Halitech Report post Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Been doing mainly coffee sleeves lately so this was a nice change of pace. Local businessman approached me a few days ago and he wanted a phone case for his Sonim XP7 phone. For those that don't know, the XP7 is a military grade phone designed to withstand a tank running over it lol The customer is stucco and stone installer so he needed a case that was tough and would protect his phone. He also wanted a pocket for carrying 3x5 index cards. This is what I came up with. All constructed with 9oz veg tanned leather except the liner covering the snap on the inside. Hand stitching 27oz of leather was not fun but I managed to do it. Edited August 27, 2016 by Halitech Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halitech Report post Posted August 27, 2016 Thanks kiwi. The back stitches aren't as nice as I'd have liked but 1/2" of leather is a bugger to get through, especially when you can't lay it flat due to the belt loop Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halitech Report post Posted August 27, 2016 I won't say it's up to the military standards like the phone is but it will probably outlast the guy that bought it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
