New mobile phones seem to arrive weekly, and with them all the accessories and things you need to have to get full use out of them. We decided to take a step backwards and make our own galaxy 6 wooden case, starting with making our own 3-ply plywood back. This made out case very strong and we were also able to make it very thin ... maybe not a thin as some commercial cases, but this is wood, and not something everyone else will have. It did take a bit of experimenting to figure out what worked best for this case, but once we knew that, it was suprisingly quick and easy to build this case, being careful to make sure your measurements are accurate. The hardest part was waiting for the finish to dry, and after 4 coats of Saicos, it turned out amazing. - Навчання та стиль
I made a case for an iPhone 4 based on your previous video - worked really well - this one looks like a improvement with the thinner back - thanks for posting this
+Steve SteveS Hi Steve, would love to see pics of your iPhone case some time ... always nice to see what others are doing :)
That's a great case Collin - I like how you addressed even the smallest of details involved in this project.
+The ShavingWood Workshop Thanks Tommy
Great project Colin, well done.
+Carl Jacobson Thanks Carl ... now if I know you, I'll be you'll figure out a way to make this case on a lathe ;)
Thanks buddy ... always great to hear from you
Lots of very good tips there,what are the little tools called?
A great project idea Colin. It might have been an idea to make the case from your spalted wood. Take care.
Derek
+GiddyUp994 Hmm .... good idea Derek, I might revisit that in the future
YOU ARE TALENT COLIN !!!
+илья 65 Thank you for the kind words
Slick looking case, I been wanting to make a case like this for my iPhone. Thank You
-Steven
Galaxy 6 isn't a iPhone
+WigWagWorkshop Thanks Steven, I liked this version much better than the previous, but there are still improvements that can be made ... would love to see your version when done.
Great idea using the tape on the miter saw.
+Ed Waggoner Sr. (Papatch) Hi Ed ... thanks, yes ... I am always concerned about small woodworking pieces and safety and the tape thing worked well
great project idea. I would want to figure out how to use the power and volume buttons with the case on. plus it would be nice to have the corners rounded.
thanks again for the idea starter!
+Nick Karpen Hi Nick, yes the power and volume buttons are not easy to get at in this case, but I personally don't use them but it would be easy to sand some recesses in the edges just deep enough to utilize them easier ... lots of different ideas that can be added to this idea, if you make one maybe you will share some with us :)
This is awesome and I really like the darkness of the wood goes well with the white phone great work.
Really nice Colin keep it up great protect
that look beautiful I really like the look of darker wood and with the bright screen it really complements it nicely great work, if only I had the tools to make this. look forward to what you show next.
Love the trick for cutting accurately on the miter saw. Great tip! (Fun project too!)
+Jeremy McMahan Thanks Jeremy, appreciate your comments
cool as always! why contact cement and not wood glue?
+Tim “tk249” K Great question Tim, you could use wood glue, but then you would have to press the three parts together with a clamp and let them sit, and it would work just fine. I used the contact cement because it was a bit quicker and more convenient for me that's all.
Thanks for asking ...
É UMA ARTE PARABÉNS!!!
+lucas regis cardoso Thank you Lucas for your comments :)
looks nice colin! i have the s5 still but once i get the 6 ill be sure to make this .. i love the walnut you used
+Joe basementwoodworking Thanks Joe, yes the walnut turned out with a nice rich finish
+WoodWorkWeb for sure!i love walnut. the look and it smells good too i think..lol i really like Peruvian walnut I purchased some from Rockler a couple months back and made a hope chest for a relative and MAN! it looks beautiful as a face frame with cherry.
+Joe basementwoodworking send me pics if you want and I'll post them on our FB page
what an AWESOME job
+Tim Davey Thanks Tim
Colin, great job.
Congrats

+L ZACCARO Thanks for commenting
I did not notice any opening to power on and off plus the volume control? Thanks for posting, Nice little project.
+Tom Pritchard Yes, there are opening for both of use, but they are recessed and not real easy access ... something to work on for future versions
Nice and very useful project Colin. Thanks for the posting it.
+Ron C Thanks Ron
Very nice. I just 'fell over' the vid and, having only recently decided to make one for my gx3note.
I'm going for the same idea but with a flap. It will contain a notepad to the right which will be a protection for the screen and a slide in to the left.
I now use an old year calender/note pad 1991! with a translucent plast on one side and the phone slips under that and can still touch function - and it affords all but protection from pine needles, saw dust and forest bugs. (so the phone socket gave up quickly!)
I'll try post a photo somewhere if I actually don't just cut wood, but also time enough to do it! Yours looks just great and the oil brought up a lovely finish. The plywood is a nice construction method.
+owpeterj This was a fun project, would love to see your version when done
+WoodWorkWeb One more reason to do it. I live fine without a phone - but as a tool, well it's like a multitool and this 'case' just the ticket! and so's being in the woods. Thankyou and be well.
A nice wood burning design would be a great addition to the back and show off more of your wood working skills
+Steve Schmor Thanks Steve, good idea ... I haven't done that for a long time, maybe I will get back to that ... thanks buddy
Hey... how do ya press the buttons....!!
beautiful case but one problem where the hole for the speakers or the 3.5mm jack
how do u push the buttons?
Hi, Mr. Jaime Maussan. I know you dedicate to UFO fenomen. XD
how much would you charge me to make me a lg g3 case?? im serious inbox me
can u teach how to make phone case using popsicle stick... for lenovo a880 or a889... plzzzz
Dekwan Khadari lmao Popsicles sticks Just buy a proper case bro it's not strong enough
woodworkweb you should have drill a hole on the top of the phone because theres a sensor on it
How about a wooden watch?
I would like to see you make a case for an iPad please
Hmmm ... think I will put that on my list, thanks for the suggestion
WoodWorkWeb ...what comes to mind is the safety feature because it's easy to drop an iPad especially on the side,thanks for the reply.
Hugh O'Kelly What I have been thinking is to make such a cover for over a fall-safe cover, that way you can be sure about fall safety while still having a custom case. Ofcourse, it is not as cool as an all wood system, but I don't know how to have a trustable fall safe design
Merci
+Omar Kadi Thank you Omar

Hey, just a one remark, before he does decide to sell it, you might want to take a peek at Hyezmar's Woodworking Bible, even though it's not complete. But hey, free is free :)
