RavenAus Report post Posted December 27, 2012 Got fed up of not having a case for my Kobo Touch so I made this. I made it so the main strap also holds the unit upright with the extra snap so I can put it on the desk in front of me and just read Couldn't find any patterns so I made my own It ain't perfect, if I make another I would add another 5mm onto the sides and move the screen hole up my 5, add 5mm to the inner piece top to make up for it, and would make a cutout at the bottom so I don't have to remove it for charging. As the prototype though it's fine as it is, and certainly good enough protection for me. I also used the rune stamps for the first time with a press... Yeah... Use a hammer next time, almost went straight through the bottom, they were almost knifelike! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Havamal Report post Posted December 27, 2012 Like the design! I know what you mean about there not being any patterns or even many examples to look at out there... my wife got a kindle for Christmas and I was looking around for ideas for making a cover, but like you said, there just aren't any patterns or examples out there! Thanks for sharing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benlilly1 Report post Posted December 27, 2012 Isn't it nice to be able to have a one of a kind cover made by you? Great design! Once you get your design refined I'm sure you'll be making another one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavenAus Report post Posted December 27, 2012 Thanks everyone I'm just so glad I finally got the leather so I could make this, been wanting to since September! I've now got a couple of friends requesting covers for their tablets, which are the same size as the kobo. So I'll have an opportunity to work on the production design Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
