3 Piece Machinable iPhone Case

This will be my entry for the iPhone 5 accessory challenge. The case will be 3 main pieces: an anodized machined aluminum upper piece, a clear plastic molded insert, and an anodized aluminum lower piece. Mated to the insert are "caps" that cover the sleep, volume, and ringer buttons on the iPhone 5, essentially extending them to reach the outside of the case. These caps are also made of anodized aluminum, with a molded rubber piece holding them to the molded insert. The 3 main pieces will be held together by 4 screws giving a shining silver contrast to the anodized aluminum. A rubberized sleeve would then be placed on the inside of the case on both the upper and lower pieces, keeping the iPhone 5 in place and preventing scratches from the anodized aluminum.
