I was cleaning up the shop and stumbled across a small piece of Python leftover from a belt buckle project years ago.  Since I need a case for a new cell phone, I picked through the leather scrap pile and found enough pieces to put together the case shown below.  Not sure I'll do it the same way again, but it was an entertaining project and a chance to practice hand stitching, I tried to color match the belt buckle, but I wasn't able to get the same leather and the air brush was not working.  So, I used a dauber and sheepskin pad to apply the dye.  As a result the dye job turned out a little too dark.  Oh well.....

Thanks for the comment.  For what its worth, I did a similar phone case and buckle  set a couple of weeks ago in Rattlesnake pictured under the topic 'Roadkill phone case'.

Thank you supercub, for the photos and information. A friend of mine wants a case for his phone. I hope you don't mind, I think I am going to copy your's. Where a good place to get some snake skin scraps?
