I thought you could put a magnet on the end of the flap and on the case where it lands. I'm not sure if the leather is thick enough though for a magnet to be recessed into it. I have some magnets that are about 1-2mm thick. I could definitely see me using one of these for my Galaxy Tablet. Something simple like a leather sleeve to protect the screen when I put it in my bag.
He has one for his podcast stuff, one for his RUclips stuff, another for his business stuff, and the fourth is for his friends and family….it’s a whole system….
I love Weaver! I met some of their people at their booth at Blade show ‘22, they were so nice and helpful! It’s not only the amazing end product from JD, but the little tips and tricks along the way. Case in point that jig for punching the leather holes! Genius!
Excelente trabajo y proceso de ingeniería amigo, lo bueno es que tienes todo tipo de herramientas, imagino que no ha sido fácil... Yo tengo pocos años de haber iniciado de cero, tengo solo una caja de herramientas de China, y otra que he comprado aparte, solo trabajo en modalidad completamente ARTESANAL... Ya tengo varios diseños hechos de fundas para celular, billeteras, monederos, PCM, etcétera...solo con "papel y lápiz", pero con mucha ACTITUD POSITIVA... Saludos desde El Salvador, Centro América.
Love to watch your videos. I have learned so much about a lot of things over the past years you have been showing us in the videos. I really like when you show us the prototypes of your designs and product. seems like the world gets a little better each time you post a new video. PS don't stop.
Leather has a beauty, flexibility & utility unlike anything & these beautiful cases & the methods have potential for so many custom projects, especially in the holding & organising of small tools & digital memory products. Thank you for sharing!
Excelente tutorial maestro, las fundas de tlf.mas contundentes que e visto, igual que el sistema de cuñas para darles volumen, gracias por compartir sus conocimientos y experiencias, un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón (Galicia) 👌🤓😜
Interesting video, I've been messing around with leather as well, didn't think of using a wooden mould, one thing I did find useful was putting a press stud base on the thick outer layer on one side and 2 riviets for a belt loop on the other, then adding a thinner leather liner in between to keep them away from the phone. Would have to do it prestretching and not sure it'd work with this technique though? Thank you good food for thought when I get chance to try it.
Very nice. Would like to see another two slits on the back as well for belt loop. These are nice enough to flex your EDC. Do a combo phone/letterman on the belt
cool experiment, recon it would be fun to make a wooden iPhone template and wet form on that prior to stitching..... humm not sure but defo a fun project Jimmy thanks for sharing sir
Awesome video as always! May I suggest molding the leather before stitching, also molding them using something like plastic rather than wood. Doing it this way helps leave a more uniform molded shape and won't damage the leather or stitching in the process of molding. This would also allow you to dye or even line the inside of the leather easier and better.
You are truly a renasounce man you a brilliant person I love your craft and are an inspiration I love all your videos and I want to invent something you are blessed sir
possibly a silly question, but why not use the laser to make the stitching holes? just a note that with the laser you can also engrave on the leather as well to personalize/label the cases.
Does soaking the leather for the mould-forming process weaken the Quick & Thick Titebond adhesion? I’ve never used the stuff so I’m not sure if it’s water resistant like Titebond 3.
Good experiment I like thar cam system you made. Just a suggestion, make the buckle tongue longer. Don't move the slits for it. I think that would work for what you want.
I’ve seen some of your videos in the past as i love watching people make things, so after actually reading about you in Nick Offerman’s “good clean fun” I had to come back and subscribe :) I’ll be sure to look back through your videos for stuff that intrigues me most, and look forward to more videos like this in the future 👍
The first bandsaw cut I was thinking 'whaaat' but as soon as you started the second cut I thought 'that is a clever approach'. Sewing before it's wet molded makes so much sense! Would rounding the edges of the cam form be a good idea? ...or might it become too loose?
great job as usual. About half way through you stitching a thought popped in my head....I wonder if the laser would do the stitch holes to make it easier??
Nice to see the Submariner make an appearance again. You seem to be wearing the Apple Watch in your videos lately. But I’m a sucker for mechanical watches and love seeing yours getting used again!
I think it’s cool but personally I’d rather have it as a pouch with no cover to retrieve it quicker with a belt loop or clip. Love that creaking sound of leather.

Biggest tip I got here was using the wedge to force the form to expand. Great idea. Thanks for sharing!
Jimmy you have a spiritual voice, I feel filled with joy and happiness when I see a Diresta video for Sunday morning, talk all you want.
Love seeing the first iterations of product design and development. This was a fun build. 👍👍
Weaver seems like an awesome company, and is one of the few things that would draw me to living in America - access to great craft resources.
Always excited for a DiResta video!
The sound of the tools adds to the creativity I just love it ❤
Yes love that sound also,thanks for all you do for the community🤗😎🤗😎
Jimmy makes it look easy. The cam system is awesome!
I like the wedged molding blocks. Reminds me of shoe stretchers from my grandfather's cobbler shop.
The stitching chisel jig/holder thing is genius!!
That punch jig is genius! Pulling the chisel can be a headache sometimes. Might be borrowing that idea.

The slight imperfection of handmade leather🤩❤️❤️🤩❤️🤩❤️🤩
The cam system always surprises me with its simplicity and utility.
I enjoy your love of sound and demonstrating the sounds. I like the squeaky sharpie cap, it’s like a duck call.
Nice one dude! You are always sharing, and I am always learning.

As always - awesome job. I like the cam mechanism you used to mold them - super smart!
Leather is just such a fine material to work with.

The design of the pushsticks made me laugh bigtime. Beautiful cases!
And if you know why one of the pinkies is missing then you know.
Thank you for the close up, normal speed, of that stitch!
Is there anything you can’t do Mr. Diresta? I hope you put these in your store because I would buy two of them. You truly are The Godfather of make❤
I, too, love the sound of leather squeaking 😊

Went to school on the first batch, the natural tan leather looks good
It’s always the subtle elements that make me smile. The cam for the top tab had me like, oh right….gotta stretch that too.
the ẽxpanding wood system is smart, and the red dye is gorgeous, kind of Italian I'd say.
I like the stretching jig, neat idea!
Brilliant, Jimmy! Fantastic work! 😃
The cases look amazing!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Love the little hand pushers
Cam wedge system is a great solution. 👍🏻 Love and respect.👊🏻👊🏻
Like you've said before, "You go to school on the first one." Great explanation of your design. Thanks!
I totally want one for sure. Thank you for sharing.
I love the color of the red one.

You always brighten my day.
Thanks, hUgz, Lee
Good job Jimmy Diresta well done
Diresta, love the series in Netflix. Congratsss!!! Im from Brazil. Thanks for all.
Nice looking design and a good test of the technique. I could see it leading to ever more variations.
as always love watching you work. the shear Varity of things you make and materials you use impresses me every time'

Although I prefer my Otterbox for protection, since I’m a klutz and drop everything, these are gorgeous as usual. Love your leather working.
you still need to hold the Otterbox case to your belt 🙂
Very nice. Would like to see another two slits on the back as well for belt loop. These are nice enough to flex your EDC. Do a combo phone/letterman on the belt
They're incredible
i love your longer videos
cool experiment, recon it would be fun to make a wooden iPhone template and wet form on that prior to stitching..... humm not sure but defo a fun project Jimmy thanks for sharing sir
Thank you. Very cool project, as always. I'm curious as to the smell of laser cut leather? Thanks again.
I love to see Jimmy using all kinds of tools that are not made for leatherwork but still work fine ;)
Awesome video as always! May I suggest molding the leather before stitching, also molding them using something like plastic rather than wood. Doing it this way helps leave a more uniform molded shape and won't damage the leather or stitching in the process of molding. This would also allow you to dye or even line the inside of the leather easier and better.
how would you hold it to mold it?
11/28/22. Leather Cell Phone 📱 case.. ! Sweet!👍👍👍⚙️😊
Love the cam trick!
One phone for texting, one phone for calling, one phone for Instagram, one phone for RUclips. It's like your computers all over again.
"Jimmy 3 Phones" Great work as always.
I wondered how you were going to get the phone fit in there. Great idea!
awesome, sounds like the F1 in the background...
Need a belt loop, maybe a snap or hook and loop closer if used on a belt. Thanks, great vid.
As always, very entertaining.
Terrific work Jimmy! I don't own an iPhone but if I did, I'd love one of those cases to store it in! 👍👍
Great cases Jimmy.
A 3rd iPhone, for the man in your life who has everything.

Very nice work J.D....
Really dig it.. some people are just harder on there stuff and this will definitely help keep it nice!!! Great work as always Jimmy.
Really cool Jimmy! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Hey Jimmy, I would be interested in the vector file. Also, what weight leather did you use? Thanks!
Hey, love the process, for next iterations, maybe adding a slot on the bottom to allow for charging while in the case ?
Very nice. Just needs a belt loop or pocket attachment.
Great video jimmy! I have been messing around with some leather work lately while traveling. Appreciate the inspiration! Take care.
When Steve Jobs originally conceived the iPhone he wanted it to be carried in a leather sheath such as the one you made. Pretty cool!
Great video as always thanks, have you thought about putting a couple of cutouts in the back so they could fit on a belt
possibly a silly question, but why not use the laser to make the stitching holes?
just a note that with the laser you can also engrave on the leather as well to personalize/label the cases.
Quick question: Where do I get a custom steel stamp like you have for “Diresta”? Also will it stamp steel?
Love the leather vids jim.

Which specific color red and blue dyes did you use? Thank you for sharing!
Love it! Awesome job brother. Also I don’t want to forget, love you jimmy. Make On Maker 238

Next video is gonna be leather cases for your 5 Mac computers 😁 this was really fun to watch!

Probably a day will come when we will see jimmydiresta Moc-Toe boots!! 😀😀
a belt loop on the back would be handy too
Is the red one for use in the shop so it doesn't show the blood from when you had to call for an ambulance?
How is it that Jimmy doesn't yet have 2 million subscribers?
Good to see you
It sounds like the materials have a voice ❤
Great video. Super clever. The process is always interesting. Mahalo for sharing! : )
