The Orbital Phone was designed by collaborators Patricia Tait, Mario Garza, Richard Williams and Mary-Anna Bowen. This product design is an innovative phone case that features a ring so that the user can slip the phone comfortably on and not worry about dropping it.
The phone fits snuggly into your hand and because of its 360 degree rotational design, you never have to worry about incorrect orientation. The finger loop is flexible to eliminate dropping and still allow the phone to be stored in a pocket. The case also boasts a dual microphone and speaker on each end for easier calling and can be used for the left or right hand.
The concept for the Orbital Phone was created for a young generation of works who have lost the use of their dominant arm or has balance issues. It was also created for a user that needs to multipurpose and still have quick access to their phones.
