I made a custom fold 3 case (back only) for magsafe and quadlock (www.thingiverse.com)

The folks in 3d printing helped me out greatly with this, and I was able to mash this together today. I haven't printed or tested it yet, but it's designed to be used with the quad mag ring. I'm going to use some very thin and strong 3m adhesive tape I have to ensure it is secure to the phone, and use for a quadlock mount on the bike if it actually works.

Perhaps this niche case will be useful for someone else?

I printed it and attached the mag quad ring. https://www.thingiverse.com/make:1141679

It is very secure with the 3m transfer tape (snapped on pretty good without it, but i want to make sure its solid) l, and honestly works much better than my previous magsafe setup (oh snap 3.0). Wireless charging works fantastic, doesn't interfere with pen (when there aren't any magnetic accessories attached), and surprisingly wireless power share works.

I'm comfortable putting it on my bike at this point; however, I am going to put a skin on the case -- I don't like the blue alone, and I'm not sure how well PLA alone holds up to a drop.

PLA is pretty brittle but rigid. So it won't easily let your phone out of the case, but should it fall, I fully expect PLA to crack. PET-G is complete opposite. Elastic but strong.

If it breaks I will try to print out of petg. I may have to print somewhere else, because the printers I have access to I'm only allowed to print PLA AFAIK. I'm hoping the skin (besides looking cool - it's an xray image of the phone) also reinforces and buffers any impact/fall.
