The initial shape of the PhoneBlok is rectangular but the problem i find with a rectangular shape is the corners. I recently got an LG and it is rectangular and i find the corners bug me because they keep digging into my palm so if we eliminate the corners and round them instead it might be more comfortable for the user.
this is a good idea to eliminate the ergonomic factor of the smartphone design. but the team would have to redesign almost everything if i’m not mistaken.
yes you can make curve on the phone bloks, but i was talking about the modules, the one you would be placing on the phoneblok board. especialy all other bloks that users probably put it there.
or just get a curved cover for itsimple as that the blocks have to be rectangularotherwise suggest another shape which can be packaged in a small area
Or we should just have people tell us what they think of the squared edges when we come out with the prototype
urmm, sorry, i actually didn’t explain it correctly, that’s my fault. Reshaping PhoneBloks means reshaping the whole thing which means the internal circuitry needs to be re-adjusted. cause reshaping a module to have a curve or round edges requires the internal chipboard too to be redesign to be fitted inside a curve edge module. Eg : picturePlus, there will be PhoneBlok casing which can be constructed to be fitted with round edges while still maintaining the square edges of the phone itself.
hello all,well if we talk about the shape of the phone the things just can remain simple, all we can do is add a curved body to the phone, u can have different cover shapes(body) for the phone, + the cover will add few good security feature to the phone,it can give the users a better and cool look and they can also select their own color or the cover to explain my point further more,there can bedifferent shape covers,may it be edge,curve, etc
