Gentle reader,
Do you have an iPhone? When you got your iPhone were you like me and obsessed about just. the. right. case? My gadgets are my children, and it just won’t do to put them in just any ol’ case. I bought a case that was designed to make my phone look like a green monster, and I loved it. But it was made of this stretchy silicone type stuff, and it’s since stretched a bit out of shape and I’m terrified of it slipping out and getting damaged. Eek!
Well, Morris & Sons – in their infinite wisdom – recently got this piece of awesomeness in the store, and it’s the answer to my prayers!
It’s made by a Korean company called Leese Design, and you can buy them there or at Morris & Sons (for $25! That’s cheap for an iPhone case). The case is a snug fit, which is what I was after, and each case comes with the needle, a few threads, and a little design booklet. But, me being me, I had to do my own design, natch, and I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m faaaairly cray about My Neighbor Totoro.
I want a Totoro all of my own so I can hug him and pat him and love his face! So, I got out my graph paper and drew out a design and got to stitching! I’m using some floss from a cheap bulk pack that we got from somewhere, so I don’t know how it’ll turn out color-wise. If they turn out totes fug, I’ll drop back into Morris and gets some decent ones. I’m properly stoked with the chart though. I’ll do up a clean copy eventually and share it with y’all.
I’ll have to keep my stretchy green monster for a bit longer until this one comes together. It’s perhaps a bit sad, but I can really see myself getting a few more of these treasures and doing a few different designs so I can switch them up on a whim. They’d also make really neat gifties for any Apple-fan peeps.
What phone do you have, and what case have you got? Share some gadget love. You can even go post pics of your funky cases over at the Facebook page!

That is super good. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
I can’t wait to finish it! So impatient! ^_~
Shut up, I just bought te same exact one in white for my phone last night!! We’re phone twinsies =} I also bought 2 silicone cases from Amazon: one that looks like an old school Gameboy and another that looks like a cassette tape! (I dropped my phone on concrete yesterday and cracked my seafoam green case.. Womp womp) Yay for fun accessories!
Twinzies! Yay! ^_^ Those silicone ones sound totes neat too!
OMG….you must be in heaven!!!!
You know me preeeeetty well. ❤
I wanted that iphone case so bad! I settled on one that looks like an old school gameboy screen instead. I can’t wait to see your finished case! It’s going to be EPIC!
You can have more than one! Mix ‘n’ match! ^_^
This post made my day! I didn’t know cases like this exist but the fact that they do really brightens my little corner of the world.
I know, right!? I was pretty stoked!
You should totally do one! I had a look at your work; it’s amazing! Thanks for dropping by. ^_^
oh my god, could you BE any clevererer?! I have a Little Twin Stars case that I bought from Kiddyland in Harajuku. Would you expect anything else? 🙂
I bought the Otter thingy that is all drop proof and whatnot. I needed PROTECTION, including a screen cover. It’s fantastic!
Great idea!
my phone is sosososo dated. ugh! i can’t wait to see this finished, sir! stitch fasterrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
thank you so much for writing about these cases – I want one, I need one, I’ve ordered one and now I can’t wait to stitch it.
Love it, great idea…I’m only sad I can’t join you in your iPhone decorating venture, as mine is not a 4. I will live precariously through you. 🙂
