Has anyone found a way to protect your Pocket? I can see it getting scratched while on the back of my phone and sliding on my desk. ---

Based on some other threads, I ended up with this. It comes in several variants, I got this one with the kickstand because I am usually recording while I am walking around and I attach it to my bra strap under my shirt. I didn’t like how the elastic was over the button so I cut that out. I can charge it in the case, so it is working very well for me. ![17745351812546061788321788334520](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/pocket/original/2X/c/c51ceda65d137d7d5b2ffde2fed4505c05b7ee7e.jpeg) ---

My blue pocket stays strapped to my iphone, I have abused it terribly by dropping it accidentally a few times, dropping it with the phone attached once, and in various places on my desk, dragged around etc. No issues (other than an unrelated software issue), and the paint looks good as new, I think they chose the material and finish well. ---

I think it would look a little bit cooler if it was scuffed up. Of course not banged up from drops but those scratches would look cool on a metal device like this. ---

> [@3D Printed Protective Bumper Case](https://community.heypocket.com/t/3d-printed-protective-bumper-case/609): > > I went ahead and made a small 1.2mm thick bumper to protect the pocket when setting it and phone on surfaces. I have an ohsnap grip on the back of my phone, so the 1.2mm gap isn’t an issue when attaching for me. If you don’t own a printer and don’t have free access to one through your local library. CraftCloud has vendors that will make and ship them for about $21. Just upload the file, and select FDM TPU. ---

How about one of those self adhesive clear laminating sheets ?
