These clips are in a folio cover for my tablet but I want to buy smaller ones to make a custom phone case. The problem is, I have no idea what they’re officially called. Corner clips, tablet clips or any kind of name I can think of Googling all turns up a dozen different WRONG things.
With a Papermate pen for scale…
I know I’ve seen them used for other things but I can’t remember exactly what. The minute someone tells me I’m probably gonna face palm from this brain fart but until then I’m pulling my hair out. HALP!
Thanks @anon13011326! Sadly, Google does not agree. So far the closest thing I’ve found is a heavy duty hook and eye but it’s still not exactly what I need. It would take a lot of fiddling to make it work.
The rave hooks would be easier to fasten the elastic part to but may be harder to bend if the inside diameter isn’t exactly right. I really need one side to be longer than the other as the hook from the hook and eye is.
Do they come in a fine enough gauge for a small cell phone though? A friend of mine said if I get the right size of the hook and eye he can uniformly bend the circle ends around the way I need them so I need to hit the craft stores this week. It’s still really annoying me that I can’t find the exact name of exactly what kind of clips these are. I know I’ve seen them used for other things relating to crafts, fabric or upholstery.
Thanks for all your help! If anyone really does find the name of the exact clips I’m still interested, for the sake of my sanity if nothing else, lol.
The hook and eye pic I posted is meant for heavy winter coats, lol. Try to keep in mind, this is for a cell phone. The hook part needs to be much bigger and wider spaced than the hooks on a bra. Then again, I don’t know the kinds of women you might know. They may very well need industrial sized hooks on their melon hoisters.
