It’s taken a while to think of something that would benefit someone with limited hand mobility that:
a) isn’t super complicated
b) isn’t cumbersome
c) is created for the purposes of creating something rather than addressing a specific need
I spent a morning with taped up hands, and went about my day, and by far the trickiest thing was getting to grips with my iPhone 6 Plus. I love my iPhone and not being able to use it well made my face sad
Behold, the solution to (at least my) problem, the ergo iPhone case!
With the easy grip side handle you’re able to hold the iPhone easily whilst using your other hand the operate it. Not only is there a side handle, there are also 3 finger holes to allow customised gripping
The iPhone case was designed from scratch, starting with the Apple official guidelines for accessory design. This case adhere’s to all of them so buttons are easily accessed, the camera is usable and no connector sockets are obstructed.
Even 3D printed this is a perfect snap fit.
So did i address my initial questions? yes, yes i did
a) It’s super simple, elegant design. no moving parts, no assembly.
b) it hardly adds any weight and is barely bigger than the iPhone itself but is super durable
c) It was designed to meet the requirements of one problem, not a jack of all trades device. iPhone 6 Plus is big! but now it’s accessible to anyone regardless of their hand moblity (i’m keeping mine on my phone BTW!)

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
