Shapeways

After cracking my iPhone 4 screen from a drop onto ceramic tile, I decided that a case for my iPhone 5 was necessary.  I also thought it'd be cool to "empty my pockets" some.  I have a Jimi wallet (also made in the USA!), so I had already reduced the number of cards I was carrying to 4 (ATM card, two credit cards, and my drivers license).  All other cards I scanned and put into an album on the Photos app, which has worked out just fine - though the librarian always looks at me funny when I hand her my iPhone with a picture of my library card...

Anyway, I thought it would be great to have a combination iPhone case/Jimi wallet.  Apparently some others have come to that conclusion too, and have a design that you can print out on a 3D printer!  Shapeways is the company that hosts the designs, and has the printers.  You select the item, select options to customize it, purchase it, Shapeways prints it in New York and ships it to you.

So, I ended up with the Tank Tri iphone 5 case w/ 3 CC 1ID holder.  Love it!
