It is finally available. Mobile smartphones that have a curved surface. We are always interested in new technologies because it is our job to come up with really cool promotional phone cases that keep up to date with the latest handsets.

1. LG curved phones are flexible and durable.
2. Curved screen phones have advantages.
3. Custom branded phone cases increase exposure.

This particular model by LG is the most interesting design we have seen in a long long time. Even compared with the Apple 5s device this LG model is something special. Why? Well for starters it is not only curved but it is also flexible. This would render most cases and covers obsolete, unless they can flex with the phone. There are also many other aspects of this phone that makes it totally unique. Allow me to list them out here:

Durability

Here are the reasons why this LG smartphone is a must-have:

  • It is flexible making its surface screen crack resistant as a result. The LG phone may be placed on a surface and pressed down flat. Actually it can not only bend flat, but it can bend right into the other direction too. You know they encourage you to bend it too because some functions can only be activated by bending it.
  • It is durable to knocks and drops because the structure is not as rigid as regular phones. The amount of impact the unit will absorb will be a lot less than comparable conventional phones. As a result this means a

    What started out with good intentions has turned out to be a little bit of a disaster for fashion giant Zara. Lately they released a line of pajama tops for toddlers between 3 months to 3 years. They wanted to make the garment cute, so they created a striped top with a Sheriff's badge. On the badge it is printed the word "sheriff," This particular design as innocent as it may sound has caused a small controversy. The reason? Well the design is very eerily similar to the uniforms warn by the victims of the Holocaust.


    1. Be diligent about creating custom products.
    2. Don't overlook potential symbolism or messages in products.
    3. Inclusive branding, avoid exclusionary practices.

    Zara's Response

    Now Zara was very quick to respond to the growing online concerns about the design and has quickly stopped taking orders for the shirt and has taken it off the shelves in their stores and on their website. They apologized across several social media channels in several different languages. It seems like it was an honest oversight.

    This example does highlight how easy it is to cause offense without even realizing it. History, culture and modern acceptable social etiquette when combined with the speed of communication through social media has meant that firms have had to be more and more diligent when it comes to creating custom products and promotional clothing that can accidentally cause offense.

    Tips To Avoid Controversial Garments

    If you are creating merchandise or using promotional items it will certainly be worthwhile to consider if your product may cause offense unintentionally. There is no easy way to precisely avoid products that cause controversy, however creating a mini checklist and speaking to lots of people from different backgrounds will definitely help.

    • Is the product fit for the occasion (a personalised stubby cooler for a year 12 graduate is an example of a bad idea)
    • Does the print cause direct offense. Similarly does the print directly reference a person or a group of people. If so pay very close attention to each word.
    • Does the design resemble something else? This Zara case is a perfect case in point

    A checklist will vary from business to business. The best way would be simply to speak to many different people who vary in age and cultural background to obtain a broad perspective on what you are trying to create.

    Businesses' Mistake: Key Lessons

    Here are the important lessons that businesses can learn from their mistakes when designing and selling merchandise:

    • Research cultural and historical symbols prior if unsure before delving into merchandising campaigns.
    • Context matters! Just like how one wouldn't crack a coronavirus joke at someone who had lost their loved ones due to it, some events are quite sensitive and need extra consideration before designing merchandise related to it.
    • Some forms of expression may be perceived differently depending on which side one was in the issue/situation so watch out for them!
    • Look within - speak to people within different departments internally such as design teams/historians/PR experts etc who may flag any issues up early rather than later when costs might have accumulated already!

    Inclusive Branding Avoidance Strategies

    Inclusive branding is about creating a welcoming environment for all customers and avoiding any exclusionary practices. Here are the strategies to help your brand steer clear of exclusive messaging or products that could alienate or offend people.

    • Your promotional product will reflect directly on your brand. Ensure that it's something that fits with your values and is well-made.
    • Consider how the item will be used. Is it practical and useful, or just another throwaway item?
    • Appealing to your target audience matters. Shouldn't a tech company have more gadget-oriented giveaways compared to gym membership freebies?
    • Steer clear of anything controversial or offensive. While shock factor has benefits, too much can harm instead.

    Takeaway

    In today's fast-paced world, it is easy to inadvertently offend someone with your products. With social media and communication being so widespread, any controversy can spread like wildfire and cause irreparable damage to a brand's reputation. Therefore, it is essential for businesses to do their research before designing merchandise or promotional items. Conducting due diligence on cultural and historical symbols and speaking to people from different backgrounds will enable you to create inclusive products that appeal to everyone while avoiding controversies that could harm your brand. Ultimately, creating a welcoming environment for all customers should be at the heart of any branding strategy.

Advantages of a Curved Screen

Being the proud owner of a smartphone with a curved screen is impressive in and of itself, but here are some of its benefits:

  • The screen has a larger surface for content in a shorter form factor. There simply is more surface space for a smaller footprint when a phone is curved.
  • It avoids glare and reflections. As the screen is concave it means that light is reflected away resulting in a viewable surface that always looks clear. So no more staring at your own reflection anymore!
  • In a back pocket or on your face a curved surface is more natural enabling your voice to be closer to the microphone. Afterall human's face has a curved structure and nobody's face is straight.

  • Affordable price range: Customizing products might sound expensive initially but great providers offer cost-effective solutions without compromising quality standards so it becomes easily approachable for small businesses too!

Branded Phone Cover Guidelines

When selecting an ideal personalised phone case for your business or organization there are certain things worth considering:

  • Your target audience's preferences regarding the types of phones they use should be taken into account.
