Tablet Case with Corrugated Bottom and Gripping Holes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tablet and mobile phone cases fail to address the difficulty of holding devices securely while allowing easy touchscreen operation, often leading to accidental drops and damage.
Innovation Solution
A case with gripping holes and a corrugated bottom that provides a secure grip and shock protection, featuring a tablet box with releasable holding means and a corrugated bottom with curved bands and strategically placed gripping holes, allowing users to hold the device securely with one hand and operate the touchscreen with the other, while the corrugated design reduces concussion upon falling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users hold the mobile phone or tablet with one hand, then the device can be operated with the other hand, but the device may fall and get damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The case incorporates gripping holes at specific locations on the case body, creating localized grip points that enhance holding security. These holes are strategically positioned to allow users to securely hold the device with one hand while operating it with the other, addressing both ease of operation and device safety concerns
Solution Approach 2:
The case includes a corrugated bottom structure that acts as a shock-absorbing cushion. This pre-designed cushioning structure reduces impact forces when the device falls, providing beforehand protection against damage while maintaining the ability to operate the device comfortably
2Device complexity
If the case has a flat bottom, then it is simple in structure, but it cannot reduce concussion when the device falls
Solution Approach 1:
The case bottom is designed with a corrugated structure featuring curved bands instead of a flat surface. This curved, wave-like structure provides shock-absorbing capabilities when the device falls, while still maintaining relative structural simplicity and ease of manufacturing
3Ease of operation
If the gripping holes are large, then it is easy to grip, but the structural strength is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The gripping holes are positioned in specific locations on the case where they provide effective grip points without compromising overall structural integrity. The strategic placement allows users to apply grip force at optimal locations while maintaining case strength in critical areas
Solution Approach 2:
The gripping holes have optimized dimensions with specific width and length parameters. The width is controlled to be less than half the width of the curved band, creating an optimal balance between grip ease and structural strength that prevents the case from becoming too weak while still allowing comfortable one-handed operation
