Here’s a flip phone that could put the “cool” back into clamshells. When you receive an incoming call, the corner dog-ears up and if need be, opens up (book-style) using actuators like artificial muscles in its elastomeric cover. Awesome! Motorola StarTAC 2.o maybe?

I don't think the actuators are needed, but this rubberish cover, with touch sensing is cool!

That’s a pretty smart idea. I agree that the actuaters are probably not all that necessary. Seems like the rubber portion needs more functionality to be justified though. What if there was a more extended set of buttons on the inside (so when it’s open like a book you have a bigger qwerty keyboard offscreen maybe) that becomes inactive when folded around to the back?
cool, but what if so much time of doubling it and undoubling it, it breaks?

good concept
like you
I like that idea! It would be cool if the actual flip part was a case you could buy, instead of being built in. You could control it with an app.
