Milton Penflick Report post Posted June 18, 2013 New design idea of an ipad Mini case. I wanted to bevel the inside edges of the frame that holds the ipad, but couldn't work out a good way to get in to the corners, any ideas? Also the closing straps are just a try out, hence the not so neat edges, gonna change them today. I also like the rugged look of using actual hinges on the case, but would like to recess them into the leather so they sit flush, but no idea how to do this! Any comments welcome, thanks!

Spindrift57 Report post Posted June 18, 2013 Like the idea of the hinges. If you moisten the leather and press them in with a clamp and apiece of wood across the top the impression should stay when the leather dries. Personally I'd round the corners a bit with a file to soften the look just a bit and to prevent them catching. Would a french edging tool would get your bevel into the corners of the frame?

Milton Penflick Report post Posted June 19, 2013 Well i thought i could maybe case the leather and then stamp the area with a "background" stamping tool to get the recess for the hinges. I like the idea of rounding the corners of the hinges to soften it up a little bit. The french bevelling tool is what i usually use, but i can't seem to get all the way into the corners. Thanks for your feedback! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
