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:

    Oh of course I’d print them in TPU. I was just saying that because I have no experience with printing it and if the ugly side is as ugly with TPU. That’s my only concern with printing a phone case. I’m pretty new to 3d printing so I only just learned some the limitations and the ugly side of things lol.

      Ah okay, then I got you wrong. I edited my last comment with a picture that shows the supports, so you get an idea where the „ugly“ parts would occur. I made good experiences with gas lighters (not normal ones, the ones which flames look a bit like a blowtorch). With these you can carefully warm the TPU and try to make the ugly parts a little more beautiful. You can as well use a clean soldering iron to iron the ugly parts a bit more flat.

        I see that. Doesn’t look too bad. Appreciate the picture. I’ll have to do some experimenting trying what you’ve suggested.
