Hi all, I am looking for a case for my glorious Jolla from December 2013, I want to keep it until it works but since it's very fragile I am looking for some sort of protection. I have buyed a Insmat wallet case but after a year is destroyed, now I am looking for some kind of TPU or plastic case. I haven't find nothing on internet so I ask to the community if someone have find something that fit, and can point me on some site to buy it.

Thank you in advance for anyone that will help me!

BumberTOH will suit your needs. You can no longer buy a finished one, but you can order one from ShapeWays yourself. Don't worry, this isn't complicated. Here are some steps:
1. Go to https://github.com/dirkvl/BumperTOH
2. Read the how-to
3. ask for help if needed
4. Wait for the post office to deliver the TOH 5. Rub the surface with something to make it feel nicer, maybe add some decorations, too
6. Enjoy

I have tried, but it's too expensive (with shipment about 41 euros).

Yeah, having lots of plastic costs more. Also, AFAIK this one uses the more expensive (and durable) kind of plastic, but I'm not sure.

Here's another alternative that I just made available on Shapeways. I modified it slightly but it is based on the one from MiniFactory.

Let me know if you can't access this 3d model for some reason. Haven't published these before on Shapeways.

Does it protect the edges of the phone?

Nicely done @Wizah - reminds me of the plastic insert in the Insmat case, which I pulled out of mine as I found the case just gets in the way of using the phone. Now I have a rough and ready, lightweight chassis to slip round the phone, barely increasing it's overall size and feel in one hand.

@Wizah Have you tested it? My 3D printed case (not this model) was a bit loose.

Just ordered your design from shapeways! I actually waited month since the minifactory desgin was shown for some hero to fine tune it for us all :D Super Duper Thanx!!! Will post picture on arrival!

I don't know how to order your case... How I can download the design? Maybe I have to try from home, on my PC
