A case that protects the display and charges the phone

One of the 100 prototypes that Yezz has proposed for Google’s Project Ara is a solar panel in the shape of a cellphone cover: it both protects the display and transforms solar energy to power the phone.

The case

Another idea for a cellphone cover is one that turns into an alternative display when you open it. This secondary display would show notifications and reminders.

The pieces and the body

The body features a series of slots in which the modules are placed.

The front

The front of the body has two slots: one for the camera and the other for the display.

The display

This case becomes an additional display that shows notifications and reminders. Once the case is folded, it protects the phone.

The module

The case-display prototype would become one of the modules that constitutes the phone.

Front and back

The modules were printed in 3D to recreate a Project Ara phone.

The body

The phone’s skeleton was designed by Google.

The modules' design

Miami-based Yezz is one of the companies that are designing and creating the modules for Project Ara’s phones.

Yezz modules

One of the 100 modules that Yezz is proposing consists of a solar panel that charges the device.

Limitless ideas

This design conceives of a module that serves as a breathalyzer.

Project Ara

The idea behind Project Ara is based on a series of modules that the consumer con put together to build a personalized phone.

Gaming module

Another idea for a module is a video-game controller that would connect to your phone by snapping it into one of the slots in the back of the device.

Modules everywhere

Yezz has presented 100 ideas for modules that may materialize before the end of 2015.

Latinos behind Project Ara

Yezz’s Luis Sosa and José Luis Zreik, of Venezuela, will test the modules in Puerto Rico in the coming months.
