IPhone 11 Phone Case

Introduction: IPhone 11 Phone Case

My Name is Jordan Jean, and I will be showing you how to make an iPhone 11 phone case.

Getting all the materials you need for this project is very easy! All you are going to need is any laptop that you own at home, and a TinkerCad account.

Step 1: Finding the Right Shape or Your Phone Case

First you want to drag in a rounded box onto your platform.

Step 2: Changing the Height, Width, and Depth

The Height of the iPhone 11 is 150.9 mm and, the width is 75.7 mm. That means I needed to make the case bigger than the actual phone. I made the the height, width, and depth one mm bigger than the actual phone.

Step 3: Changing the Depth

The depth of an iPhone 11 is 8.3 mm, so I made the the depth of the case one mm bigger than the actual phone.

Step 4: Duplicating and Changing the Size

So you what you want to do is to duplicate the model. You should find the duplicating button on the top left. After you do that, you want to change the height, width, and depth of your duplicate. I changed it to the exact size of the actual size of an iPhone 11 phone. The height of an iPhone 11 is 150.9 mm, the width is 75.7 mm, and the depth is 8.3 mm.

Step 5: Making a Hole

Now you want to make a hole and the location of the button is on the top right. You should see a sign that looks like the picture up top. Press the hole button to turn the duplicate into a hole.

Step 6: Aligning and Grouping Your Hole and Case

First you want to press on the hole. When you do that, raise up your hole off the ground up to 3 mm. you should see a button that kind of looks like a cone. After you do that, you want to press on a button on the top right that has a line going up and that has two rectangles next to it. That is the align button, and it will align the hole and the case perfectly. After you do that, you have to group together your hole and case. You do that by going to the top right of the page again and pressing a button that looks like a square and circle morphed together. Once you do that you can wait for a few seconds to see that a hole was put on your model, so that you can put your phone inside.

Step 7: Examining Your Hole

After doing step 6, your project should look like this. As you can see in this picture, there is a hole on the phone case, so that the iPhone 11 can fit inside.

Step 8: Starting to Make Your Camera Space

What you want to do is turn aside your phone case, so that you are seeing the back of the case. Do that by moving a button that looks like this. It may take you sometime if this is your first time using Tinker Cad. If it isn't, you'll have no problem. After you turn the case around, bring out a cube.

Step 9: Making Your Cube a Hole and Changing the Size

I had to measure the space the cameras of another iPhone 11 case. When I measured it, it came up as 30 mm meters on all sides of the cube. I made the cube 30 mm on every side.

Step 10: Placing the Hole on the Phone

You want to put your hole at a reasonably place where a an iPhone 11 camera is located. As you can see, there is a picture where I put the cube on the top left, exactly where an iPhone 11 camera is located.

Step 11: You Are Finished!

You are now finished! This is what your phone case should look like now. I hope you enjoyed my Instructable Lesson and I hope you enjoyed making this. To see if your creation was up to code, I would 3-D print it, but only if you have access to a 3-D printer. Thank you, and I will see you next time!

Cell phones come in many shapes and sizes, and finding a case to fit your phone can sometimes be tricky and expensive. Luckily, making a custom cell phone case is easier than you'd think. You can easily make a case at home using a hot glue gun or some silicone and cornstarch. You can also make a simple slip cover out of felt. If you already have a plastic case, then why not decorate it to make it stand out?

If you want to make a quilted design, let the silicone harden for about 10 to 20 minutes, then dust it with cornstarch. Use a knife to make cross-crossing diagonal lines in a diamond/quilted pattern. [14] X Research source
