Hello and and welcome back...to myself. Unfortunately I can't explain away the 7 month hiatus between this and my last post, but sometimes that's just the way some things are. I suppose I have Apple, their ridiculous prices, and my mother to thank for this, which will shortly become and Instructables-like post. To explain: I just recently caved into popular consumer culture and purchased a macbook pro to replace my 2nd withering Dell. I received a free ipod touch with it, but the package was still enormously expensive. I started looking into cases for both of the latter in order to protect my investment, but my investment was such that I do not feel comfortable enough with my current funds that I am willing to shell out another wad of cash to meet their outrageously priced protective equipment. While scouring the internets for cheaper options, my mother scoffed at the necessity and told me to make my own out of "duct tape or something," citing as her examples some of the amazing innovations people have done (wallets, dresses, etc) with the wonderful aforementioned tape. Though she was joking, she planted the seed of a brilliant idea in the mind of one tired of seeking other people's creativity. Why not have a customizable case? I immediately applied myself to Amazon's wares and found exactly what I was looking for: a perfectly clear $2 ipod case (free shipping for students ^_^). Here's where the instructions comes in:
Instead of buying a case you like with a cool design, simply print out a picture of it and affix under the clear case and voila! Instant (and protected) design for your ipod! You can put virtually anything cool and ipod-sized in there! I reccommed:
-decorated business cards
-cool clothing tags
-unique playing cards
-embellished bookmarks
-funny nametags (i.e. Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father...)
-your favorite movie tickets
-exotic candy wrappers
