And then just make them thicker. Now we cut out the pattern and transfer it to thick paper or cardboard. And cut it out again. In the corners, you will need to make incisions and give the workpiece a phone shape. By the way, the latter can be done already on a smartphone to precisely fit the dimensions.
Cassette cover
The easiest way to build a portable case is to make it like some kind of packaging. For example, covers for cassettes. Such an accessory will definitely attract the attention of others with its originality.

We retreat one centimeter and circle the phone again. Well, of course, the cover should have a cover. Therefore, without retreating, we circle the phone for the third time. Now we cut the blank, on the new sheet we draw the same shape, only 1 cm wider. It remains to draw the sides. We add one centimeter above and below our pattern and cut it out.

How to make a phone case out of paper? We cut the sheet, put the telephone on a strip of paper and wrap it in it. Mark the edges, remove the phone and glue the edges of the paper. Everything, the cover is ready, it remains to close the top cover, if necessary, shorten it a little.
Hard case
In fact, making a more complex case is simple, however, it will take much more time. But if you select a scheme, then a novice will be able to cope with this task.
Consider how to make a phone case according to the scheme. It can be printed on a printer and slightly adapted to the model of your mobile phone. The case to protect your device is going to quickly if you correctly cut the patterns.
By the way, it is better to make them out of cardboard or thick paper, since a regular landscape sheet will not be able to hold its shape for a long time. After you have drawn a pattern, outline the seams with dashed lines. After all, it is on them that you will collect the cover. In these places, it is worth making incisions with a concentration knife. When all the preparatory work is finished, you can start collecting origami. We turn the design along the notch lines. Well, the cover is ready.
Brown paper case
One of the simple and effective ways to decorate your mobile phone is to wrap it with beautiful packaging. For this purpose, it is not necessary to take paper in which gifts are wrapped; any color sheet is suitable. On it later it will be possible to stick funny stickers or to paint with felt-tip pens. The wrapping paper mobile phone case will be assembled on the basis of the existing silicone bumper. It is to him that we will stick colored sheets. How to do it? We put the phone on paper and wrap it so that there are quite distinguishable contours. We take out the phone, cut out the layout of the cover from paper to size. We attach it to the silicone case with a glue gun or double-sided tape. We bend the edges of the paper under the bumper and fix it there with glue.
Envelope Case
One of the easiest ways to protect your phone from the environment is to put your smartphone in a protective case. Which can be a paper envelope. Why not? In addition, this version of the case can be made in various variations. In the first case, it will be just a paper case for the phone, and in the second case with a window. Choose only you which method will be the most acceptable and convenient to use.
It will not be difficult to assemble the envelope if you are guided by the scheme during operation.
It can be done in the classical way by bending all the corners of the paper rectangle to the middle, or it can be done in a more modern version. In this case, you need to bend the sheet of paper by ¾, glue the sides with glue and cover it all with a thin paper strip that will remain on top. To make the envelope easier to open and close, a magnet should be glued to its “cover”. And the same magnet must be glued to the opposite side of the envelope. Thus, it will be possible to avoid accidentally opening the case at the wrong time.
Case with window
Such a case can be made independently, or you can simply redo the existing packaging. We will tell you how to make a do-it-
yourself phone case from paper. First we need to make a pattern.
We put the phone on paper and circle it. We retreat 1 cm and circle the phone again. And again, we retreat 1 cm. From the bottom you need to make the indent smaller, and from above it should be 5 cm. We cut out the resulting pattern and transfer it to thick paper. You can use cardboard for this purpose. In the front part you need to outline a hole. It should copy the shape of the phone screen. To make it easier to do this, you can make a pattern. Cut a hole. Now we need to fold our case. It will resemble a box. If desired, you can make a hole for charging.
If you do not want to go in such a difficult way, then you can ease your task. To do this, you need to find a box that is ideal for the size of your phone. If it is not very beautiful, then you can glue it with wrapping paper or paint it. It is advisable to use a spray can. Apply carefully and evenly. And the last - we cut a window to fit the screen.
Smart case made of paper
Such a device will simultaneously protect your phone and serve as a stand for it. How to make it? Again, you have to make a pattern. It will be 3 rectangles. After we have made a pattern, we transfer it to a beautiful thick paper. It is advisable to make the rectangles a little larger than the phone. Cut out the cover. Now, using double-sided tape, glue one part to the lid. Our smart case is ready.
If you plan to watch movies on the phone, you will need to make a deep rut in the front of the case. So the cover can perform not only a protective function, but also act as a stand. What the design should look like, you can look at the photos presented in the article.
