cellphone case pattern

[ajanderson]

I need some help. A friend of mine has a black berry phone and wants a case for it. Problem is that the prepunched cases wount fit his phone. I need a patern or a way to make one that will fit this phone. Many thanks.

I have a blackberry and I could post a pic of the case that came with mine. I just recently made a cell case for a similar phone. I didnt have the phone so I traced it on a piece of paper and traced the side also so I'd have the thickness. Then I made a blank out of cardboard. Cut a piece of leather wide enough to cover the phone with 1/8 inch seams and long enough to wrap it lengthwise. then stitch the two sides the top is left open and just cut it to shape (U) on the top. I left my sides a bit wider then trimmed them close after they were stitched. Also if you make it tight enough you can wet mold it to shape for a perfect fit.

So this is my case. I used paper to size up the phone. Blackberry's recognize their case by a magnet.

Hey there cowboy 316,

if it's not too much trouble I would really love a copy of your template of your cell phone case.

You can send it to my e-mail address russellc@viscom.net

I've been looking for this type of template for over a year now.

And thanks so much in advance.

Here are a couple of phone carriers that I made. I cannot find the pattern for the first picture right now. The unsewn case is for my Motorola Droid. Reduce it by 3/4" from the center for a Blackberry. For other phones, adjust accordingly.

Good luck

I've attached a template I created for a Blackberry curve 9300. It was for a lady who wanted something to protect it in her purse, so there's no clip.

This one Tandy sells looks dead easy to reproduce.

Adding: I cut a "relief" hole where the charging cable goes in when I know what model phone the buyer has. That allows them to charge the phone while it's in the case. One person got into the habit of charging it in the car while it was still on his belt. He learned to remember to disconnect after a few "oopsies".

Does anyone have a Tandy cell phone pattern like this one?, just the regular old cell phone pattern.

This is the pattern I have been looking for nothing fancy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One or more of these should be able to translate to leather. At minimum you get the dimensions.
