Description:
This consumer product is an accessory that provides enhanced usability to mobile phones and tablets.The latest design of our "Band" is two parts:
1. Round Base that attaches to the back of the phone (made from a low-friction polymer like polyethylene)
2. A "band" that overlaps with the Round Base (1) and rotates/spins around it. (made from polyethylene over-molded with rubber to provide elasticity to the top band part)
The rubber part of the band elongates so that an individual's finger can be placed underneath the band and above the base. The elasticity part is important so it can accommodate different finger sizes.
The product allows users to hold the phone more securely.
Our current challenge is the design of the "Band" (2). This is where we need the help.
As shown in the attached STL file for the Band, there are two circles on either side of the flap that holds the finger down. These circle were put there to provide some added elasticity to the rubber piece.
While it does functionally work well, the current design does not look durable or very elegant.
We'd like to rethink the band design to make it look incredibly user-friendly, allowing the band to stretch upright to accommodate different finger sizes, while being functionally superior to the current design.
Designer will need to provide STL files for my prototyping company to be able to work with.
Wants:
Looking for: 1. the most aesthetically pleasing design
2. One that considers usability (user sliding in their finger and feeling secure)
3. Understand the implications of tooling design -- we don't want to have to make an injection molding tool that is massively expensive due to a complicated design.

Hello Everyone, thank you so much for participating in our contest!
It was a difficult decision, with all the great entries, but we selected two winners that we felt best matched our criteria.

Hi PJCAD, i will message you too, but at this time, i dont have other formats available right now. Only STL. Hope you can find a way to open them!
Dear MAS,
I would like to take part in your contest, I just have some problems with opening your STL files. Could you please upload parts to the attachment in other formats than STL?
Thank you in advance,
PJCAD

I have just uploaded the "base" STL. I did not realize that I had not included that in the original STL files.
Here are the parts explained:
## Band ##
HEB v2 rigid - The rigid part of the "Band"
HEB v2 - The soft/flexible part of the "Band" (The rigid part is over-molded with rubber to make this stretchy component of the "band")
## Base ##
Base X4 - The part that attaches to the phone. This part is inserted into the "band" through the side opening.

(Koozie) can holder
I want to design a koozie can holder that is able to hold slim and regular sized cans that is made out of collapsible material. I want the product to fold flat like a puck to store in the pocket when not in use but able to hold slim and regular sized cans when used, The size of a normal can is 2.6 in in diameter and 4.8 in tall and a slim can is 2.25in in diameter and 4.8in tall
Smart City Sensor Wall Mount - IoT
We are building a "smart city" type sensor that will be located underground. It will have a wired connection to a Cellular Communicator that uses cellular networks to send the sensor data to cloud server. City employees will mount the Cellular Communicator to walls around the city so that it gets a strong signal. It could be mounted to the wall of a commercial or residential building, in urban or rural environments.
Pictures of the Cellular Communicator are attached.
We need a design for a plastic Wall Mount Bracket that will be used to attach the Cellular Communicator to the wall. We don't want it to stand out, instead we want most people not to notice it, and homeowners to not be bothered by it being mounted on their side or back wall! It should be easy to manufacture by injection mold, and simple to install.
Please provide image files and any neutral CAD file format showing your Wall Bracket design. Images should show how the Communicator fits into the Bracket, and how the Bracket fits against a wall.
