Better than a "Good Design"

The Dieter Rams 10 Principles of "Good Design"

In class we discussed the concepts that make up a good design.  Innovation, usefulness, aesthetics, understandability, unobtrusiveness, honesty, long-lasting, down to the last detail, environmentally friendly, and possible.

By converging all of these concepts in a design, the company LifeProof has designed a case for the iPhone that protects the phone from liquid, scratches, dirt and resistant to impacts.  Regardless of the fact that the case is completely sealed, the resonance chamber for the microphone and ear piece allows for the user to talk and listen while the phone is protected.  There is a door at the bottom of the case that allows the user to charge their phone without removing the case (though it is not sealed from the elements during this process.  For those that enjoy listening to music while they workout, there is a removable plug at the top of the case that allows for a earphone jack to be inserted and with the provided adaption will maintain the integrity of the water seal, allowing the phone to be carried and operated in such environments as a swimming pool.
Strong, a pleasing design that offers a multitude of color options, and adaptations that allow the use of phone functions while providing the most protection possible make up a case for the iPhone that hardly takes up more space than the phone itself.
