50 Uses for Rubber Stamps – Part 11 (DIY Phone Case)

Part 11 of our 50 Uses for Rubber Stamps series brings a great idea for creating your own custom DIY phone case!

49 – DIY Phone Case

Here are the 4 simple steps to creating your own custom phone case.

Supplies

Your phone
A clear phone case
A piece of paper
a pencil
scissors

Step 1: Cut the paper to fit the case

You want the paper to be the correct size to fit in the case without too much extra to spare. The easiest way to do this is to take the case, lay it face down on the piece of paper, and trace the shape of the case. This will give you a good estimate to start with. You can trim to fit as needed.

Step 2: Trace holes for the camera and speaker

Once you have the paper cut to fit, you need to cut out the holes for the camera and speaker. Simply place the paper in the case and use your pencil to trace the speaker and camera holes onto the paper. Cutout these holes and double check to make sure they are lined up correctly.

Step 3: Decorate your new case

This is the fun part! Take your new custom rubber stamp and go to town. No more being limited by the imagination of commercial case designers. Create a one-of-a-kind case that fits your personal style.

Step 4: Assemble your custom phone case

It’s time to put all the pieces together. Put the paper in the case and snap your phone into place. Now you’ve got a custom case that can’t be found on any store shelf.

Step 5: Add some variety

Why stop at one pattern? Use your first design as a template to create more. Take the paper out of the, trace it as many times as you like and rather than one custom case you’ve now got unlimited designs all for the price of one! Want a different colored case to match every outfit? No problem, just trace a new pattern. Change your mind about a style choice? Just create a new style. Unlimited style at minimal cost!

Changing the ink pad in your self-inking stamp

Self-inking stamps like the self-inking Trodat “Printy” stamp make much less mess than stamps that need a separate ink pad for every use. They eliminate the need for ink pads and reduce the risk of ink stains on fingers and clothes. But self-inking stamps still require ink that needs to be changed periodically to maintain that quality, mess-free performance we all love. Replacing the dried up Trodat ink in your self-inking stamp is simple.

Purchase a Replacement Pad

It is important to ensure that the replacement pad is an exact match to your Trodat self-inking stamp. Ink pads cannot be cut to fit or used interchangeably. Simply match the model number of the stamp to the model number of the Printy replacement pad to ensure the correct fit. All of the replacement pads can be found on our website.

Necessary Supplies

Sheet of scrap paper
Trodat replacement pad
Your self-inking stamp

Steps to Replace the Pad

Step 1

Place your stamp on the sheet of scrap paper so that the Trodat logo faces away from you.

Step 2

Locate the thin rectangular insert that indicates the currently installed pad.

Step 3

Press down on the top of the stamp while pressing the small buttons on the sides of the top part of the stamp.

Step 4

Turn the stamp around so the Trodat logo faces you and press the button below the logo.

Step 5

You should see the ink pad pop out slightly from the other side of the stamp.

Step 6

Pull out the old ink pad.

Step 7

Unwrap the new ink pad and insert into the chamber with the inked side face up.

Step 8

Press down on the top of the stamp to lock the pad into place.

Step 9

Use the scrap paper to do a few test prints. Once you get a print with even ink coverage, you are ready to go!

Step 10

Recycle the old ink pad. All Trodat ink is non-toxic.

If you need help replacing the ink pad in your self-inking stamp, just give us a call 1 (850) 7STAMPS for assistance. Our customer service department is more than happy to help with any of your rubber stamp needs!

2 of the Best Rubber Stamps You Never Knew You Needed

Here at RubberStampStation.com, our Trodat stamps have more uses than just addressing envelopes professionally or dating documents. We’ve made it our business to be the number one source of rubber stamps online. We stock the best stamps for every use you can imagine – and a few that you probably haven’t imagined.

1. Identity Theft Protection Stamp

Did you know that something as simple as your credit card number getting into the wrong hands could put you at risk for identity theft? Your personal information must be protected. This includes, but is not limited to your:

social security number
bank information
telephone number

Did you also know that potential identity thieves could go through your trash and find this information on bills, magazine subscriptions, or even junk mail that you never opened such as pre-approved credit card applications? This is why these documents should be shredded rather than simply dumped in the trash. If you don’t have access to a paper shredder, fear not! Rubber Stamp Station has you covered with our Identity Theft Protection Stamp.

This is one of the best stamps for document security as it is designed to make any printed information underneath it completely unreadable. This will not provide 100% protection from identity theft, but it will certainly go a long way toward protecting you and your family.

2. Permanent Clothing Stamp

This is one of the best stamps for:

large families
business professionals
anyone who sends their clothing out to be cleaned away from home

It creates a permanent mark with your name, address, and any other personalized information of your choice. The mark is designed to be truly permanent and withstand wash after wash and it helps ensure that you never lose another shirt at the dry cleaner’s again! This stamp comes in three sizes to accommodate all your custom clothing stamping needs:

All our long-lasting self-inking stamps can be customized through our simple customization process. On our site, it’s easy to make all of our products uniquely your own. Set yourself apart from the rest of the pack and get started at RubberStampStation.com with one of our Trodat stamps today!
