Floppy Disk Wallet

GREAT FOR A PRESENT FOR YOUR GEEKY FRIEND OR A GOOD WAY TO USE THOSE UNUSED FLOPPIES YOU HAVE LYING AROUND.

This is a wallet i thought of while sitting at my computer looking at the wallet competition. Basically it is a 3 1/2 inch floppy disk which you take apart and put back together and put money in. It's pretty small and has a bit of bend in it. Also This is my first instructable and I am sorry if someone else has already done this and i have not seen it. And sorry for some of the bad pictures, they were taken at night in a really badly lit room. It is very simple and they do not take too long to make. I am entering this in the wallet challenge so please be honest about what you think and any tips you could give me as it's my first time.

Step 1 Getting All Your stuff

This really doesn't require many tools to make it but you basically just need:

1 A small flathead screw driver
2 A floppy disk
3 At least 5 small screws
4 Screwdriver to fit the small screws
5 Glue gun and glue (optional)

So you go out and get this stuff and then come back ready to make it

Yeah-what conadia said...

[memyselfand1]

This is a brilliant idea, like most of the ideas on this web site. =)

[daviddd]

Not too bad, it does look a but awkward to use, but i think its a great idea!

[Ezza]

Alright Idea. This could be developed into something really cool. I think the best idea here is the use of the black sliding thingy as a latch.

[Derin]

well dremel

[Tierra]

Mmm yeah I like the idea of making a wallet out of a floppy disk. It would be good to somehow hinge and fasten it without the screws, and using that slidey bit as a latch is a sweet idea. Just so it looks like a normal disk so there is less temptation for someone to steal it, but you'd want to make sure you didnt mistake it for an old disk and threw it away or something.. that would be lame.

[LightningCrash]

maybe you should have hinged the bottom somehow (packing tape or otherwise) use magnets to keep it closed voila! i was kind of excited when i saw floppy disk wallet, but to be honest i was a little underwhelmed at the execution.

[The Rocketizer]

Yeah ok maybe i should have thought of using packaging tape but one of the reasons i made it like i did was so that it still looked essentially like a floppy disk, so that its secret and if your into computers, like some of my friends are it will retain most of it's retroness. Good ideas about the magnets though but because it was a short competition i did not have enough time to think of this as i wanted to get it up quickly. Hopefully some other people will give me a better rating but thanks for looking anyway.

[FrenchCrawler]

Nice job... Listen to LightningCrash and use magnets like I did to keep it closed.

[FrenchCrawler]

Never mind, yours open at the other end :P

[nagutron]

This plus the accordian walletaccordian wallet would be killer. Start remixing, guys!
