Members LeatherLegion Posted October 26, 2012 Members Report Posted October 26, 2012 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 ! e.d Quote
Members Horrrk Posted October 26, 2012 Members Report Posted October 26, 2012 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.? Regards Phil Quote

Ambassador abn Posted October 26, 2012 Ambassador Report Posted October 26, 2012 Beautiful work. I love the color and the tight fit. Quote
Members Anacott Steel Posted October 27, 2012 Members Report Posted October 27, 2012 The molding is excellent. Very nice fit. Quote
Members Rogueshadow Posted October 27, 2012 Members Report Posted October 27, 2012 This is really nice, superbly done! Quote
Members Horrrk Posted October 27, 2012 Members Report Posted October 27, 2012 Bare leather...i might have a hard time forming it once is lined. 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.. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=42883&st=15&p=270335entry270335 Regards Phil Quote
King's X Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 How do you remove the phone? Does it come out pretty easy? Quote
Members LeatherLegion Posted October 29, 2012 Author Members Report Posted October 29, 2012 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... Quote
King's X Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 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. Quote

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 !!! Quote
