android phone casings

[Jet-Fighter7700]

Hi guys,

thought this might be an issue, but thought Id ask at the very least,
maybe somebody has more luck than me with this, I would think with all the odd android phones floating around
somebody might know.

Where can one find android phone cases that might fit my phone, wileyfox swift,
can a lumina 650 case maybe fit?

does anybody in SA specialize in finding unusual phone casings and supplying them?
or do most people just buy the popular phones and thats all the casings you will ever find?

I was thinking along the lines of 3d printing a casing, and would love to have somebody help me with that,
as I cant design anything 3d printed to save my own life, all I can find is a steering wheel:crylaugh:

It's not really that expensive to order on Amazon.com provided the item has intl. shipping.

Just buy online from overseas.

And use aramex if it doesn't to save.

no I see plenty cases from wileyfox official site and clove.co.uk,

just wondered if there is a more local way, without going through customs and the like,

in the worse case, a freind of mine is visiting the Netherlands very soon, I could probably convince him to bring it back,
just wondering if I now need to deal with the whole story of customs and the like,

hi guys,

thought Id ask, anybody here really proficient in designing phone cases/ 3d design software,

I would love to get somebody to design me a casing, found one on thingiverse, but its a steering wheel shape, I need a case,
all the apps I tried , windows 3d builder/ondesign are difficult to learn,

I see lots of samsung S5/Iphone cases that people designed, surely it cant be that difficult to modify one of those for my phone?
I do have access to a 3d printer to print everything.

You want something that covers the back & sides of the phone - like this?

I don't have the time to measure everything meticulously so just made large cutouts bottom and side.
You'll need to print and tell me what needs changing.

would be awesome, as it might look a bit like a iphone,
but let me try first with the one design, see later on what I can add.

so just an update on my casings

printed one that saor designed for me, case out a bit off, not by a lot, so a small adjustment would make a big difference.
as well as power button constantly being pushed,

have remeasured everything, and sent him feedback, lets see v,1.2 and how that comes out.

Cool.
You're welcome to post the in-progress pics here - I'd kinda prefer it .
I'm back at work next week and will make those adjustments.

Listed everything on Thingiverse, including pics if anybody interested.

I'd have preferred you asking me if you could post files I've given you on Thingverse for the rest of the world.
I'd likely have said yes but still...
Anyway.
I'll do your work for you seeing as how you're not posting any links or pics...

And pics of the progress (I didn't print this, OP did):

Any reason you're not printing it the way you've got it oriented on the table in the previous pic?
Not sure why you'd want to print it upright. You're printing unnecessary support structure by doing it upright.

Some of your dimensions aren't entirely clear in the drawings so I've just guessed. See how this print fits the phone and we take it from there.
