Home made silicone/plastic case/rubber for home made iphone case?

Howdy ya'll, I'm trying to make an durable iphone case. I plan on 3d printing the form i want and using that print as a mold for some sort of plastic (depending what i can get my hands one realistically). I don't know much about the limitations of home melted plastics or even what's available, and I've can't seem to find what i'm looking for in a basic google search. Any advice?

I make molds for silicone objects in my sculpture. Smooth-on is a popular brand for home-use silicones where one has to measure part1 and part2, mix, pour in the mold and wait from a few hours to half a day.

I use Dragon Skin 910 for extremely flexible silicone objects that I do.

  • Will a iPhone 5 Silicone Case fit for an iPhone 5C? Okay so I have the iPhone 5C and I recently bought a iPhone 5 soft silicone case online but, I didn't mean to buy the 5, I meant to get the 5C case except I read the text wrong. Here's a picture of the case I bought on accident: I know iPhone 5C has a more round design but do you still think it'll fit? And for the hole where you get the charge in and stuff on the bottom will that fit with an iPhone 5 case if I have a 5C?
  • Which is better: a silicone or a plastic iPhone case? Yesterday, I got an iPhone 5s and am currently using a basic plastic case until I can order a new one tomorrow. The one I plan to get is a Rilakkuma case, but there are of course two choices: plastic or silicone. Which one seems to offer the best protection? Given I dropped my iPod Touch a lot, I know I'm going to need a good case so I don't break my new phone. So… Silicone or plastic cases?
