Great idea. I’d buy one. Ideally, any case would take heat dissipation into consideration, too.

The libre phone (Librem 5) has 2 hot dissipation first using the front screen and then the metal of the edges.
A military form case or any to protect the L5 on falls will cool.
Please Purism take my money of selling case to protect the unique L5, i will buy 2 cases…

With integrated epoxy thermosetting polymer material (instead of using D3O® material, as related to my post #16 here) or even without this on edges implemented hard epoxy layer someone with registered shop (like FLOSS Shop) might ask for (request) offer for certain number of protective cases for Librem 5 users (perhaps with some back slits as @ecs already responded in his post #23, perhaps intentionally covering camera and flash lenses but leaving main processor and battery compartment free/open for better cooling, as total of protective case material used might result in less weight and certanly in end price calculation, per piece of it).
If my proposal of any help, perhaps @guru or someone else have time (as I don’t) to take a look at how this might work out (and propose further steps) for some of Librem 5 owners if such protective case prepared through particular (relevant to linked manufacturer here) STL file and payed in advance through some particular Shop (talking more or less about EU protective case customers for Librem 5 smartphone here, from Burghausen, DEU but requesting production for those wraparound cases in Ann Abor, Michigan, USA might be coordinated as well (see my post #16), as in details described here:

Seems strange that Purism still doesn’t sell any actual cases, even if working with a third party to reduce risk of making it themselves. It is a high margin product many people want. In terms of existing solutions, a sleeve, whether waterproof or not isn’t a great option for 100% protection, and a 3D printed one would be too hard and bulky. If heat/reception is a concern, there are designs on other phone cases I’ve seen with gills that could help.
I rarely drop my phone, but managed to drop both of mine in the past week outdoors on stone. My Blackberry Key2 dropped with its silicone case for the first time, I heard a muffled thud, and it was if nothing happened, hence my investigation into silicon covers. My Librem 5 however now has a big gash in the corner.
