 Each alternate case design suggestion needs some or all of: a description, intended uses, design options, a 3D model in an open format (e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STL_(file_format) .stl], .blend (Blender), .obj (Wavefront), [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_of_Illusion .aoi (Art of Illusion)] ), rendered images of the intended design, materials, components and information regarding interfacing electronically to components within the phone.

 Some users may want combinations of the variants listed - popular/simple options such as Stylus Mount/Different speaker orientation/Extra battery/Extra storage may be combined into one model. This should be taken into account when creating 3D models; i.e. it will simplify things later if the addition of (say) a solar panel, does not encroach on the area used for a touch strip, etc.

 None of this can be accomplished without the dimensions of existing phones - if FIC are unable/unwilling to release precise dimensions, a user of a Neo1973 will need to measure their phone and upload the information to [[Neo1973 case schematics]] in the form of a 3D CAD model.
