iPhone cases
3D printing’s rise from industrial use to everyday homes, driven by its speed, affordability, and creative freedom, inspired a personal hobby project: a retro phone case. What started as a design for personal use quickly gained traction within my social circle, leading to requests for more. I then simplified the design for user assembly, prepared a wordless, visual-only assembly guide and it’s now available as CAD files download or 3D-printed parts for assembly, shipped on demand from Etsy.
The product line offers a standardized selection of aesthetic finishes while remaining adaptable to customer-specific customizations. The CAD models have been developed to comprehensively cater to the iPhone 11 series and all subsequent generations.
Following the popularity of the retro case, I created a slimmer, simpler phone case for a more minimalist aesthetic. Its innovative wrap-around design uses identical, Snap-on clips for effortless assembly. A key feature is the customizable backplate, allowing users to add their own patterns, text, textures, and color schemes.

The quality is soo good to the point where it doesn’t feel cheap and it comes with spare parts if you such as clips and different color buttons. Highly recommend this seller as they have a quick customer service and reply quite quickly with anything you need answering!
Great item. Awesome design. Better than other 3D printed phone cases. Good color selection too.
So I asked for specific color combos and personality. He delivered. Beyond expectations. The buttons were just a teensy bit too long that when my phone was inserted, the buttons would be permapressed. I fixed this by using a match to melt the plastic end a and revove a bit with a knife. (Im leaving this in so the seller knows to adjust this) but it was such an easy fix that I’m still beyond satisfied. This is literally my favorite phone case ever and I’ve had tons! Get it, you won’t regret it!
