Today I Made an iPhone Case

I’m just the teensiest bit skeptical of the ability of my iFrogz to really protect Skippy. You know, after the Untimely Death of my little camera, which shattered, WHILE IN ITS CASE.

Oy.

So this morning I made a padded case.

It’s a layer of decorative fabric, then two layers of batting, another layer of cotton. I did some stitching to hold those layers together, and then I added a flannel lining. That should offer some small amount of protection, don’t you think?

This is the back, with the flap open.

The front.

I used one of those braided elastic hair band things, cut it apart, knotted the ends, and sewed them in place.

The strap wraps the edges of the flap around the case.

I have no idea how I’ll like it in use, but it wasn’t too horrible to make, so nothing’s lost. I did try another version first, one with an open front—I used iron-on stabilizer in an attempt to make it rigid enough to have a cut-out front window, so the phone could stay in the case even when in use. Eh. The stabilizer wasn’t nearly rigid enough. I could get some rigid plastic, but I’m going to see how I like this one first.
