Welcome to the forum. Nice first post!
This is a great case you made, well done. To make it perfect, you ought to shorten the bottom screw so the head sits flush, like the top one though. Still, I like the materials you used better than the bland faux leather Sony uses for their covers. |

Thnx,
yes I am just waiting to get to my Dremel. I just guessed it was finished enough to show the world. It is functional and everything, but the best thing I like about it that it is personal and unique... |

That looks great. What did you use inside the fabric to make it stiff?

well,
like I said I don't have pictures of the whole process, and this would be useless without pictures :-) If you take a look at any book binding tutorial, I think you will understand what I did different than a normal book binding. This is a good tutorial: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-...Hardback-Book/ I have a cad drawing you can download on my site, of the bracket that's in the middle of the case. If I make another one, I'll make sure to photograph the whole process and make a tutorial :-) |
