The Solution to an iPhone user’s #1 problem.
Kaulin Galluzzo & Storm Hamilton
Falcon X
• Being iPhone Users we know the major problem that
Headphones are. They get lost,
tangled very easily, and many people
don’t have them when they need them.
• We needed to have a system that
went into the case but also fit neatly
and still comfortable to hold.
Understand: The Problem
• We decide to look at other products that had the capability to wrap up cords automatically
• One thing that came to mind was a retractable
mouse
• We looked into the ratio between the size of the
center retractable part and the length of the cord.• But for the case we decided on a hard ABS plastic
inner shell
and a rubberized outer coating

-The Retractable Headphones must be detachable and the iPhone case must be held comfortably with and without the special retractable headphone piece.
-Also the Retractable Headphones must be small enough to fit on the case but also large enough to carry enough cord for the user.
Define: Clarifying Requirements
• We wanted a design that was easily detachable with no hassle
• We decided on adding threads to the case to allow easy attachment and detachment.
• We also needed a small part to hold the cords in place. Should be located so they aren’t in the way of the user.
