If you can buy the case as separate part for reasonable price then it could. But i dont think iPhone case can be bought separately. And you have to take into account how fast are all these devices obsolete. Btw i have talked with guy who designed aluminium CNC made case for Freerunner/GTA04. His main problem (and i hit the problem too with wooden case) is that the PCB shape and buttons on it are quite complicated. If it was flat rectangle it would be much easier. Also some parts need quite high precision - like the earpiece or gsm antenna - i am still surprised that it still works in my printed case...
