Foldable Phone Case Design

Program: SolidWorks

Objective

Using SolidWorks, and the tools and skills given on how to use the program, the main task I chose is designing a product that would solve an issue, with multiple parts to be assembled into a product. My design I did was creating an attachment for a phone. The design based off of this is used from my J7 for measurements as an idea to what the product looks like.

Problems with using a Phone:

  • Screen: When you’re out in the sunlight or inside with bright light, the reflection makes it harder to see the screen, and you have to brighten it up
  • Battery: Due to the usage amount (Whether it’s calls, texting, brightness screen, playing games)
  • Standing: People would stand their phones up to watch videos, or use for their homework, but they would need something stationary.

Parts:

  • Base (x1)
  • Shade Cover /w/ USB Insert (x1)
  • Solar Panel (x1)
  • Triangular Shades (x2)
  • Stand (x1)
  • Tight Long Hinge Rod (x2)
  • Tight Medium Hinge Rod (x1)
  • Foldable Mechanism (x2)
  • Tight Short Hinge Rod (x4)
