A Clear Resin Phone Case Embeds a Vertical Terrarium The Terrarium Phone Case, developed by Daniel Idle, integrates a planted environment into the structure of a smartphone accessory. Designed for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, the project incorporates soil, moss, and small-scale vegetation within a transparent enclosure, positioning the device as both a functional object and a contained ecological system. The case is developed through 3D modeling and fabricated in clear resin, allowing visibility of the internal composition. A vertical terrarium is embedded within the structure, using a stabilised soil substrate that maintains the arrangement of materials during handling. This configuration enables the phone to be used, moved, and rotated without disturbing the planted environment. all images courtesy of Daniel Idle A Closed-Loop Planting System Integrated into a Phone Case The planting system focuses on mosses and species suited to enclosed conditions.…
