I-Deck Ipod nano Case

I took a deck of cards and Hollowed out a space inside to fit my Ipod Nano.
Then I fitted the Ipod inside and mounted a card on the Back and one with a viewing hole on the front..
You can even still use the click wheel and its easy to find because it lines up right underneath the bottom circle on the card back design....

this looks cool, but i don't think i'm craft enough to do it!! :) plus, i have the nano 4g, or chromatic, and this wouldn't work for it anyways. :( btw, can someone tell me how to change my account pic? i can't do it.

I loved the idea of a card case for an i pod nano! but i think you could of worded it better, no offense but it was very hard to follow what you where saying. i found that using double sided tape didn't hold very well so when i was done using the dremel to hollow it out i put to coats of epoxy on the outside and inside and that seemed to work great! and i used a electric drill for the hole for the headphones.

wow thats awesome! I'm working on a case similar to this for my ipod touch, but its made out of a stack of index cards. but I'm probably going to use some of these ideas...

nice... i built a wallet very similiar to this but it was more on a hinge thing...now it looks as if i'll have two decks of cards to carry around in my pocket.

Love it. I may do this for my iPod 5th gen. Though I'll probably have to find something other than a pack of bicycle cards. My favorite part of this is that the iPod is still usable while encased, unlike many iPod cases nowadays.
