Project Details

We collaborated with STM to help define the customer for the Element Spectre case range. Our design team identified the style cues, materials and finishes end users would align with.

We created four ranges –

Illusion, the budget offering with a clear tinted back and TPU bumper;Shadow, a slightly more expensive with a plastic single piece case with soft touch back;Vapor, with a cool aluminium front and plastic back bumper caseand Enigma, the most expensive case, with leather back and machined aluminium body

We fast tracked the new smart phone case range development over a compressed timeframe of nine months, towards the release of a new iPhone model, without knowing exactly what the specific device details and geometry would be. Our experienced designers de-risked the design to make sure the product required as little re-work as possible for production, once the new iPhone was released.
