And today evening I will print a case for my recently upgraded trusty old iPod:

I get your problem, yes. I also tried printing a bumper for my work phone in PLA a couple times before I was able to print TPU and it always took like 2 weeks until it broke. Those materials don’t like being put under pressure permanently. I didn’t try PETG, could imagine it to be a little better, even though it won’t absorb any impact if dropped.
