I found this: http://zackwhite.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17213&cat=647&page=1
that strap is 3" wide, an iphone 4s is 2.28" wide. Meaning that I'll have 0.72" for two seams and "bend".. is that a bit narrow for such thick/heavy leather? will I have problems getting it out of the sleeve if I make it of that heavy leather?
Ps: I was planning on a process similar to the one in this guide: http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/diy-project/diy-how-to-make-your-own-great-leather-ipodiphone-case-067510

I think you need to get the leather thinner where you are going to sew. Half thickness is good, then you get the sewn part to be as thick as one side/strap. Hope you understand what I'm saying.
I think I'd use around 5oz. leather lined with 1-2oz leather. for such item.
just my 2 cents

Thanks for the feedback! I think I'll stick to your advice
Any links to good how-toes on sewing lining? -
glue the lining to outer part. and still make the edges/area where to be sewn thinner, even with 5 oz leather.
Get one of these to get edges beveled.

back from yoga, i have to tell you that i'm so sorry, there's no more room for purses.
just work on a backpack for all tough guys secretly wearing stockings underneath their heavy denim… -
i'm no tough guy & i never hide the fact that i wear stockings under my mid-weight Iron Heart's (18 oz devils are mid weight in the scheme of things). you also forgot to mention chaps, be secure in your skin.
back to bizness, what's your next project?

ih forum,
just wanted to show you the jeans of my nine years old son which i made for him early oktober this year.
the way they shred their pants in just that short time is crazy!
surely not worn everyday and often in the washing machine and the dryer.
and some rusty hardware…
have a nice weekend -
bravo, incredible job.
