Its a work in Progress but my 6 inch a reader case is taking shape

View without the ereader for those who are interested

Already designed a case for my 7.8 inch Nova 3 Color so the end result should look like this sans the pen holder

I designed these for my family who has a tendency to break and destroy their ereader cases. And this was to make it easy/simple to make a replacement arms (pink section) when they inevitability break.

So far mines held up 7 months without fault while my SO's lasted 4 since their case sees a lot of action.

EDIT: Made a small edit to fix the image positions

Great job! Fantastic piece of design - well done! What have you used to design the parts?
- Everything was made in FreeCAD, starting to get good at it since this design took I think 1-2 days versus the 1-2 months the original design took.
  I use the Flatten to SVG to get the cutting profiles, while everything else is exported to SVG.
  
  Sweet, I love FreeCAD.
wait... these eReader-Cases are able to break??
- The pink parts yeah. I've seen their eReader get dropped bashed and thrown around like trash (in the bottom of a bag.
  The injection molded cases usually fall apart in about 6 months around the corners, and deteriorate from there. My pink arms are breaking on the layer lines around the corners at the 4 month mark, but they are holding together well regardless. Even then replacement arms are like 4 hours of printing and a few grams of materials.
