What thickness for the case do you recommend? (1.5mm? is it enought) Because I never design a case for an iphone and I don’t wan’t to print it many times before it works.

Hi,
Recently I came across some great articles on your site.
The other day, I was discussing (http://www.shapeways.com/blog/archives/1626-3d-print-contest-for-iphone-5-accessories.html)with my colleagues and they suggested I submit an article of my own. Your site is just perfect for what I have written!
Would it be ok to submit the article? It is free of charge, of course!
Let me know what you think
