Iphone 4 Fitted Leather Sleeve

[LeatherLegion]

After a bit of trial and error i finally came up with a pattern for a fitted sleeve...so here is the first one that came out nice enough to be posted in the "show off" section...lol...The leather is 4-5oz veg tan and it was stitched with #138 thread. As far as dyeing goes I end up using again the spray can from Tandy with some dilluted dark brown

As usual any comments are more then welcome

Thanks !

Looking very nice, Legion.. Good fit, neat stitching and edges too.. The forming looks to have come out well, so well done..

Is it a lined case or just bare leather in there.?

Bare leather...i might have a hard time forming it once is lined.

Beautiful work. I love the color and the tight fit.

The molding is excellent. Very nice fit.

This is really nice, superbly done!

Just a thought if you want to line it..to help protect the phone screen..

Have a look at Hunio's thread on molding a card case..I think he molds the lining with the outer too..

Seems that way from the pics on page 2..

How do you remove the phone? Does it come out pretty easy?

Some people had a hard time taking it out...the harder you try, the harder it comes out..lol... just like a chinese finger trap...

Just wondering if you have considered placing a hole at the bottom so someone can insert their finger and expose a bit of the phone to grab it from the top? I did it to both of my smartphone belt cases and it sure helps! Thanks.

Thanks !!!!

I'll give it a try on the next ones. I've done that to some card holders in the past but for some reason it never crossed my mind to do the same thing to the phone sleeves..lol...Thanks again !!!
