from scratches and sudden shock that may cause cracking. A rubber adhesive is applied between the carbon fiber plates that cover the glass to attach them and still be removable.
