Unless you’re a secret agent your iPhone is probably one of the most advanced, desirable and downright cool things you’ve ever owned. So why stick it in some nondescript case that you bought as an afterthought when you can slip it in the Fresh Fiber 3D Printed Macedonia iPhone Case.
With its intriguing intertwining framework modelled on the unique structure of bird bones (yes, really) this lightweight case will protect your iPhone from bumps and knocks, adding an eye-catching touch of originality to boot.
Slim design fits in pocket easily
Crafted in super sturdy nylon fibre (they say fiber, we say fibre) that combines the soul of wood with the flexibility of leather, the Macedonia’s complex shock-breaking pattern is fused into shape via laser, one layer at a time. How? A digital file is fed into a special 3D print machine that replicates the design for real using all kinds of high-tech jiggery pokery. It’s almost as ingenious as your iPhone.
Slim but textured for grip, the Macedonia’s curled top edges help protect your precious screen, and although it feels fairly rigid it’s boingy enough to absorb an impact that would probably incapacitate a naked iPhone.
Four colours available:
Stone White
Grey
Graphite Black
Red
Yes, you could make do with that boring ol’ case you bought in the phone shop but a gizmo of the iPhone’s status deserves something out of the ordinary. And before you ask, no, we’ve got no idea why it’s named after a Balkan country (but we might look it up on our funky Macedonia-swathed iPhone).

iPhone 4

Made out of strong, flexible and robust nylon
Product Features:
Quick and safe access to your phone and easy gaming and typing
Box spring shock breakers that protect your iPhone when you drop it

Please answer. I really want this for my birth day (end of may), but I only have an ipod 4, does it still work/ fit with an ipod? thx. Ryan, - 21st April 2012
Firebox says: Hi, Sorry this is for the iPhone only!
Great design and solid cover to protect the phone from knocks and drops, Unfortunately after only a couple of months my black case has started to lose its colour and is now a more muddy red / brown colour. I could understand this if it was sitting on my windowsill getting sun damage all day but most of the time its in my pocket or in my hand! Not overly impressed. Martyn, Essex - 6th January 2012
Firebox says: Hey Martyn, sorry to hear that. I have emailed you through some freepost returns information so you can get a replacement or a voucher refund. Hope this helps!
I bought this for my mother for Xmas (Christmas). The packaging was damaged ever so slightly and the case is a bit rougher than pictured. It is described of having "the soul of wood" and it certainly does! It's very VERY wood-like and even smells of wood, and has grain too. I think it's wood? It's very beautiful though and she will love it. Much cheaper than on FreshFiber's real website too! upwards of £30 on there! Thanks FB - life savers! Tommo, Hawkinge - 23rd December 2011
I really love this design but I was wondering how thick is the case and how does it effect the overall dimensions of the iPhone? :). Lee, Corby - 21st December 2011
Firebox says: Hi Lee, It pads it out a bit, but does not affect the size too much at all (I hardly notice the difference with mine) it also makes it alot easier to hold on to!
A good, nice looking sturdy case which is snug fitting. Only downside for me is that it doesnt now stand on its side freely although will do with an ibend iphone stand (also on Firebox). Jon, East Midlands - 20th December 2011
OH GOD THE SUSPENSE (of waiting for the other colours). Tom, Hawkinge - 7th December 2011
