Now to cover all of the outside of the thing in duct tape to achieve the Snazzy Duct Tape Finish.

Basically, this part is up to you. You can put the duct tape on in horizontal, vertical, circular, random, etc. strips to cover the case. I personally used horizontal strips to cover the case evenly and to provide a base for the detailing.

Tip: Cut slits in the duct tape wherever there is a folding piece or corner, this will make for a nicer looking finish if you're into that sort of thing.

Note: Make sure when going over the folding flap with the tape that you put the tape on with the flap folded past the farthest it will be folded over when closed. This is done to allow the greatest degree of freedom for the flap to move around in.
