Beta 2 of the 3D printed Lumia 920 case on the way!

[gibbage]

Well Beta 1 came, and there are changes that need to be made before I can start offering it for sale. I was a little too close to the side buttons, and the bottom didn't quite fit, but I was able to get it 95% fit on the first try! That's simply amazing, and the 3D scan really helped a LOT. Im very positive that the Beta 2 will fit 100%. Once I get beta 2 and assure it fits, it will be available for sale!

To see video of Beta 1 fitting on the 920 dummy case, view it here.

For Beta 2, I created a new design that I think is cool. Its a geodesic pattern and plays a bit of a optical illusion on your mind when you view it. Here is a render of it.



What do you think? I also designed a finger guard on the camera shutter so you don't accidently take photo's of your pocket. I had a problem with this on my 8X and the shutter guard worked very well without getting in the way at all. Also the side grips are amazingly comfortable!

Beta 2 will get here April 4th. I was thinking about having some sort of contest or drawing to give it away once im done test fitting it.

Anyways, more to come after April 4th. If anyone has any suggestions for case designs, please let me know! Im always looking for inspiration!

And YES, I did test it with one of those invisible cases, and it worked just fine. Not a single problem! Also there is 0 problems with the wireless charger.

Wow! both of them look really cool! Great job dude!

I'm liking the geo design!

Do these cases have a raised lip along the sides to keep the screen safer, should you decide to lay it screen down on a flat surface?

 

[gibbage]

Yes. It will keep the screen off the ground by about 1MM on the 920. You can slide it on concrete without a scratch. Sadly I did that a few times on my 8x already, but not a scratch on the phone.

Could you also make a flip case like the one Nokia makes? Like the Nokia CP-600.

These are all 3D printed...and the 3D printed plastic isn't designed to move/flex. You'd need something of leather to get it to flip around like that.

 

[Ramon Schutte]

To bad, i thought you should be able to make a smart solution for this

 

[gibbage]

It is possible with more engineering to make sort of a flip/stand. I can print the hinges, but it would take a lot of effort and would be rather thick and bulky.

 

[Comrade427]

Yeah, I think it's best to stick with what the material is best at: rigid protection for the phone.
I'd think a hinged model would be prone to having the front pop off in day-to-day use.

I would buy a hex case in a snap.

Did you recieve the new printed case? Are you satisfied with the product? Would it be possible for you to do a video with that?

 

[gibbage]

The shipment got delayed by UPS. I should get it tonight, and I will make a video showing it ASAP and hopefully post it tomorrow.

 

[jvanlew]

Black 920 owner here. I'd buy that hex case for sure as well. Well done man.

Dude...

This is seriously awesome! I would totally buy something like this instead of crap unoriginal casing that I have on now. Trust me, if there were cases like yours on the market, I would have like 10 haha...Are you selling yet?

Hopefully soon! I need to test it first iin the real world, then start selling it. Should be around 25$

Just a quick update. I got the prototype case in, and it fits flawlessly! Here is a photo. I will post the video soon.



You can see some of my 8X cases on the side. I really like the "sticky" theme in green =) Who wants sticky on there Lumia 920?!?!?!

I sat through the whole thing waiting to see what the black ones looked like on the phone :-(

 

[gibbage]

Sorry, but I dont have a black case for the 920 yet. I plan on spray painting one of the beta's this weekend though
