IPhone 5 / 5S X Case

thingiverse

This iPhone case was designed with full corner coverage while maintaining the phone's thin, light feel. It has two printed pieces that lock together using pressure from the phone itself, allowing compatibility with charging docks like iHome. The standard version features holes for an industrial look, while a Makerbot special edition is also available. If you like the design, consider ordering one from Shapeways in smooth nylon print. The case's design and printing were challenging due to its fully wrapped corners. To connect the separate pieces, a rabbet interlock was created that aligns and locks the segments together without turning. The segments are placed on the phone in a specific order, then pressed into each other until firmly seated. To remove, lift the second segment in the middle and slide off. This case prints well using PLA with .1 layer thickness and no raft is needed on a leveled bed. Feedback is always welcome. Enjoy!
