Inside Belkin, Part 3: A Slideshow of the Prototypes for the TrueClear Pro

In Part 2 of our Belkin visit, we interviewed VP of Design Oliver Seil on the developmental story of their TrueClear Pro, which seamlessly applies screen protectors to smartphones. Arriving at the final iterations of the product took a lot of prototyping! Here’s how they went from crazy idea to market-ready solution.

System evolution from early Eden and CNC prototypes (left) to final prototypes (right, green colored). The leftmost two are early mechanical prototype concepts that were not taken further. The green one at right is the final first generation True Clear Pro machine. The one just to the left of the green is an early version (development prototype) of the final one
