Thanks, I try to stay busy, I'm retired and if I ain't fishin', I'm in the shop, even if it's just setting there cleaning tools and watching TV.

Well, at least you're easy to find! I managed to break my arm last week, so all I can do is admire everyone else's work for now:)

How do you deal inside of the snaps with the cases for phones? Do you have a way to cover the back of the snap to keep it from scratching at the phone?

[Chief31794]

I cover it with a small patch of very light leather lining. On some cases I line the main case by making the case from 2/3oz Hermann Oak and lining it with the same material. I glue the lining to the case after installing the snap on the case (not the one that has the dome, the bottom one), and after sewing the belt loop so that the back of the snap and the stitches are hidden between the leathers. These two didn't have liners so they have a small patch glued over the snap base only.
