Leather Phone Case

[DJole]

I did this one for a co-worker, who is a proud owner of a Subaru Impreza WRX.
I had to take some time off from work due to catching COVID a month ago, and he had to pick up the slack.
In face, the whole piece was made while I was at  home recovering. So I thanked him with this, made to fit his phone.

This is the first time I used a big holster clip like this.

I love the creativity of stitching in the WRX logo.  Nicely done.  I have never used those types of belt clips either. Were they pretty easy to work with?

I like the design stitching for the logo too-- it's something I want to practice and experiment with. What kind and how thick was the leather that you worked with?

It was quite easy. You can see how I made a slot at the top of the tooling leather to insert the clip in, then I riveted the clip to the strip, then used wet molding to form it to the clip and stitched it on.
I didn't want any hardware inside the case to scratch the phone.

2 mm thick. It was from a side picked up from a Tandy sale table years ago, so I can't put a tannery name on it. I believe it is veg tan--- looking at the side thickness, I don't see the "band" that marks chrome tan.
I used my 3 mm stitching irons to mark the logo. First I sized the logo in a graphics program, then printed it out. I then taped it securely to the red leather, and used the irons to outline the letters. The thread I used is Ritza tiger Cream, in .6 thickness.
