Contest Brief

We're a startup looking to hopefully work with a CAD/Product designer on a series of projects. As a way to find a freelancer to work with we're putting up this contest as a test to show off your design skills and creativity. Great designs are usually the simplest. We're looking for someone who can design in a way that fulfills the product needs in the simplest way possible.

We want an iPhone case to be designed and ready to 3D print from Shapeways using versatile plastic (Nylon12). The case must be small and sleek, but have some important features built into the design. It must have moveable pieces to block out both the front and rear cameras. Also, try to come up with a creative way to to muffle or block the microphone at the bottom of the phone. This should be moveable as well so that it could be used easily when needed.

This design should fit an iPhone 7, which has a screen size of 4.7 inches. Exact measurements and dimensions can be found online.

I've added some design ideas in the attachments. Please let us know if you have any questions. Here are a recap of the requirements below:

1. 3D CAD Design for iPhone 7
2. Proof that it fulfills the printing requirements set by Shapeways.com for Nylon 12. (i.e. try to upload it and see if the site will let you print it but DO NOT ACTUALLY ORDER)
3. Easily block/unblock front and back cameras of the phone.
4. Block/Unblock microphone at bottom of the phone. Either through a movable piece or maybe a thicker plastic piece at the bottom of the case that could be opened.
5.***Keep it Simple***

    Please focus on how your design will be 3D printed. Will it all be one piece? Will there be many pieces that will require assembly? We would prefer one piece if possible. Please try uploading your design to Shapeways to see if it passes their printing requirements.
