CardBoard Case

Jump to Comments

For the last few weeks I have been working towards my final project hand-ins, however I did put aside some time to carry out my own project

Here is my cardboard MacBook Case which I designed having been inspired by previous posts.

It took me about two days to make using corrugated cardboard, PVA, a scalpel and steel rule. I lined the inside with black felt for a little protection and plan to coat it in egg whites to make it water proof, however I am still researching this. I chose the apple logo, basically because I love my computer, although future designs could incorporate a more personal touch, a detail connected to me or a specific discipline.

The finished case raises a few questions… could this be the first environmentally friendly case? It could be a starting point. Why could this not be the new way to buy your laptop? How many of us actually still have or use our packaging which we bought our computers in?
