Designer Ronen Kadushin has brought wit, Ivesian minimalism, and a little good old-fashioned sledgehammering to bear on the iPhone Killer, a truly “powerful and open” head made of laser-cut steel on an axe handle. (You can put the two together as you would an axe.)
As a bonus, “The iPhonekiller is compatible with all iPhone models, also the future ones, and with iPads.”
From the iPhone Killer’s Steve Jobs-style product pitch:
Whenever a new hand held device, or new exciting smartphone hits the market, a questions roars through the internets, tech blogs and news: Is this the iPhone killer? The answer is always…well…not quite, not yet…. So I was thinking, maybe these guys who make these devices are not looking at the right place for that iPhone killer. Why don’t I scratch that dream product itch, and transform this buzzword into a real product that it’s soul purpose is to do what it claims to be…..
I’d like to introduce you to the iPhonekiller….It’ amazing…
It is an open design, you can download it from my website, produce and use it. It is 1.6 Kg , 25mm ( 3.5 lbs, 1 inch) of precision laser cut steel, with a fantastic 36 cm wood ax handle. You can just feel the awesome power of it when you hold it in your hand..It’s amazing…….
Kadushin encourages his readers to modify his design and email him with their experiences and suggestions.
