cell phone case

I'm kind of proud of myself because this is the first pattern that I've made on my own. Pretty good I think. The only thing I don't like is that I couldn't find any pig skin or something of the like to cover the clip on the back. I'm hoping to find some in the next few days.

Ya know Damon, when someone sees that and asks "Where did you get the pattern?" there is no better feeling than when you say "I designed it, and I made it!"

Great job, love the design! Keep it up Pard . . . Hide Crafters is always looking for new stuff!

I just gave the case to my father in law a few minutes ago and he loves it. I made this for him to replace the one he got at the ROT motorcycle rally in Austin last year which fell apart on him after just 4 short months. Their old cases claimed they were leather but as I took one apart it was vinyl an chipboard. So I took the belt clip and concho off and reused them Now my mother in law wants to replace hers too. She also said that she'll talk to a couple of her brothers and see if they want new cases too. A little business never hurt anyone.

But after placing the phone in it I realized that I should have used a touch thinner leather. Oh well, live and learn.

Good looking case.

Gotta love that Pakistani crap they sell at bike events.

I usually glue felt over the inside of my cell phone cases to cover the belt clip.

I used contact cement to hold the clip and magnets in place (I know it will hold because I used the same cement on my armor when I was in the SCA without any problems) and used rubber cement to hold a velvet liner in place until I got the stitching done. I'm pretty confidant that it will hold together.

I have not gotten used to the idea of lace work for my leather products I use. For me, it seems to make the leather cases/wallets larger/thicker. I am pondering on making something and at least to give it a try for I have nothing with lace.

Your cell phone case is bringing me much closer to lace work for you have done a EXCELLENT JOB!!!!

Sorry to say this again. On my cell phone case, I went way out of the box also like my tool pouch.

Njoy...
