Mine's an older model Motorola... I did get a leather case for it when I
bought it, to protect it somewhat... but it doesn't fold up or open
up... just is..   But one can press the Menu key and then the Asterisk
to lock or unlock the keyboard...  Not a smartphone at all... just a
useful dumb phone..   ;)

I got in the habit of turning mine on and bringing it with whenever I
leave the house... mostly because at the time I was caring for a number
of people whose doctors thought they should be able to reach me... and
in some cases, like when someone was in ICU, I'd fully agree with them. 
I don't expect calls much any more, but I've told folks that might
actually need to contact me when I'm not home that the cell phone IS on
when I'm not home to receive calls on the landline.  Assuming, of
course, cell service where I might happen to be...  :)

I'll print it off, and bring with...  maybe with some help this mostly
Eat might manage it...  ;)  Or someone else might be inspired to do
it...  :)

 DD> I made this at my brother's house and my SIL threatened me with

Sounds like, to me...  ;)
