Cell Phone Case - Verizon Blitz

Maybe you aren't happy with your current cell phone case/holster. Maybe the availability of cases made for your phone just plain sucks. Whatever your reason, this instructable hopes to give you ideas for a case made to fit your cell phone, while detailing the process for my cell phone, a Verizon Blitz.

Step 1 Materials

I chose to make my case out of leather, good because you can mold it and get it to save it's shape, thus making a good, tight case to keep your phone from bouncing around. Below is a list of what you should have.

-About 2 square feet of vegetable tanned tooling leather. (If you're having trouble, ask for help in the leather store. I have yet to meet an employee and Tandy that didn't know what they were talking about!)

-scrap wood (I used some plywood and scrap pieces of balsa wood)

-your phone (You'll need it as a reference!)

-hand saw or jigsaw

-sander or sandpaper

-White glue

-Snap or button

-pen and paper

-scissors or knife

Optional
-Dremel with carving attachment
-Neatsfoot Oil or other leather sealant
-Velcro

Great Work! I recently made a phone case using the same wet molding process, Main difference is that mine was made from two stitched halves, and the end was just left open as a slip case. I didn't bother writing up an I'ble as its very much the same as my iPod I'ble. I also made my mold out of a thick card, i can easily layer up 4 pieces, and its very easy to work away at with a stanley knife. I then cover the mold in brown parcel tape to make it waterproof. If you notice on mine, cos I used a thinner leather, the case mold itself to the buttons due to being in my pocket.
