Industrial design can be interpreted in many ways.
Seems Apple threw a bone to itself by creating another very well designed, simple product. The iPad Case.
But let’s be honest here. The iPad needed the case from the beginning. Is Apple beginning the policy of selling components?
My gripe:
• Apple, you just missed on the design or cut of the case-top.
Another few millimeters around the edges and you would have nailed it.
Otherwise, an excellent answer to the bare iPad’s predicament.
Industrial design can be quite tricky when it comes to smart phones. One industrial designer, Element 3, has done some amazing work with smart phones. They’re based in Seattle.
