  1. Wish I had the space to use the sewing machine because this is slow.

      1. @critialcloudkicker I'm making a holster for my phone, as carrying a 5.5" device on my pocket makes things like jumping bothersome. I have a sewing machine, I just don't have where to set it to use it.

        1. @nerthos Ah, a phone-holster. Are you going with a belt-clip or something ? In which case wouldn't leather be way more interesting of a fabric ? I mean you want to jump with it.

          1. @critialcloudkicker I'm using fake plastic leather that I had available for the outside layer, a soft fluffy fabric for the inside and to act as a cushion so the phone can't get scratched or hit; and then backpack straps and a backpack clip thing, the black plastic ones that have three teeth like a fork and you press the outer ones to release it, to hold it.

            1. @nerthos ... So then it dangles from your belt ?

              1. @critialcloudkicker No, it goes under the arm like a gun holster, so it shakes less when running and is not as obvious. On the belt it'd be worse than in the pocket.

                1. @nerthos Yeah that was my primary "What ?" moment. I am sort of afraid that it would look sorta weird now though.

                  1. @critialcloudkicker I usually wear an open/semi open jacket so it can barely be seen.

                    1. @nerthos Shoot or paint me a picture when finished. I am intrigued now.

                      Also, personally, I would have just went with velcro and a Seido Obex case, but I already have the Seido Obex case so :)

                      1. @critialcloudkicker I have an anti-impact case, the issue with carrying it in the pocket is not risk of damaging the phone, it's that being big, it limits mobility.
