The hardware technology was on point at this stage but the plastic enclosure was left to do.
The task was:
Define the best way to create a housing in the sleekest, tightest way while remaining serviceable and waterproof
Design the part around the existing packaging
Prototype and test
Unique solution:
The industrial requirements of the product meant that the case had to be waterproof and shockproof.
The glass screen being very brittle, it needed a proper, shock absorbing and of course the electronics had to be kept away from moisture.
These 2 constraints came along well for this concept, as a TPE rubber lining got chosen to achieve both, on top of covering the internals as well.
This lining would act as a cushion for the screen, and also as a seal around the edges of the shell.
The whole part being held together simply by latches for easy assembly and disassembly.
