Phone sleeve that also holds index cards?

November 2, 2021 12:13 PM

I would like to buy or make a leather phone sleeve that I can slide my iPhone 10 into, and also carry several index cards. Has anyone seen one anywhere, or do I need to make this from scratch?

It's not quite the same but I made a leather sleeve for credit cards, using thin leather glued as a wrapper using ShoeGoo adhesive. It's been knocked around in my pocket for well over two years with no sign of wear. I think that would make an easy and effective phone sleeve.

I don't think this exists, but there are a lot of people making phone sleeves on Etsy, and many of those people will happily work with you on something with custom dimensions/pockets.

I would look for a traveler's notebook in the dimensions you want with space for an iphone.

Perhaps this could be an inflection point to pivot to our eternally dawning paperless future?

Response by poster: Good point, fairmettle, but...I am weak.

The reason that I use paper cards for my daily To Do List is that they are the very essence of free-form input -- and also I am so easily captured by my phone that if I open it up to make a To Do entry, I will be distracted for fifteen to twenty minutes guaranteed.
