# Human Ear iPhone Case ## Overview https://youtu.be/lpjkbnNk8eU ## Ear Phone Grip Protect your phone with an Ear case. This phone case is designed to resemble human skin with a grip that resembles an Ear! The flesh-inspired case not only protects your smartphone—it also lets you have a better grip by attaching the ear to a PopSocket! ![3d_printing_hero-sweat-use.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/115/792/medium640/3d_printing_hero-sweat-use.jpg?1665408041) ![3d_printing_hero-hold-wide.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/115/793/medium640/3d_printing_hero-hold-wide.jpg?1665408076) ## Color Match Skin Use flexible filament made for prosthetics to match skin tones, if you wish. ## Editable Phone case Edit the phone case to fit any phone model. 3D scan an ear or search for an existing scan to modify. Compatible with any PopSocket, the grip securely attaches to the flexible filament.   ## Multiple view angles    The ear shape allows the phone to sit any different angles by simply rotating the ear to get the best view while watching videos. ![3d_printing_hero-hold.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/115/794/medium640/3d_printing_hero-hold.jpg?1665409372) ![3d_printing_hero-stand.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/115/795/medium640/3d_printing_hero-stand.jpg?1665409404) # Parts ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/115/796/medium800/3d_printing_parts.jpg?1665409865) ![Ear](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/115/809/original/3d_printing_hero-loop.gif?1665412406 Ear Phone Case) # Human Ear iPhone Case ## 3D Print ## Parts List STL files for 3D printing are oriented to print "as-is" on FDM style machines.

Align the Grip to the base and twist to securely attach to the base. ![3d_printing_base-attach.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/115/804/medium640/3d_printing_base-attach.jpg?1665411723) ![3d_printing_cover-place.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/115/805/medium640/3d_printing_cover-place.jpg?1665411916) ## Attach ear   Use double stick tape or hot glue to attach the ear to the grip. Firmly press the ear to adhere to the grip. ![3d_printing_pop-double-stick.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/115/806/medium640/3d_printing_pop-double-stick.jpg?1665412162) ![3d_printing_ear-attach.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/115/807/medium640/3d_printing_ear-attach.jpg?1665412237) ## Piercing   The flexible filament allows you to add additional accessories like ear rings. Use tweezers to poke a hole through the lobe and attach ear rings!  ![3d_printing_piercing.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/115/808/medium640/3d_printing_piercing.jpg?1665412286) # Complete ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/115/809/medium800thumb/3d_printing_hero-loop.jpg?1665412406) ## Featured Products ### NinjaFlex - 1.75mm Diameter - Almond-Peach Smoothie - 0.50Kg [NinjaFlex - 1.75mm Diameter - Almond-Peach Smoothie - 0.50Kg](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2383) Looking beyond ABS?
