Nice looking work and clean stitching.  I am sure the client will love it.

Easy open/close and access for arthritis, etc.  Opinions welcomed!

 

 

 

 

 

 

This phone case look very durable and usable. The stitching seems durable too.

Nice work. I just did one for an older guy (older than me). And I made it a bit big and left some space at the top to grip it. Works great. I have used the finger hole though, and that works fine as well. Would just preferr to not have a hole. 

It is a bit roomy inside for the phone, and a large opening at the top with room to grip, so I think it will work well as yours did.  Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks!  Its a gift, so I probably won't hear any complaints.

Hoping it outlasts the previous one he was using!  Typical mass produced soft leather that fell apart as soon as it possibly could.

That is a nice and well thought case.

I like it, clean, good colors, nice stitching. How'd you get the 2 color letter? Whenever I have a square corner to stitch I punch a very small round hole in the corner instead of the pricking iron and try to make sure it's on the outside edge of the corner. (just noticed one stitch on back lower corner).

Yes, I didn't pay as much attention to detail as I normally do to space the stitches out, I just used a single stitch marking punch that fit and went from there.  I was under a time crunch to get it done, and figured it was on the back behind a belt, so not very visible.    As I mentioned, it was a gift, so probably won't hear any complaints!

I painted the Angelus with a small brush.  Used 5 coats of white, and about 3 coats of red on a standard letter stamp.

Oh cool, I actually thought the letter was cut/tooled. Didn't mean to criticize your project it's very well done and looks great for sure you won't get any complaints. I turmoil over little stuff all the time on my projects so I notice little things that don't matter.

Don't worry about critiquing my work, I do it too.  I agonized over the letter way too much, hence part of the reason for so many coats of paint.  I just wasn't happy with it!  Still wasn't, truth be told, but I had to throw in the towel and get it assembled!
