Printed my own Sleeve

[Absrnd]

I believe this is where the future lies, when you buy a iPhone, you make your own custom accessories.

I bought an Ultimaker 3D printer a while ago, exactly for these kind of things.
as I always like to make my own cases for the iPhone, and for the iPhone 5, I gave it the 3D print treatment.

I was inspired by the Miniot case (their cases are a piece of art btw), and drew the shapes in Rhino3D, and printed it in PLA.

There is a soft liner on the inside, and iPhone fits really snug

Next is a dock for the iPhone with lightning cable holder.

Enjoy

Great work

Nice. How much did it cost to make it yourself? (material, time, electricity)

That's beautiful! I don't even use a case, but I'd make an exception for that one. Nice job.

looks nice ... however is there a possible issue with the phone falling out?

I'd think you might want a slot at the end to plug headphones in (slot vs hole so you can slide it out without disconnecting)

That's awesome.

The iPhone fits in tight, and no chance of falling out

The case still has a little flexibility, maybe I will try with a 3mm wall thickness, instead of the 2mm now.

and maybe add a slot for the headphones.
