I tried to make a phone "wallet" case. I used the inside of my old one (what you press your phone into), cardboard from a an old box and some leftover vinyl flooring. I originally wanted to glue everything but ended up stapling some bits. these pics where hastily made and don't do the thing justice. Let's see how well this holds up (I seldom have it in my pocket so that helps).

This is super cute aestheically. Did you use a regular stapler?

Thank you!

I did use a regular stapler indeed. This vinyl was not particularly thick so with some effort that worked.

Sell these as "upcycled" and become rich.

But... Why?

This is much better than anything I would have made. Great work!

What stops the staples from scratching the fuck out of your phone?

[-] Peter1986C 2 points 5 months ago

Please take a better look at the photos. Only the hinges are stapled (they do not penetrate through anything given how thick the case is).

Cool! I made one once out of plastic material from a shampoo bottle and baling wire staples, but it didn't look this nice (plus, it had pokey corners).
