  • I've worked with Tandy leather projects like this for years & I can see that you had fun with this. However, I do agree with a previous poster. You spent $42 on materials. I spent $30 on a case at B&N that is way nicer then the one you made. It is molded perfectly for my nook. If you are going to make a case yourself then take a blank piece of leather & construct it from scratch. It would have cost you only a few dollars in leather & would be a very simple & easy design. $42?? Why buy a kit??

  • @rob25910 The pre-stitched kit was only $12. The other $30 was for the dye, sealer, and tools. This was my first leather working project. So I had to buy everything, tools and all. Secondly the entire point of doing this was to create a custom case, as you can't buy a Doctor Who themed cover from B&N. And the cases you buy from B&N are sealed, so the leather they are made from can no longer be tooled or dyed.

    A) It's on par with the lower-end cost of Kindle/Nook covers mass-produced and off-the-shelf.

    B) This is customizable to whatever you want.

    @enoughsaidatl

    You've got that right! =)

  • I think comments are funnier and more interesting than the videos. LOL!

  • This is just my own opinion, but if it cost you roughly $37 all together, why not just pay for a case? Thats just a thought... :)

  • Please watch your own video. Next time, please record it from the other side of your workspace; that way we will be able to see what you are doing rather than watching the back of your left hand & arm & wondering what is going on out of our sight.

    Thanks for making the video; it does help.

  • good job i learned alot
