5layers: the wallet for iPhone 4 and 4S

Posted on January 12, 2012 by Attila

The bottom of the wallet shows the total of 7 layers of untreated thick veg tanned leather

I have used a similar design for many months and this is the refined version using thick vegetable tanned leather. The black parts are hand dyed and finished using high quality oils but I left the sides raw and they will darken and age beautifully.

The fit is quite loose for the iPhone 4 and 4S. After having made a couple of versions with a snug fit, I find that this works much better in daily use if you keep pulling out the phone all the time.

I used kangaroo leather for the card slots because it’s more lightweight and durable even if you stretch it over many years.

: The iPhone is fairly loose in the wallet. I find it more usable in day to day usage than a tighter fit because you take it out a few times a day and it’s easier if it just slides out

Simple iPhone 4 leather case: yellow&whiskey

about as simple as it gets

I made this case from (roughly) 1.3mm thick vegetable tanned leather. Hand cut, dyed, stamped and finished, it is a simple case to protect your iPhone from scratches when you throw it in your bag.

I dyed the inside black to make sure that you can’t see dirt on it too easily after a few months/years of use.

The outside colour is a mix of yellow and whiskey and dyed by hand as well. I gave the leather a distressed look and feel and it will nicely age if you take good care of it by occasionally oiling it and keeping it relatively clean.

Handmade iPhone Leather Wallet: Flip Brick

Posted on December 29, 2011 by Attila

I recently finished the revision 2 of my iPhone flip wallet design and this time it uses a stack of thick leather to build up the sides of the wallet, giving it rigidity and a very solid feel.
