Justification for selected design:
I chose the elongated case as it supported the portable idea of it, being able to put it in your pocket and have it be comfortable. The perfect square case, the case would not be easy to carry around as it would bulge out and be hard to put in the pocket. The elongated case marks better in everything but the results were the same as the perfect square case, but in the idea of portability, the elongated case just makes better sense.

Construct and Test
Test data and analysis:
Our test data failed as our measurements were too small to have tested it and we needed to scale our case up.

Evaluate Solution
Meets the criteria of needing holes that the earbuds cannot poke out of, as well as met the requirement of being very easy of sliding in and out of pockets.
present solution
The decision matrix had the elongated case, square case, and fat case. The elongated case matched perfectly with our need to have the case slide in and out of pockets very easily. The square case made it look bumpy and very hard to put in the pocket. And lastly, the fat case made it easy too slide in, but had a likelihood of breaking since of the way it would be inserted into the pocket.
