Hi all,

I made a similar holder, inspired by Kokuyo A6 "Worksupport Notebook" ノ-414 http://item.rakuten.co.jp/kokuyo/4901480096421/

Materials:
- Elastic strap (wide bra strap is good, pinch the missus' or girlfriend's lol)
- Rigid plastic (I got mine from from recycled packaging)
- Thick cardboard*

General instructions:
- Cut two holes with a sharp chisel. Make four parallel cuts then cut the ends.
- Staple one end of the elastic strap to the plastic backing, measure with the pen, staple both ends, then replace staples (one by one) with figure of eight stitching*.
- To even out the inside of the cover, paste a cardboard with a cutout.
- Cover it with whatever if you want... I left mine open.
- Done.

*optional.

Here, I will let the pictures do the talking.
