I got tired of my stretchy work belt and phone clips that break, so I made a couple of accessories for my day job as assistant mucker at Maefield Farm.  The belt is made from 10 oz Hermann Oak chocolate harness leather with a liner.  The phone case is made from 5-6 oz "oil tanned" leather from the SB Foot Tanning Co.  The case was constructed around a block of closed cell foam, glued and sewn at 10 stitches per inch.  The edges of the belt and case are sealed with beeswax.

That's a pretty solid looking belt you've got there, should be good for a few years!

Thank you all for your kind remarks.  I've learned a lot from the members of this forum.  Sewing is almost as much fun as learning.

Nice work!  Dang how much training till you make journeyman mucker????  Is there a chance of advancement to fecal relocation specialist?  You've got me thinking about a new career path.
