I wanted my flashlight sleeve to be about practicality and ownership. After experimenting with the different capabilities of Rhino, I decided not to have any extrusions on my final model. A flashlight of this size I would use a keychain, in which case it will be handled roughly and without consideration, therefore my design does not have any parts which could break off. I wanted to guarantee that the flashlight and sleeve could not be easily separated so I added an interior lip to contain the flashlight and added a screw feature so that the two halves would hold the flashlight inside. Finally to maintain the practicality of the flashlight, a hole was left in the base of the sleeve to grant access to the on/off button.

Layer organization.
In this model I used an outline and revolved the basic shape; created the screw feature, using spiral curves, the flow along curve function, boolean union and boolean difference; added the Light and Renae extrusions by projecting UV curves, adding text and then removing the volume of the text using boolean difference.
