my first smaller ipod case hack



My First (Smaller) Ipod Case Hack

Everybody's asking, didn't you case mod an Ipod previously? Yes. And I

blogged it. But, since I am a cheap and easy hustler, I will again.

Worth an update as I have a better camera now and it is topical as it

was just in Wired magazine. Not with a credit or anything, but it is

there.

It's a German police flashlight that I bought at a garage sale. The

insides were drenched in leaky battery acid, so it's days of

flashlight use were over. When I was stripping out the guts, I

realized it was damn near Ipod size. After a quick test fit to confirm

it was indeed the correct size, I lined the interior with the

playboard from an old 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea boardgame. Because

A) I garage sale a lot, B) have flat files and C) am insane, I have

amassed stacks of old boardgame boards. Nice dense cardboard.
