Plush Iphone Sleeve

I made a plush mobile phone sleeve that looks like an Iphone. The phone sleeve is made using faux fur, felt and a print of an Iphone screen You can keep your Iphone protected in it's sleeve and still let everyone know what type of phone you have.

This is what I made for the Instructable's gift exchange.

Note: These instructions can easily be modified to create a plush Iphone instead of a phone sleeve. See step 12 for this.

I recently joined the Android faction, but I love iPhones when faux!

Great idea! (My HTC Legend pretending to be an iPhone, that would be funny.)

_{BTW, I also have a faux iPhone project.}

Sorry, this was a gift for someone, I don't have an iphone myself. If your post your question here. I'm sure someone can help you there.

Awesome bit of creativity!

If you create a plastic sleeve for your iPhone to slip into you will have a much sturdier case. At the moment you run the risk of damaging your phone if you drop it.

They are two pieces of fabric regular felt and plush (which I got at a fabric store) sewn together.

i pod touch works the same for measuring too right?

ChrysN (author) in reply to nubabubaAug 21, 2010. 7:26 AM

Yes, If you have a touch just use that to measure or if it is a gift, you can look up the dimensions on the website.

nubabuba in reply to ChrysNAug 21, 2010. 8:10 AM

Very clever, ChrysN. Good job! Shouldn't this be in some kind of contest? Cman

Thanks Cman! Oh the sewing contest, I thought it might be rude to enter a gift in the contest, especially since the gift went to one of the Instructables' staff.

ChrysN (author) in reply to fungus amungusAug 5, 2010. 4:16 PM

Great, I thought it would take much longer especially since it had to cross a border.

MissAbbyNormal says: Aug 3, 2010. 11:13 AM

Why do I want to let people know what kind of phone I have? But I do like fuzzy!

At first glance i thought this was an iphone plush case that was plush and then my first thought was that i had to have one. i was a little disappointed to see that it wasn't an actual iphone case. I am not disappointed, however, about this idea at all though. You did some nice work here. it even fooled me into thinking that there was a real phone in there. Kudos to your attention to detail. i look forward to the iphone 4.0 version (I don't know I guess a 4.0 would have an LED flash too or something) and Thank you for inspiring the plush iphone case that I am going to make.
