Galaxy A5 (2017) Case Ergonomic, Durable

Did it happen to you that you grabbed the phone in the wrong direction and missed the buttons under your thumb & fingers? Well, it happened to me regularly. I found no phone case designs that would address this issue that time, so I put together this thing that has a thicker wall with properly rounded pits for the fingers. Also, it covers the top part of the phone, serving orientation. So now I have several clues to pick the phone up the right way. And it has an ergonomic grab. Plus, due to the thicker walls and the infill, it forms a protective shield around the edges.

I used TPU filament as it should bend while you put the phone in. And it absorbs physical shocks better than rigid materials.

Notes:
I used the circular top and bottom layer pattern, it is nice at the bottom but not really lucky at the top. You may play with different different patterns. I also printed it without support. It worked out with some minor glitches under the top cover so you may apply directed local support. Although, with TPU, its removal can be challenging.
