Default Machined iphone cases - Final design
What do you think ?

Been tweeking the design for a while now and i'm finally there . They now use 4 x 1.6 stainless bolts which makes a big difference to the look than the previous m2.5. Bolts also go through the back now. Case is overall slimmer and smoother

You've not put a hole for the sensor above the speaker

Well , I put this post up to see how much interest there is ..... they do take a long time each to make. I would have to make at least 40-50 cases to make any money on them at around £20 each (custom that is)

These look great, when you get the go, if my name aint down in the thread please pm me. If you could personalise them with car build numbers ect you are on to a winner. If this is poss i will post the link on the owners club website.

Just looked on your facebook and saw a very sweet oil filler cap, same thing mate. If you could etch a personailzed number to it you are going to be a very busy man i reckon
