Bonjour everybody!

I would just ask for some advice on an application process to make a CF phone case. CF is obviously used mainly for the look rather that the reinforcment (although that's the main purpose of a case...).

I have first created a replica of my phone in basla wood (+ an extra thickness to put a liner in the case) and wrap it in PP sheet. I have tehn tryed to wrap a model with a standard CF fabric in 3 pieces (so that every edges are protected : 1st piece covering small sides and bottom, 2nd covering main flat part and bottom, then the 3rd was wrapped around all the sides, if that makes sense). I had a try with Diolen but I don't really like the very black color of this compared to CF

My best shot so far was to use EC's carbon fiber sleeve around the model and once it is cured, cut the bottom flat. Then I've used a  1x6cm CF piece of fabric on a flat support and laid the bottom of the case on top of that. However, this is mechanically not very good. I've done a crash test and the flat bottom cracked from the sleeve but I think I need to wait until full cure of the sleeve so that I can cut it flat though.

How would you guys do that  kind of sleeve/case ? Any ideas of a different method ?

Cheers!
