Your Gadgets Never Felt So Good

All perennial phone droppers understand the struggle. Try as we may, that darn mobile device may as well be rubbed down with oil because it seems impossible to not inadvertently send it flying. One particularly unfortunate soul recounted the story of how he dropped his phone into the machinery of a roller coaster, which led to the train getting stuck on the upside-down portion of the track. We have no advice on how to avoid a catastrophe of that sort, but the right choice in a case can protect your electronic devices from your klutzy habits. Sure, it’s convenient to simply hop on over to a Best Buy and purchase an OtterBox. The premier name in heavy-duty phone cases may very nearly save your phone from any calamity, but where is the fun in that? For people who prefer handmade items that don’t come a dime a dozen, a little DIY know how helps transform felt into a unique, fun cover for your phone, laptop, or tablet.
