iPhone 4 Case

Front

Back
I just finished up this slip case for my wife's iPhone 4. The floral pattern was taken from the book: Lucky Seven - Foto Carve Patterns and Instructions for Carving Leather.  I made the template for the case by adding 1/4" to the dimensions of the phone.

After I carved the design, I cut a back to match and then saddle stitched the two sides together and finished the edges. Once it was stitched and had its edges burnished, I wet the leather inside and out and inserted a wood 'iPhone' made from plywood and formed the case and let it dry. This slip case is finished with Fiebing's Acrylic Resolene which was applied with a wet sponge.
