Make your own: Leather Phone Wallet - including pattern making!

[@chrisdoucs]

This is a nice and high-quality mobile phone case. It's always nice to see someone making high-quality things.

[@JHLeather]

Thank you 🙂

[@andrewk.3902]

Wonderful job, I hope that one day I’ll be able to have your still at leather crafting.

[@JHLeather]

Keep crafting and you will get there 👍

[@AK-ps7jl]

It was my first project. And it was great. Some parts I was missing some details so made some mistake. But in total very happy. Thank you 😊

[@theConcernedWyvern]

Was thinking of this for a first project, but wasn't sure if it would be too much. I'll definitely try it now! Thank you for sharing ^-^

[@ratolastehara]

Thanks for the video, i make leather things to myself, with diy tools i made and that will be my next project, i realy like the way you explain, sorry for bad english i am from Brazil and i have learned english all by myself with music and movies.

[@agnesrambling]

I loved what you did. I added my own twist to it. Instead of stitching down the case, I use magnet attached to the case and phone wallet to make it removable. The casing i am using have a raised side, thus I am able to glue a thin piece of leather to the back of the casing with one side of the magnet. Now I have a removable phone wallet :D

[@JHLeather]

That's a great idea!

[@Ebinspurdo]

I'm myself a bit paranoid of bringing magnets close to memory cards :D

[@dangeo9613]

Excellent work and clear explanations. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you!

As you might expect, experience will improve the film making techniques. However, your curve has now taken you to a very high level. As good as it gets. Your films now showcase your work as they deserve. I understand that the required length of the film mean that you cram a lot in - I have to watch several times to follow the process properly. A good way to increase the number of views. Seriously, great work, very well filmed. Keep it coming

Use 2" wide black grosgrain ribbon for the card pouch pockets instead of cutting strips of cloth. Grosgrain ribbon ravels only on the cut ends but not along the sides. Prevent the raveling on the ends by searing with a cigarrette lighter.

[@JHLeather]

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to purchase some 👍

[@seanhayes2998]

I’ve been using one of these for a year or so now and while I love the design, I’m finding that the inner fold between the two panels is suffering badly from wear. I wonder if there’s some way of mitigating this? Or perhaps you could come up with a v2 design. Thanks.

Is the leather a drum dyed bridle?

[@rocroc]

I have a Pixel 7 and have been unable to find a suitable case. There are a lot of option but none that really solve use with the phone. My first problem is that it has to be capable of a wireless charge so no metal can be use on the backside. Second problem is that the opening for the camera has to be bigger. I would prefer it to be made smaller but that too has problem associated with it. In order to be able to use the camera, there has to be a fold in the middle of the back so the case can fold back over itself. So far all of this is doable with your beautiful design. The one issue that I have is position of the magnetic strap. Rather than have the strap on the phone side, I would rather have the strap on the card side. That way I don't see the strap when the wallet is open. In fact, I would like to eliminate the strap altogether. That's my biggest problem - how to create a strap that doesn't get in the way. Or, how to create a locking device that works without creating a wireless charging problem. If you can solve that problem you have a winning solution. Every case out there for a Pixel 7, and possibly other phones as well, has the strap problem. I was wondering if you could just make the smallest possible strap that just folds around the edge of the phone and into a loop, like a tight belt loop, and just holds it there? It doesn't even have to be a strap. Just a way to keep the phone closed. Basically, you just keep the phone from opening if its dropped or mishandled, etc. Do you think that would work or is there an even better solution? As to the case, beautiful. Very nice workmanship! Thanks.

[@plainsarahjane1466]

J. When you were stitching the credit card panel to the tabbed panel the thread looked as if it had glue residue on it. Is that the case? If so is that just a simple wash off? If not, what would it be then?

[@JHLeather]

Hello Sarah, it's bees wax that I use on my threads. It helps protect the thread and helps to smooth any fluffy bits down. Jo

[@TheHungryCanadian]

Does anyone know if there is a version of this where the phone is magnetically attached/detached from the wallet portion?

[@proinsioskinndi1985]

Great but do you have to use imperial dimensions? I really only use metric, millimetres and centimetres.

[@krishnendhuchakra6358]

may i know what is the last process you did with an iron rod? it seemed like your heating it and what is the purpose of it?

The tool is called a screw crease and it draws a decorative line along the edge of the leather. By heating the crease it gives a better and more permanent line. Hope that makes sense. Jo
