10 for Tuesday: D.I.Y. Phone & Tablet Cases

It seems like most people today have a whole collection of electronic devices: phones, laptops, tablets, e-readers...and so on. These electronics often travel everywhere with us and therefore we want to keep them protected from any bumps or drops. I gathered 10 free tutorials on how to make cases and sleeves to protect these devices. I even found sewing tutorials for phone wallets, a trend I see popping up everywhere. They are for every skill level, whether you sew or crochet (there's even a no sew option!). Let's get crafting!

P.S. Be sure to check out my tutorial for a Touchscreen Phone Armband.
