Please, how does it compare to the original case ?
Is it thinner/lighter ? different material ?
Or just a different choice of colors ?
And I was also wondering, do you think it might be possible to make metal or wooden cases ? (sorry if this is a stupid question, but I would enjoy it )
I do this (with giant BETA tags everywhere!) for people that are not afraid to try and want to help me with development. If that is not the case I can shut it all down no problem, it’s not like I am making any money out of this while i am investing A LOT in this.
Thicker, heavier, different material (3d printed nylon), all the colours of the rainbow.
This casing I mainly developed for outfitting hardware extensions at a later point. But also some people like to have a purple+yellow phone, always good to add possibilities!
Congratulations!
The two parts do not look attached one to another : they are very tight to the phone so they do not move ?
Would you post a video of dressing on / getting off the case ?
Again bravo!
I ordered the 2 parts in 2 different colors, let’s be funky!
I’m not very happy with the standard FP2 casing, it’s very difficult to install. Nobody will believe you can change the screen in 2 minutes when you can’t even easily set the casing…
But with current design that would result in an unstable fitting casing
At some point shapeways experimented with doing full-colour sls 3d printing, I made a design that looked way funky, but the quality of the print was terrible and they stopped the program…
This is as slim as i can make it without loosing too much stiffness. Besides, I like the way the colours break up the front side, makes it less of a black rectangular glass slab like any other phone.
The material is nylon, don’t know about the colours. Check shapeways.com and go to Materials tab, lots if info there about how it is made.
