It was the words, “I will not forget”, inscribed at the back of the Pod Case, that had me jumping on the bandwagon of C.O Design Labs latest design project. Designed by product-and-graphic designer Joyce Kang, the Pod Case takes us down memory lane to the days when the must-have tech device was the miniature iPod.

How you might ask? Well, it allows Pod Case user to pop their Apple watch-face into the silicone case, giving the Apple Watch wearer a different user experience.

Disappointing? Yes, but I am optimistic that the non-functional wheel could, in theory, function via Bluetooth.
