I love this handy little case. I can attach it to my purse or through my belt loop, I use it all the time! Actually I have several different ones that I use all the time.
The pattern is adjustable to whatever size phone you have. You basically want to get the first 3 rows (** the oval shape) to custom fit the bottom of your phone, then continue on from there. It's a very easy pattern!

Cell Phone Case
Hook size: G - 6, 4.25mm
Yarn: Worsted Weight, #4, (I used Red Heart Acrylic)
Instructions:
Make a chain approximately the width of your phone. (For mine I started with ch 11)
row 1 - sc in 2nd ch from hook & sc in each stitch putting 2 sc in the last stitch (to go around the corner)
row 2 - then sc up the other side, 2 sc in end stitch (to go around the corner)
row 3 - sc along that side.
**(At this point you should have a long flat oval, this is the bottom of the cell phone case and should be approximately the same length & width as the bottom of your phone.)
row 4 - sc in back loops only all the way around (this makes the sides of the case turn upward)
row 5 - sc around
row 6, etc. - sc around
continue crocheting around, to a length about 1/2 inch shorter than your phone.
Leave yarn attached & start flap-
Flap & buttonhole -
At this point you can see the shape of your case and try it on the phone.
Figure where the back will be & leaving 3 stitches on each side for the straps,
single crochet across turning each row until flap is the length you desire.
Buttonhole rows - (my flap was about 8 stitches wide so I did it like this)
1. sc in the next 2 stitches, ch 4 and sc in the last 2 stitches of the row, turn,
2. sc in the next 2 stitches, 4 sc across the loop, sc in last 2 stitches.
Tie off.
Put your phone in the case and line up the buttonhole flap to position your button.
I find a button with a shank works best.
Straps
Attach yarn on one side, sc in next 3 stitches, turn, sc in 3 stitches, turn & continue until strap is desired length.
Attach yarn at other side and sc in next 3 stitches and repeat as for step 1.
Loop end of straps through snap & hook and sew down.
I used what is called a "simplex snap" which you should be able to get at a hardware store. The size is 1
1/4 inches. I actually found mine at Fred Meyer Department store:
Weave in all your ends and you're done!
Add a flower, embroider or appliqué your favorite design, however you want to embellish it. Or leave it plain for a more masculine look.
