‘smart phone note’ by nothing design group

‘smart phone note,’ by korean designer jin-woog koo of nothing design group, combines the multimodal utility of the iPhone with the time-tested ease of traditional note-taking. hailing itself a ‘notebook for the post-digital generation,’ the product provides iPhone storage together with a paper notebook for ease of portability in the many situations that might require both objects.
