Rebuild Google Cardboard

im rebuilding my c-board to fit a larger phone

since my phone is 5.5" it did not fit inside

you find many good/ugly hints how to do this. but they do not work

so i made a complete overhaul of the look

its semi-complete (there are things i still can do to inpove it but for the tuturial i let it stay like it is)

cut the remaining cardboard that came with the case like showed. (i used a pencil)

you can add some tape and dual sided tape to inprove stability and prevent sweat damage

Inproving the Sides

use the made new bottem and some cardboard

in the size of the sides of the original case

then use tape to fix it togher

use a pencil to mark the location of the bulking out part of the side.

scratch over it with a pencil to make it deeper

Finished

adding more shape
