Though it's not not Linux related, it's me trying to do my part for this community. Though the default settings are for a Fairphone 6, you can customize it to other phones as well. My hope is that, most phones that can run any form of Mobile Linux, can have a case that they can just make as many times as they want.

Title. I printed a case for a friend, and I ended up wanting to have a similar case, but it didn't exist for my phone, so I ended up recreating something similar in OpenSCAD, then decided I'd probably be better off making it customizable so that it could fit, theoretically, any (current) candy-bar style phone.

TL;DR: The Good Stuff

Here are some screenshots!

It took me about 4-5 nights to get it mostly as decent as I could make it, I still don't consider myself an OpenSCAD expert by no means, but when I tried it on my phone, I was pretty satisfied!

Unfortunately, for my phone, I had to make a couple of test prints, and the print shown on video, was putting a tad too much pressure on the corners of the screen, so I ended up having to make a new print. (7 total tests during development)

Here's how the case looks with the screws onPhone in hand Volume buttons, ports


Either way, I am more than open to feedback, and you are free to contribute if you'd like!
