The other ones:

And today evening I will print a case for my recently upgraded trusty old iPod:

Update:

After a few changes the second prototype came out great, files also available for free now on my printables:

    Have you tried printing with infill but no top or bottom layer? You can get a pretty nice look with stuff like exposed gyroid infill.

      I did this for a few inserts for like glasses holders and stuff, but not yet for smartphone cases. Wouldn’t it then also expose the top of the edges? Also I think it would probably collect very fast, very much dirt in my pockets :D

        It depends how thick the top edge is. You can also enable ironing to smooth out the top and make it less visible.

        I don’t think it’s much worse than your examples with holes in them.

          Hmm… the top edge is round, so it might work. Maybe I will give that I try :)

          The dirt gets trough the hex-holes to the phone, yes. But I believe in the gyroid infill it will get stuck somewhere in between and then not be easy to clean (depending on the type of dirt :D)
