I went through a few iterations to make this case perfect. There's a few features that make it really good:

  • Buttons are all have a good click to them.  No inconvenient holes, all buttons are covered, including the action button.
  • The case has a tight grip on the phone, doesn't slide out easily.
  • Case also has a cutout to add an extra mgsafe ring you can buy on Aliexpress.
  • Camera bump guard is split from the case, so you can print it in different materials like PLA or TPU and different colors.
  • Added two versions:
    • one with a nice honeycomb pattern
    • another simple without any pattern
  • relatively easy to print without bulging or other critical problems

Assembly:

  • insert the camera bump guard first in the right direction
  • finally insert your phone!

How to print:

  • TPU 95: a strong flexible filament is required for the case
  • Camera bump guard can be print in TPU or PLA.
  • Use supports on tight overhangs on the case like the buttons and speaker and port bridges.
  • I recommend 15% infill, for better clickiness of buttons.
  • If you want the cool effect to highlight the honeycomb pattern in a different colour, you'll need to add a stop at layer 2 and 3. This means you'll start with TPU, change to the other colour at layer 2 and revert to TPU at layer 3.

Update log:

  • 2023-11-04: added more tolerance on buttons inside face (0.2) to make them better for clicking with less pressure on the button. Also added a fillet on the inner side of the case overhang to make it less stringy.
  • 2023-11-07: re-built with more accurate dimensions and more streamlined buttons and honeycomb pattern.
  • 2023-11-08: More tolerance around action buttons and deeper button trenches around the button
  • 2023-11-10: pulled back 1mm off the top boarder and smoothened it out so that it doesn't interfere with the screen gestures off the sides.
  • 2023-11-11: added chamfers to the edges of the case to make the print bulging proof and a better design altogether. Also added a cutout to add an extra magsafe ring you can get on amazon or aliexpress with an inner diameter of 43mm and outer diameter of 48mm max.
  • 2023-11-13: changed buttons to removable buttons with a cutout. This makes their “clickability” much much nicer and also ads more opportunities for personalizing the case with colors!
  • 2023-11-14: improved placing of camera bump cutout and a fillet that makes the camera bump flish with the phone.
