I have a basic cell phone. It's about six years old and a hot pink flip style. (Stop snickering!) The only thing keeping me from switching to a better phone is that cell phone coverage is very spotty in Chilly Hollow. Even when I drive to the nearest large towns, the phone won't work much of the trip. So I don't bother with the latest phone since the functions that are so cool aren't available unless you can actually get onto a phone network. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean I don't lust after a really cool cell phone case. If I did have a fancy phone, I'd stitch a themed case, that's for sure! Courtesy of the DMC blog, I just discovered easy instructions on how to make your own plus a link to a company that makes stitchable cases (second link).

The other way to go is to have a photograph of your favorite piece of needlework made into a phone case. Like Tricia did. How cool is this? It's expensive but still when I win the lottery and install a cell phone tower in my back yard....

Thanks for sharing- I actually just bought two cases from here: http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/item/8333-Leese-Design-iPhone-4-Cross-Stitch-Case
Super fast shipping, great quality and it comes with some threads and design ideas!
Thanks for the tip, Meredith!
There are plenty of cases that you could buy for around $5. However, you should never opt for them as they are almost always low quality cases that are just for show and nothing else. Instead you should buy cases that are specially crafted for your phone. The cases should be durable so as to survive under all conditions such as falls, rains and so on.
