Pretty impressed how well that one turned out. Used SUNLU TPU in yellow with 200/50 degrees Celsius at 20mm/s speed on my Voxelab Aquila (upgraded PEI bed and DirectDrive, also used Filament drybox).
This filament to be exact:

Nice and clean looking result, great job!
Very nice. Did you model this yourself? If so, did you also have to model your phone or were you able to find a dimensionally accurate model somewhere else?
My iPhone 13 Mini case is now ready to be downloaded:

Thanks for the follow up/link. I don’t have an iPhone 13 mini, but I am going to have a bunch of spare TPU soon and you got me thinking. As you said, it can take a bunch of iterations to get a great fit. I was curious if you had a secret sauce, but hearing that we follow a similar process was comforting.
It’s not perfectly easy, but if you are a little used to 3D programs like fusion360 and have a caliper, it’s perfectly doable. Oh and this here helped me getting the curves right:

Excellent link, thanks! And yup, time with calipers, fusion360, and practice gets you there.
Would it be possible to embed harder plastic bumpers/reinforcements from PETG or PLA inside the walls? I feel like that could make something like this even more useful
That is crazy looking good, got a spool form https://dwdev.se Whit filament is that? Love the yellow color but cant seem to find it anywhere.
Looks great!
I made a TPU phone case a while back as well with some neat custom cutouts on the back. I really liked it, but the heavy use/touching made the case get off-color and dirty looking, especially on the edges, with no way to clean it off.
I know you can clean tpu with diluted bleach, did you try anything that harsh?
I’m guessing you could clear coat it to keep it cleaner for longer
