MAGSAFE WALLFLOWER for SMARTISH (in-house)

Industrial Design | Product Development | CMF | DFM

I led the design and development of the Smartish Wallflower, a 3-in-1 phone accessory for MagSafe compatible phone cases.

The Magsafe Wallflower combines a suction mount, finger loop grip, and kickstand in one compact grip. It easily mounts your iPhone to smooth surfaces, provides a secure grip with the finger loop, and props up your phone for hands-free use.

Design Details:

• The wallflower is constructed from zinc alloy for structural rigidity, silicone suction cups for temporary adhesion to smooth surfaces, and integrated magnets for MagSafe interface compatibility.

• The magnetic system is dimensioned and aligned for consistent coupling with MagSafe-enabled devices and cases, allowing for stable use in grip, kickstand, and suction-mounted configurations. The silicone suction array provides temporary attachment to non-porous substrates such as glass, tile, and polished metal, with an approximate hold duration of up to one hour under nominal load conditions.

• The design eliminates adhesive interfaces, relying solely on mechanical and vacuum-based retention methods to maintain reusability and surface integrity.
