3D printed hard case for Fairphone 4

[diziet]

About 4 years ago, I posted about making a 3D printed case for my then-new phone. The FP2 was already a few years old when I got one and by now, some spares are unavailable - which is a problem, because I'm terribly hard on hardware. Indeed, that's why I need a very sturdy case for my phone - a case which can be ablative when necessary.

With the arrival of my new Fairphone 4, I've updated my case design. Sadly the FP4 doesn't have a notification LED - I guess we're supposed to be glued to the screen and leaving the phone ignored in a corner unless it lights up is forbidden. But that does at least make the printing simpler, as there's no need for a window for the LED.

I do miss notification LEDs.

Nice.

You are 'meant' to let it *make a noise* for the kind of notifications you would go get it for, vile isn't it.

But even if I wanted to be binged at, I'm often not in the same room, or I might have been asleep. I guess we're supposed to be obedient and attentive-to-phone and check it first thing when we get up so we can be sold shite to and fed disinformation and so on.

Even though my phone doesn't try to sell me shite, or feed me disinformation, or, really, steal my attention, I still have to have the same hardware as people whose phones do.

Urgh, sometimes I hate the future.

I can hear a bing from further away than see a light... oh you mean an on untill dismissed light... I never have 0 notifications, that would be content free, which is probably what 'they' were thinking. (my phone is my lowest spoons way to get entertained, so I look at it a lot)
