Basic Case for Sony Xperia Z1 Compact

thingiverse

UPDATE to V4: Hole for wrist strap created to match the one on the phone (bottom right corner). Camera shutter button is more accessible The frame protects slightly the phone when laying flat upside down, but it does not protrudes much, so careful there. UPDATE to V3: V2 has been deleted, and the newest V3 is already fixed. The problems described below should no longer apply. I haven't printed this new version but I will as soon as I get new Filament. The case is improved and some areas too. (FIXED) UPDATE: OK so I tested this design (File Version #2) and I have a couple of improvements to Do. Is that the secondary microphone is covered by the case (I made a measurement mistake of 1mm) The front of the phone is not protected, the frame sits flushed with the device and this is not so good. So I will update soon with the corrections and I will print a new Black case for my dad and probably a purple one for my wife since she wants to buy that phone as well. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION My dad recently bought a Sony Xperia Z1 Compact because it is still a great phone on a decent price... sadly the lack of popularity makes it impossible to find a case in my country... and also there is Zero cases in this community as well.. So I decided to make him one from scratch... This is the second version I designed and the only one I publish... However I will test and update accordingly. So far the only weak spots are the top left corner (due to the headphone jack / and microUSB port flanking it)... and the thin bridge over the Camera Shutter Button. PS: I wish my printer supported ABS so I could test with it... Post-Printing You might need to clean up a lot of residues between spaces of the frame.
