I tried to modify a iPhone 4 case, but could not see that the embossing was working. Also, it did not appear very responsive to mouse controls, to spin it round. I could zoom well enough. Firefox on MacOS.

The pendant app tool seemed to work a lot better, I was able to stamp on it, and create a freehand design to stamp on it. Still Firefox on MacOS.

Have you seen smoothie-3d.com ? I was able to use that quite quickly. Different method of creating a 3D object, but similar in that it is web based too. I made a shark fin for a dachshund using smoothie-3d - see http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:673544/#instructions.
