Shure's New Packaging
(20 September 2007) - We all dislike the over-sized, plastic, clam packaging that comes with electronic products. Not because it makes it harder to steal, but because it seems like a waste of materials and, at times, they are difficult to open. Shure identified this problem and asked Combined Technologies to create a new type of packaging for the Shure Music Phone Adapter. The goal was to reduce...

Note Book & Pencil
(02 March 2006) - Let's be honest, as much as we try to go electronic, we're all still scribbling away on paper, writing todo notes, stock ideas, and grocery lists on plain old parchment. And as long as we're writing on paper, we're going to need a pen or a pencil. Designers "Sam and Jude" deserve a great big thanks for making our lives a little bit easier...

I was most impressed with the protective materials that safely suspended the MacBook. With clear reference...
