Nokia Contest: Share your Best 3D Printed Lumia 820 Case Idea, Win a Trip to MWC 2013

Nokia is holding a great new contest over on their IdeasProject portal, making use of their recent love of 3D Printing to create cases for the Lumia 820.

They’re going all out with this one too! All you have to do is share a cool design for a Nokia Lumia 820 mobile phone case, and if it’s awesome enough, you’ll be right there at Mobile World Congress to see the latest in mobile as soon as it’s announced!

The introduction goes:

[quote_simple]3D Printing is quickly becoming the next big thing in technology and we want to help you join in the fun with your own designs and ideas. This is your chance to share your design ideas for the Nokia Lumia 820. Simply share a cool design for a Nokia Lumia 820 mobile phone case.

There are two aspects of the design that you could consider for the shell:

One idea for consideration is the aesthetic design and artistic aspect that would be most embraced by mobile phone users.
A second idea would be a mobile phone case that encompasses a wider aspect of design including both the aesthetics and hardware aspects. (Some examples might be: a case with a larger built-in battery, a case with a built-in heavy duty speakerphone that connects via Bluetooth or whatever your dream feature is for a mobile phone case.)
Get creative and provide your best ideas through visuals. Who has the most creative design for mobile phones in our community?! The top 5 ideas will be considered for printing at Mobile World Congress on February 25-28 in Barcelona, Spain. The top 5 winning ideators will have an opportunity to qualify for a flight and accommodations to Mobile World Congress to share in the excitement of the event.* The time is now to paint your vision for the future of 3D printing in mobile with the leading world audience.

You will have now through February 15 to get your idea in and have the possibility of being recognized for your inspiration through participation in Mobile World Congress.[/quote_simple]
