In January, I finally upgraded my phone after four years from a "dumb" slider by Sony to a "smart" BlackBerry. It was scratched within the first week. I figured out why the screen was damaged: holding the darn thing to my ear, it hit my earrings. I never figured out what scratched the back casing or chipped the shiny bits around the screen and keys.
But I did figure out how to prevent a lot of it from continuing to happen.
I grabbed the leftover teal Red Heart Soft from the bolero, ch'd 20 or so, worked in round until it was tall enough, stitched one end together and had myself a sock for my phone. The kids at work were super impressed that I did that all while they arrived in the morning. My co-workers were amazed even though they'd seen me work on the baby jackets. It was nothing special, just a solution to a problem.
And of course, less than six months after that, I had to revert to my old phone and it didn't matter.
Pictures to come.
