I love making my own phone cases. Traditionally I've made new case for trips or significant events, and I have dozens lying about my house. I upgraded my phone and saw the perfect opportunity to really show off the patina that something that is so often used can do
I didn't order it, I made it. The process of ordering the leather and case was easy; I have the contact of a phone case factory and the leather I bought from Taobao (I live in China, this is essentially an Amazon equivalent)
