View Full Version : Glue to bond plastic/leather

I have a dinky little mobile phone but can't buy a reasonable carrycase for it.
I've cut off the carry clip from an old reading glass case which would be ideal to glue to the back of the phone but I've heard that most commercial adhesives aren't successful at bonding polypropelene (which I think the phone case is made from).

Any ideas out there ?

If you can't glue the clip to the leather, perhaps you can sew on another piece of leather to make a pocket for the clip to slip into...

Cheers
