Cell phones went from simply for calling purpose, to adding game applications, cameras, music, and much more. And the new type of communication, texting, has almost dominated the direct call system.

Naoto Fukasawa has designed a flipped cell phone with a multi-angle surface. Fukasawa noticed the texture of flat surfaced cells is unnatural for some people, and they would feel more comfortable with a rougher surface. Moreover, when people often put their cell phones in their jeans pocket, it will not easily slip out and drop on the floor. Commonly, there will be typed keys designed on cell phones, such as the business-friendly BlackBerry. However, touch screen cell phones become popularly used.

The touch and how it holds is important to every person; the shape of the cell phone matters. Some designs are more rectangular and sharper edges which give a sense of clean and power; whereas, curvilinear cell phones are some times smoother to hold and feminine.

But there are several asymmetric cell phones. For example, they design a clock slightly placed to the right on the front of a flip phone. Consumers also often have their personal preference for the size of their cell phone screens. Furthermore, there are designs for phones to flip side ways; these are usually for people who prefer texting.
