Sheesh.
Why didn't Samsung produce a couple of other "shape" options - say, a similarly-sized rectangular block with square edges, a circular block, and maybe a triangular one just for fun (my dad the hobbyist machinist could turn these out in a hour or two) and let the jury try to use them as if they were an actual phone. The obviousness of a rectangular case with rounded edges becomes apparent immediately, and the screen that follows that shape becomes obvious immediately after that. And as far as "rows of colorful icons goes" - Windows, anybody? NeXTstep? Mac? Xerox PARC? The list of prior art is overwhelming.
What this one says to me is that juries are ridiculously easy to convince.

Also doesn't say much about Samsung's lawyers, if they couldn't arrange to do what swmech suggested. Seems to be the poor obvious design patent equivalent of all the <any old thing> "on the internet!" patents we had to deal with.

There is something wrong with this case. I have no idea what it is. Maybe all the jurors have Apple phones?
