Postal Presents.

My idea behind this design was to try and have a product that would keep together the TV, DVD, Radio and any otehr remotes. I found that we constantly loose our remotes, finding them in the strangest places and often under the couch. To have some saught of container to keep the remote in would help encourage the user to place the remote back in a certain place and limit the chances of loosing the remote.


After a number of tests, it was easiest to make the product out of Polypro, and use snap lock buttons to hold the polypro together and give it some strength and rigidity.

A little late but lucky i'm a keener and i checked to see if you posted anything.
This is a cool looking product but it would help if i knew who the target market was for because then i would know why you chose the colour and the overall shape of this product.

I like how it all comes together, the way you used buttons to clip all the edges together. The only problem is that with the black polypropylene, it now sort of looks like some kinky object. It looks like its meant to do more so it may be a bit confusing when a visitor comes in and starts to fiddle around with it to see if it opens or something.

nice idea you have here, remotes do constantly get out of sight and this is a very smart idea!

The product matches the remote quite well and it ends up being a nice fit overall.

however the only thing i want to say about it is the buttons do stand out abit!
