Protection That Stays Together.

The flexible outer sleeve holds the separate sections of your device together, helping prevent the battery from disconnecting and hitting the ground during a drop — while protecting the whole thing from everyday scuffs.

Built around the drop, not just the shelf

Most sleeves are cosmetic. This one is structural — a snug, flexible fit that keeps the pieces of your device acting as one unit instead of coming apart on impact, and still leaves full access to the controls, display, airflow, and charging port.

Make It Yours.

Choose from available designs, or customize your sleeve with:

  • Your name
  • Shop logo
  • Original artwork
  • Raised graphics
  • Custom colors
  • Shop-exclusive designs

For shops & teams

Retail partners can stock ready-made designs or run an exclusive batch featuring their own shop logo and colors — something customers can't get in the original box.

Email jason@designmainline.com with what you're picturing. We respond within 24 hours.

Built like a part, not a trinket.

Printed at 0.12mm layer height so the text reads clean and the surface doesn't feel like a prototype.

Living with it

  • Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Skip solvents and alcohol wipes — they'll dull the finish.
  • Keep it out of a hot car. PLA+ softens around 60 °C / 140 °F, and a dashboard in July beats that.
  • Friction fit — it slides on and stays on. No adhesive, nothing to peel.
  • Scuffed it? Reorder the same design for less. Just reply to your order email.

Fitment: sleeves are modeled per device. Pick your model at checkout. Device brand names are used only to describe compatibility — Design Mainline is an independent maker and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any device manufacturer.

Three steps. No back-and-forth.

01

Design it live

Type your text, pick your colors and finish. What renders on screen is what gets printed — no mockup emails, no waiting on a proof.

02

We print it

Your sleeve goes on the plate the same day it's ordered. Printed alone at 0.12mm, then hand-checked before it's packed.

03

It shows up

Boxed and shipped in 3–5 business days with tracking. Slide it on and you're done.

Before you order.

Will it fit my device?
Each sleeve is modeled for a specific device, and you pick your model at checkout. If yours isn't on the list, email jason@designmainline.com — if we can get our hands on one to measure, we'll model it.
How long can my text be?
14 characters, including spaces. The preview auto-scales the text down as you type so you can see exactly how it lands. Short and bold reads best.
Can I put a logo or artwork on it?
Yes — that's a custom job rather than a standard order. Email the artwork and we'll quote it. We can't print trademarked logos or copyrighted characters we don't have rights to, so if it's someone else's mark, we'll have to pass.
Is the text going to wear off?
No. The text is printed into the part as raised geometry — it's the same piece of plastic as the sleeve. Nothing to peel, scratch off, or fade.
What if I don't like it?
Because every sleeve is made to order with your text on it, we can't resell it — so custom orders are final sale. That said, if it arrives damaged, misprinted, or the text is wrong on our end, we reprint it free. Just send a photo.
Can I order a bunch?
Yeah. Shops, events, and team orders get a volume rate — email jason@designmainline.com with quantity and we'll come back within 24 hours.

Make it yours.

Type a name, pick a color, and it's on the printer today. Shipped in 3–5 days.
