Design Appreciation

Nintendo Wii slippery controller
This is poorly designed as it is slippery and people playing Wii Sports swing their hands holding the remote so the remote may slip from their hands and fly at the TV.
MacBook Pro razor-sharp case
This is poorly designed as the sides of the bottom of the Macbook Pro is sharp and if people use the Macbook Pro for a long time with their hands resting on the Macbook Pro, their wrists will be injured.
Dyson AIr multiplier fan with no blades
This is a well designed product as it acts like a fan blowing wind towards you except that it does not have blades so it is safe for children.
One Touch™ Can Opener
This is a well designed product.It is a can opener which you do not need to use any strength to open the can. Just place it on the can then press the green button and it should help you open the can.It prevents you from getting injured when you try to open the can.
