A relatively simple task that can be accomplished moderately easy is to create sleeves for mobile devices. Typically this requires just cutting out the circumference of the phone from front and bottom slices of leather and then stitching the two slices together.

This is a low twisted reality item with no deviation. All the materials used are of the same development stage without any aberrations.

The following is the end-result of creating a wrap for the Google Pixel 4a. The image portrays the Google Pixel 4a mobile device, wrapped in a leather sleeve and placed on top of the Google Pixel 4a retail box.

Sleeves are perhaps some of the easiest of items to create even though the leather picked should be picked wisely. The leather chosen for this project has been pig leather and it is a fairly stubborn and rough leather to work with.

In any case, the first step is to cut two slabs of leather of approximate dimensions, about larger than circumference of the phone, and then place them on top of each other. Note that the leather slabs do not have to be cut to perfection at all and for the most part, the work will be carried out with uneven parts that will be cut off eventually at the end.

The two pieces are laid on top of each other and some painter's tape used to fasten them together so they do not move. Even though the painter's tape does not seem like it will hold, the pieces are held together remarkably well.

With the pieces fastened together, a chisel / leatherworking punch tool is used to create holes on both sides symmetrically to allow the two pieces to be stitched together.

Ideally, the hole punch tools would perforate both the top and bottom slice of the leather but if the punch tools do not manage to go through both pieces, a Dremel with a simple drill bit should be sufficient to make the holes large enough to be stitched.

One good stitch pattern to use would be a cross-stitch pattern with lines going on top of each other because it seems to be the most resistant to the wrap being bent into the shape of a cylinder when the phone is inserted.

Even though the result is good, it would be much better if one side of the sleeve would remain permanently closed and the phone would slide in the other side, in order to decrease the chances that the phone would fall on either side. Unfortunately, the stitching has to be removed, and both sides opened up, in order to fasten an additional leather latch around one of the openings in the sleeve on one side.
