5 minute Shock-Resistant Camera Case for Under $5

Step 6 Now for the Hard Part

Oh, hey! You're done!  That's it - no hard part at all.  Put your camera in your new case and hit the road.  Or, if you're feeling generous, make a bunch more for your friends. Make cases for your phone or mp3 player.  You've got all that squishy stuff left over, after all.  It makes a great, thoughtful (and inexpensive!) gift that your friends will love.  Just ask Randofo!

Very nice project. Great idea and one that I think would be wonderful for adapting for use with an Amazon Kindle.

One thing though: Considering how small the amount of material outside the stitching is, why not position the velcro pieces so that they mate on the sides opposite where they are currently placed so that the final product can be turned inside out with the stitching hidden? It would double the material inside the pocket along the edge, giving a little extra padding for shock-proofing the edge of the camera.

This material is very useful for a number of different purposes. I work at a nursing home and we call it "dycem" for some reason. We put a large square of it under wheelchair cushions to prevent the cushions from sliding out and putting the resident at risk of falling onto the floor. I also use it at home between plastic-covered mattresses to prevent them from sliding around. It will also keep sheets tucked in. I also have thought of cutting a small square of the material to prevent my cell phone from sliding out of the small open storage compartment in the care as I am driving around. It may be the new "duct tape" phenomenon.

I have a portable hard drive that I have been unable to find the right case for. This will be perfect. Thanks for a great idea.

Neat, and a good use for the "squishy stuff". Have you tried turning the case inside out to hide the stitched edges? Of course, you'd need to sew the velcro on the opposite sides of the lid and case front...
