My brother proposed an interesting problem: he had two iPhone 6’s. Now obviously this is a first world problem, but he needed a way to appropriately store them and not have to deal with mistaking one for the other (they were different colors, but that doesn’t help inside a pocket).

Here is the design he came up with that I was able to render





The one issue was figuring out how much additional space the bottom of the camera needed before it would get cut off be the bottom of the other one (mostly because I don’t have an iPhone 6, much less two of them). So through some non-standard measurements I wagered a guess and modeled it accordingly. Then using a FlashForge Creator below we printed it out of 1.75 mm ABS plastic.

Giving the result of

And there ya have it! The iPhone 12 case, version 1.0. Pretty easy and fun to do. Feel free to email me for the STL file if you want to make your own.

Interesting notes:

– If you drop it, your very likely to drop it on a screen. Yikes.

– It could be cool to tie them together with bluetooth so you get twice the speaker capability (maybe cameras, but that seems illogical to me)

– Its very odd holding 1200$ worth of electronics in a case you made for probably two dollars.
