Canon SD780 case from an Altoids tin

Step 6A bit of padding

A bit of padding
As is the tin is a pretty tight fit but there is a little bit of room for the camera to jostle around. To make sure the camera is well protected we'll add a little material to the inside of the tin. There are multiple options here, thin foam or soft cloth would be good choices. Craft foam would probably be ideal but that's not the type of stuff I usually have lying around (I don't even know if they sell it where I'm from).

I chose some thin white foam packaging from a recent electronics purchase. Simply use some double sided tape and secure it down. Depending on the thickness of material your using you might be able to have two pieces of material, one in the lid and one inside the can.

Voila, you should have a spiffy way to protect your little pocket camera! If you want to you can take it a step further and paint the tin, etch it , or copper plate it for that steam punk look.
