Problem

I have designed a perfect solution for parents whose kids overuse their phones - the Phone Jail.

For those times when you need both functional and visual reminders to the kids that their phone is currently in a time-out.

It is also perfectly suited for those giving themselves a tech-free period to help with social media or other stress-related conditions.

Solution

A lockable rugged box that you can place multiple phones inside. You can choose from the striped version which looks like prison stripes if you choose black and white, if you prefer, the single-colour version works just as well, I chose red for the attention value.

Remix

I have utilised the excellent Rugged Box (Parametric) by Whity, itself a remix of the brilliant Tool box parametric by Yanev.

Features

• Choice of prison stripes or a plain look
• Choose of Lids
• Includes an optional TPU seal*
• Latches are on a separate plate to make it easier to print in a contrasting colour if you choose

Lids

• Plain
• Embossed with “Prison Jail”

Non-printable parts

• 6 x M3x30 bolts (hinges and latches)*
• Optional padlock - hole in case diameter is 5mm‡

* I used these M3x30 Button Head Hex Socket Drive Screws 304 Stainless Steel Button Head Cap Screws (Pack of 100)

‡ I used these Yolev 8 Pieces Suitcase Locks with Keys.
