iphone case - Design Challenge Winner 2012 "My best work has always come from following instinct. Any time I think too much or too long I usually end up trashing whatever it is I'm working on. And following instinct is how I came to create Computer iPhone. I was sitting at my computer, my iPhone plugged in next to me. After thinking about what factors would be cool and functional on an iPhone case, I grabbed a piece of the broken computer that my husband had in the office, and took some pictures. I did my editing. Now Computer iPhone has been added to my list of great accomplishments, and I am so proud to be working with UncommonGoods." See all creations.

Naomi's design - putting the inner technology on the outside - is so unique. Would you make your iPhone stand out in this uncommon case?
Mark
Vote: Thumbs up!
Apple design is so sleek, minimalist, empty. This case upends their entire design philosophy with one quick snap. I love it.
Adam
Vote: Thumbs up!
the old school techno vibe.

Thank you for the votes and comments so far!

You have to like the irony of "auld".Indeed unique.

Witty.

I like how you can see the dust on the circuit board. Finally, a designer that isn't obsessed with making everything so glossy and fake.
Naomi
Vote: Thumbs up!
Thanks so much, everyone! When I edited my photo there were elements I chose to keep to make this as real as possible.

on a table next to coffee? for who? nerds and geeks maybe.. but i doubt it.. this is too generic and there are so many other similar ideas out there..

I would buy this and give it as a gift. great idea!
Florence

Vanna
Vote: Thumbs up!
This looks really interesting
Naomi
Vote: Thumbs up!
Thank you! Since an iPhone case is supposed to protect our phones, I also think that if dropped or bumped, my design would prove to be less obvious with dirt, scratches, and wear and tear. I really appreciate everyone's comments and votes.

A little too predictable.

The juxtaposition of old school circuit boards on a 21st century forward phone is really nice.

All too often, we fail to appreciate what's inside.

Thanks so much, everyone! Keep on sharing so this case can become a reality! I'm so thankful that so many people like my design so far.

I find the image obvious, but completely consumable to nerd culture.
Naomi
Vote: Thumbs up!
I wanted to say thank you again. To those I know, and those I don't know who appreciate this design. The votes and comments mean so much. I also wanted to say that I do think that this design has universal appeal (with the rise of digital age I think the terms like "nerd" have faded). I created the design thinking that it would be a funky and ironic twist covering an iPhone. And I think people are appreciating that. I thank you guys so much.
Caroline
Vote: Thumbs up!
I love the idea and vote thumbs up, but it's not original. I bought a circuit board photo case for someone for Christmas last year.
Naomi
Vote: Thumbs up!
Caroline I wanted to thank you for your vote and comment. The design is original to me, as I hadn't seen it before. I grabbed a motherboard from our home and edited it to work on a case. But I also appreciate that if you bought something similar, I guess that means there's a market for it, which is good too! :)
Katie
Vote: Thumbs down!
This case would make me think that I had accidentally picked up some of my husbands computer parts and that I was going to destroy them! The thought frightens me!
Naomi
Vote: Thumbs up!
Thank you to everyone who came to vote and comment in this round!

This is just a snapshot of the interior of any piece of technology. IMHO There's not much going for it in terms of composition or color. Golly, I really don't like this.
Nancy
don't have an ipphone
Kathy
I don't have an iPhone.
Evie
I wouldn't purchase it for myself, but I can see where people would.
Patricia
I would want a case that was a fashion statement not a fashion understatement.
