Cell Phone / iPod /MP3 Player Armoured Case

I was inspired by another member who made a wallet out of an old bike tire. I used his base design and modified it into a case that will take your sensitive electronic device and turn it into an armoured behemoth, worthy of a fully operational Death Star.

Step 1 Materials and Tools

Many thanks to ineluctable for the awesome idea of using old knobby tires for a wallet; this is directly inspired by that project.
For this project you'll need:
An old bike tire
Pliers
Heavy duty shears/ scissors
Hole puncher
Pop riveter
Hammer
Punch [to remove rivets you may mess up]
Zip ties, small and medium; use black ones as they are UV resistant
Electrical tape [It was just in the picture...how'd that get in there...?]
Slotted buttons or a fastex buckle or other closure method.
The inevitable slices of bike tire inner tube.

Perhaps if you put some silicone based glue between the sides you can water proof it. if you take strong glue you might even skip the rivvets, but then you loose the armored look ofcourse.

looks nice still!

You should find a way to waterproof it. Great job though
