Duct Tape iPod Touch Slip Case For Dirty Conditions

Duct Tape iPod Touch Slip Case For Dirty Conditions
Work or play in a dirty environment? I do, and I like to listen to my iPod while I'm at it. I decided to make this and share it with the world.

What you will need:
1 Clear Plastic Freezer Bag
Duct Tape
Clear Packaging Tape
X-Acto Knife or Box Cutter

The purpose of the bag is to protect from water and dust. It makes a pretty decent barrier. It also makes it easy to remove your iPod.

Place your iPod into the back at the bottom corner making sure you use the back side of the bag so the label isn't blocking the screen. Make sure it's in there nice and snuggly with the edges of the bag!

Proceed to cut around the iPod. Make sure you leave about 1.5 inches of slack on the vertical side and cut just about flush to the top of the iPod horizontally.

Next, tape the vertical edge of the back to the back of the iPod. Make sure it's not too tight or else you won't be able to remove your precious easily.
