We just found this new information on a company who have been making a new 3D printable case for the Jolla phone.
You can read more here and best of all, if you have a 3D printer, the plans are also available to download here at thingiverse.
Here are some images of the case which looks like it is quite practical and has nice industrial looking design:
Well this is at least the “first” 3D printable case we’ve seen so far and I’m sure we’ll start seeing more and hopefully some ‘other half’ printable cases in time. :-)

Great post!
I helped a friend build his first 3D printer. Then he upgraded but did say, “anything you want printing, let me know”, guess I will be on his ‘case’ at some point! (pun totally intended!).
I would like to elaborate on the design as I’m not too keen on the cut out for the Jolla logo to show.
I wonder if I would be in breach of copyright if the case was printed with the Jolla logo embedded??, guess I should find out!
Interesting how the 3D printing will evolve….
So we could soon see a DIY other half that has an E-ink screen on the back……;-)
P.
I don’t like those straight edges. I’d put a radius on those with a little radius end mill. Actually once I can save up another $480 to upgrade my design software from the useless version I have now I’ll jump back on my little CNC desktop mill and start experimenting with making a purple heart case with whatever phone I have sailfish on at that time.
