Can’t say that I have seen a “Custom” cell phone sleeve and cases out and about. If you think about it, this may be an area where you can really stand out. You can be as loud or as refined as you’d like. This sleeve is a prototype that has been in use for about a year now and is wearing very well. This particular sleeve is constructed of Iguana for the front, 1/2 oz. oil tanned leather for the back and calf-skin for the lining. The individual carrying this sleeve for the past year requested a simple sleeve which is easy to insert and extract the phone from. Custom options are many and include various facing materials (can be exotics or plain...
Read MoreThe Shop PCS is a project ordered by a welding shop owner in Georgia that got really tired of buying belt pouches for the items he used daily that kept wearing out. In addition, they were just ugly. The customer needed a belt carry PCS that carried his old Leatherman, a BIC pen that he just loved and a small MagLight. In addition he required a keyclip on the bottom for, well… you know… keys. He also required a matching cellphone case for his current iPhone and one he was looking to upgrade to. We chatted a bit and a further requirement was a leather that was stupid strong. This belt carry PCS is made of horse hide and is dyed a dark walnut brown. The...
Read MoreWhat we have here is a Leather Pancake case constructed to hold an iPhone 6 enclosed in a Griffin Technologies Survivor. You may notice that with many/most cellphone cases coming out today they all have clips of some kind that add an additional 1/2″ to the case thickness once you place it on your belt. The nice thing about pancake cases is that due to the construction they lay very flat against your side. This particular case has been made for an attorney in Manhattan that wished the case to be very simple yet rugged. It is constructed out of 3-4 oz. vegetable tanned leather and is lined with a grey sueded pigskin. It is dyed black with Fiebings Professional Oil...
Read MoreCell Phone Belt Case by Dragonthorn. I carry this one personally as a prototype and love it so much that I am opening it up to custom orders. I carry a pretty high end phone (Nokia Lumia 920 running Windows Phone 8) and have never been satisfied with the leather belt cases on the market. The cases out there hold the phone sure, however, they just don’t have the pizzazz that I like to see. They also tend to be pretty thick and not formed to the phone. I developed this piece as I needed something in brown leather that reminded me of the old US Calvary belt pouches from the middle 1800’s. This particular case is made from 3-4oz. vegetable tanned leather, dyed a...
Read MoreDouble Pancake Cell Phone Case… a what? Another very unique item from Dragonthorn. I have made these in the past for folding knives and the latest knife sheath was made out of deerskin for a customers fathers day present for her Dad (you can view it here). The customer receiving this baby carries his personal phone, an iPhone 5 in a Lunatik Taktik Extreme case, and his business phone, a BlackBerry Bold daily. I’m not sure how many of you have this same situation (carrying two phones daily) but I do have personal experience with it and it’s a royal pain in the butt!. The client saw my deerskin case (linked above) on the web and thought, “hey, this...
