    Nice work. I like the design a lot. It's always nice to see a new holster design.

    Tankerman, I ended up using the new style magnets that Tandy sells. They are pretty strong. I have been very happy with them, and they seem to work well with this project from what my customer tells me. I will look into the rare earth magnets though. I could probably work more towards a cleaner enclosure for the magnets next time. Thanks for the comments everyone. Kevin

    Thank you for all of the comments. The skull is just natural leather, no dye or paint with finish coats.

    Thank you, and yes I did my research since I was concerned about magnets too, but it doesn't appear to be a concern for smartphones and iPads. I have used magnets a number of times now and I don't feel concerned with them as a threat since I found through other forums online and through actual use that they don't pose a threat. Take care, Kevin

    Thanks. I saw this idea on Pinterest and Etsy and I have wanted to make one for myself for a while now. I don't intend on selling any, I just had to try it. The original artist for this design is This is Ground from what I can tell and it's called a Cordito.

    Thank you everyone. Jimbob, I really appreciate it.

    It looks good. Saddle stitching should be more than strong enough. I made a carrier for the same model phone and I ended up stitching a leather belt strap. I wanted to water proof mine and used multiple light coats of a spray lacquer. I have also had good results on a motorcycle seat using resoline (sprayed through an airbrush)and a neutral shoe polish afterwards.

    Thank you everyone. Chris, I designed it myself. I had inspiration from other cases of course.

    Thank you. I had a lot of fun designing and creating it.

    Thank you all for the awesome comments. Billybopp- I found a translator online for hieroglyph but the translation is not family friendly. Let's just say I was inspired by Pulp Fiction. OdinUK- I did not use real stone. I used a swivel knife to define my edges and used one of the Tandy backgrounders over and over again for the entire border. For the overall beat up look, I just took various leather working tools and dropped them from about two feet onto the leather many times over, once the tooling was complete.

    Thanks. Rawcustom, I use an airbrush with all of my dying adventures. You just can't beat the control. Take care, Kevin

    Very cool. That must have been fun.

    Grey Drakkon, I'm glad that this inspires you. I had to look at just about every leather arm guard I could find online for inspiration myself. I was fortunate to be given full reign over the design of this piece for the end customer. I went into this project with no reference or suggestions from him on style or patterns which is very foreign to me, and he didn't want to even see what I was working with until the piece was complete. He wanted to be completely surprised. I'm sure what ever you make will be pretty cool. Please post pictures when it is complete. Good luck and have fun. Kevin

    Thanks for all of the comments. To thefanninator, yes I do shoot traditional recurve, but this was an arm guard for one of the employees at the range I go to. This is the arm guard I made for myself. Do you shoot?

    Thank you
