Bumper Oneplus 5T

thingiverse

I designed this bumper for my OnePlus 5T. I'm a big fan of bumpers because they allow me to see the back of the phone instead of covering it up with a standard case. Since I couldn't find one that fit my needs, I took matters into my own hands and created one myself. For those who may not know what a bumper is, it's essentially a regular phone case without the back piece. This type of cover offers several advantages over traditional cases. One major benefit is that you can see the entire back of your phone instead of hiding it underneath a solid surface. To create my custom bumper, I used PLA and TPU printing materials. As you can see from the photos, I employed red PLA at the bottom to enhance structural integrity due to the fact that this part doesn't have any protection on its underside. Without the back piece in place, the case becomes much more prone to damage. I printed the black portion of the bumper using TPU to achieve a flexible design similar to commercial bumpers. However, I'm unable to capture an image of it in use because my phone is my only camera and I don't know how to work around this limitation. If you like what I've created, please let me know! If you decide to print one for yourself, I'd love to hear about your experience.
