Arete - Cyrcle Phone Challenge
Published 2020-08-11T11:20:32+00:00
My design for a Cyrcle phone's ergonomics and shape are based on rock climbing mounts, Logitech M570, and various grip designs.
I love my Logitech M570 mouse for CADing and it fits perfectly in my hand so I designed a similar shape on the back of this phone. Unlike my mouse though, this is symmetrical and fair for both left and right handed people.
With an area for fingers to grab, the user can freely pinch the side and the back without feeling the need to have large hands extended to reach past the diameter of the device. Based on rock wall mounts, this configuration offers a variety of ways to grip the device securely.
Arete is a sharp mountain ridge describing the shape of the curve. Wikipedia defines Arete also means "excellence of any kind".
Thank you for viewing my post. I stumbled upon this challenge kinda late so I didn't have much time to make complex edits. The model was printed in vase mode and almost failed but I used it to demonstrate the various grips you can use on the phone. Probably works better as a phone case or a custom case.
