# Smartphone Mesh Covers The Freshfiber 3D Printed iPhone Case is Simply Dazzling By Matt Ho | Published 2011-07-05 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshfiber-3d-printed-iphone-case References: [gadgetsin](http://gadgetsin.com/freshfiber-3d-printed-iphone-4-case.htm) & [freshfiber](http://freshfiber.com/) I've got to say that the Freshfiber 3D Printed iPhone Case is probably my new favorite in terms of [smartphones accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitness-case). The Freshfiber 3D Printed iPhone Case is unlike any other because it doesn't have that hard shell design that's commonly seen on the market. Instead, it's [soft, lightweight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellroy-venture-phone-case) and the design itself is just beautiful. The [meshlike cutouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dango-adapt-iphone-case) are actually based on the structure of bird bones, giving the entire piece as a whole a unique aesthetic unrivaled by others. Further, because it's soft, the case itself won't suffer any scratches -- a fact that's especially important for those who like to keep their covers in tact. Of course, there are also cutouts that will allow you full access to all the buttons on the phone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Soft and Lightweight Smartphone Cases:** The trend of soft and lightweight smartphone cases opens up opportunities for innovative designs and materials that provide both style and protection. - **Unique Aesthetics in Phone Accessories:** The trend of unique aesthetics in phone accessories creates opportunities for disruptive designs inspired by unconventional sources, such as the structure of bird bones. - **Scratch-resistant Phone Covers:** The trend of scratch-resistant phone covers presents opportunities for durable materials and manufacturing techniques that maintain the pristine condition of smartphones. ### Who This Affects Most - **Smartphone Accessories:** The smartphone accessories industry can capitalize on the trend of soft and lightweight cases by offering innovative and stylish products that meet consumer demands for both protection and aesthetics. - **3D Printing:** The 3D printing industry can tap into the trend of unique aesthetics in phone accessories by providing customized and intricate designs inspired by unconventional sources like bird bones. - **Manufacturing:** The manufacturing industry can take advantage of the trend of scratch-resistant phone covers by developing new materials and techniques that ensure the longevity and quality of smartphone cases. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sophisticated Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-smartphone-case.md) - [Minimalist Designer-Made Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-the-white-case.md) - [Smartphone Case Pin Charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-smartphone-cases.md) - [Customizable LED Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-iphone-case.md) - [Hyper-Cushioned Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypercushionedsmartphone-case.md) - [Fashionable Inflated Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-case-2.md) - [Aramid Fiber Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pitaka-magez-case-3.md) - [3D-Printed Modular Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-sliding-system.md) - [Textured Alcantara Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hard-graft-fuzzy-iphone-case.md)
