Forest Cobbler Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 We're toying with the idea of stocking some basic phone covers, no-one else in our potty little shopping centre sells them and we keep being asked. Should we just buy them off ebay or is there a wholesaler that any of you could recommend? Thanks, Valerie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkybob Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Friend of mine had a phone shop. He told me he only stocked cases so passing punters knew he sold and repaired mobile phones. He told me they go out of fashion faster than womens clothes. Most of his shop walls where covered in phone cases and he sold about 3 a week. I am sure someone will say otherwise but thats what i was told. We sell mobile charges/cables in our hardware shop and they do ok but then they dont take up loads of room and dont change very often.

Forest Cobbler Posted August 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 I was worried about the fashion aspect, and how each new phone release is a different size to the one before. So your friend's experience does not really surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bispoke and better quality. very cool I'm not a cobbler, but am interested in learning a bit of leathercraft - maybe just for a hobby, unless I have a knack for it I wanna make some watch bands but I've been told to start with something bigger like a card holder/wallet first.

Perplexus Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 A good place to start would be Nigel Armitage’s or Ian Atkinson’s YouTube videos. They both have some excellent tutorials on leathers, techniques, dyes, etc. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8urn9l3pybW5LztUa6zbOA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLkCG-505-1t0rYlgBTSnpQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
