Default Machined iphone cases - Final design

What do you think ?

Been tweeking the design for a while now and i'm finally there . They now use 4 x 1.6 stainless bolts which makes a big difference to the look than the previous m2.5. Bolts also go through the back now. Case is overall slimmer and smoother

You've not put a hole for the sensor above the speaker

Well , I put this post up to see how much interest there is ..... they do take a long time each to make. I would have to make at least 40-50 cases to make any money on them at around £20 each (custom that is)
