King Tut's car GPS's leather case

Some time ago I've made a simple slip case for my car GPS to be able to store it when it's too hot or too cold in the car. I managed to lose this sleeve so I had to make another one.

What could I use to keep it shut? Any kind of button, maybe the bag magnets I've got laying around?
But hey, the back of the GPS has 2 strong mangets to keep it on its windshield holder.

Which coin of mine is magnetic? The Indian Tiger? Oh, the One Pound from Egypt wouuld be perfect!

Evening work with a wannabe ipod+inEars case - after sewing the sides while positioning the coin.


Punched a hole into the front and sewed the coin, edges still rough



Edges nice and smooth




I haven't found a good way to dye the leather and I'm not sure if I want to add a line to the edge of the top.
Maybe I'll just leave it as it is and let it age. Most of the time it will lay in the car empty, we'll see how it will stand against the heat and the cold :)

Leather fobs, car key cover and bag strap



For my sons, you can guess the names




Bag strap for my mother. She's a nurse (that's why the cross), born in the year of the coin and she's the head of the station (#1)





Coffee maker RF key (on job)





Guess I have to make a new Kennedy fob...
The Indian Rupee is on my work badge, couldn't stand the cheap plastic thingy





Mazda car key cover







Slightly ruined it when I tried to add a Mt. Fuji imprint from an old '1 Sen' coin

Should have done that before sewing but the coin came late :P



I also removed the part that covers the key, you never know when you gonna need it.

Coin toss/ flip coin purse


I've decided to make a simpler coin holder for my 5 Mark 1902

It's meant to be used by my friend for the coin toss at the beginning of the American Football games where he's serving as the head referee







This plan was not the right way to go ;)
