Wearable Shoe Phone

Step 3 Making a hole in the shoe

Mark the area in the wooden heel the needs to be cut out to fit the phone. Make sure you have some way of charging the phone up. Drill big holes at the corners, and use a Jigsaw to cut yourself a hole.

Make sure the phone fits in the hole. Now you can glue and/or nail the wooden heel back onto the shoe.

Now it's time for you to do a bit of thinking:
Is your shoe going to be worn anywhere besides nice carpeted areas? If so, you'll want the phone to be completely covered by rubber, and you'll need to work out how you'll see the phone's screen etc. I'd recommend making a removable flap in the rubber, but still make sure you have easy access to the 'answer' and 'hang up' buttons at all time.


If, like me, your shoe-phone is more for show, and doesn't need to be taken over rough terrain, just cut a hole in the rubber sole a little bit smaller than the phone (just big enough to allow access to the buttons and the screen). I used a simple craft-knife for this.
