DIY | How to make an Silicone Phone Case | Tutorial

[@justingould2020]

Make sure you use acetic cure silicone (the stuff that smells like vinegar). The other variety will take weeks to set if it's too thick.

[@artistpw]

Options may be to use clear silicone and maybe something other than potato starch - like gum tragacanth (I use that for making soft pastels and a small amount can jell to make a large batch of pastels, so possibly less could be used - just something for thought.) Other possible starch substitutions could be tapioca, coconut, rice, just about any flour may work similarly. There are cool PearlEx pigments like interference colors that could be added in. I may have to make a case for my ipad pro that I haven't been able to find any case for yet.

[@loombandz6722]

Can you use talc instead of starch

[@vogelkonigin3303]

I really like this idea, i have a pretty uncommon and outdated phone, I can only buy cases online and only have limited options.

[@TheStigma]

This seems like an interesting way to seal up low-power DYI electronics for weatherizing. Not only for a water-proof layer, but to protect it against hard hits with something soft. I think a thick shell like this would take a lot of beating, and being a mold-able putty makes it very versatile. I could also imagine this being useful for DIY tool grips, to approximate vulcanized rubber. I assume the starch is just there to make it less sticky to where you can handle it. Does it affect the final strength after curing significantly?

Hello, I've been working on designing a phone case for my project, and I'd love to get your expert opinions on the materials I'm considering. I've narrowed it down to TPU, polycarbonate, and silicone.

[@areuhu9230]

That's a good selection of materials to consider. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. TPU, for example, offers good shock absorption, while polycarbonate is known for its durability. Silicone provides a nice grip. What specific properties are you looking for in your phone case material?

[@hanhan-oy9hu]

@@areuhu9230 I'm aiming for a balance between protection, cost-effectiveness, and ease of production. I want the case to be durable but not overly expensive to manufacture.🙂

[@areuhu9230]

@@hanhan-oy9hu It's great that you're considering both functionality and cost-effectiveness. Have you thought about how each material might affect the design aesthetics of the phone case? 🤔Different materials can give a case a different look and feel.

[@hanhan-oy9hu]

@@areuhu9230 Yes, I have. I'm trying to balance between ease of production and material quality. I don't want the manufacturing process to be overly complicated.

thank you so much. it's hard to look for casing for my phone, even thou it's almost 1 year after it's brand came out, it's rare to find the casing... update :i did it! but the back doesn't came out nice so i use your technic to cover the uneven surface using raw silicone.

[@PirahKp]

This is such a great idea and after its done we can design the cases as we want to! loved it :)

[@siobhanhenry9094]

Wraps the phone in gladwrap/cling wrap and yes you can use cornstarch or corn flour, this also works for making resins molds or anything else you might use silicon for.

+Faixo Productions if you pay £5 to £10 in Shipping you obviously don't filter your search, as i personally buy many cases under £1 with free shipping on eBay. Do your research before commenting!

[@SianaGearz]

If you have a phone that you can't find a case for, currently you can buy universal bumpers made from a super stretchy silicone. They accommodate a large range of phone shapes and sizes, but they have their issues too. I am not always happy with cases that you can buy. They might have rough edges, they might not sit well enough, the holes can be offset. I think being able to create your own protective case is still a valuable skill :) Even though the edge around the screen didn't come out too well in this video, and honestly i don't have a technique in mind on how to make it better. But i guess with enough effort, you can accomplish anything. Shipping small items from China that fit into a mail envelope only costs a fraction of a dollar; however it takes 10-14 days usually, the time that your phone will be unprotected. By the way, that comment at the end of the video about silicone being safe... well that only applies to pure silicone cured by platinum catalyst, which is quite expensive. This does not apply to home improvement caulk, which will usually be cured by peroxide or tin and produce various chemical byproducts. It's not dangerous to touch, but it's not safe around injuries and food.
