Contour by Slickwraps, 3D print a second skin case onto your iPhone or Galaxy!

Slickwraps, a smartphone case company based in Andover, Kansas, claims to have developed a product called “Contour,” a $300 3D printer that can create customized 3D printed “skins” for smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices. Unfortunately, there’s a caveat.

There are many reasons why you might want to protect your smartphone from physical damage.

But more importantly, having a protective case on your smartphone is no longer the nerdy taboo it once was. With so much at stake when you carry an iPhone around in your pocket, it’s simply common sense to have the thing wrapped up in cotton wool—or silicone, I suppose.

Kansas company Slickwraps has been capitalizing on the interest in protective consumer electronics cases for several years, producing a multitude of designs to suit individual products as well as individual tastes.

Product - Customization - Level…or - Company - Contour
Its latest product, however, takes customization to a whole new level…or at least it might, if it's real. The company recently unveiled Contour, a 3D printer whose sole purpose is to 3D print customized, durable vinyl skins directly onto “iPhones, Androids and other mobile electronic devices.”

It sounds cool, but there’s a pretty big...
