Over the summer holidays i've been doing a lot of stuff, and like a real man, i wore jeans. However the things i do are so awesome the jeans couldn't take it any more and big holes apeared at the knees.
Usually this would be fine and i would just keep wearing them, but for some bizarre reason all the silly kids think its cool to wear pre-ripped jeans, so not wanting to look like lesser men i went out and bought some new man-jeans.
So i decided to put my old jeans to a good use and make an iPod case, i wanted to keep the coolest part about jeans which is the leather label on the waistband. Now like most guys i don't know a whole lot about needles and sewing so i decided the easiest way to make it was just to cut a strip out, fold it over and sew it together. Turned out pretty easy, however i did plant the needle under my nail a few times which really really really hurt.
Why you should make one now:
Mine is made for an iPod Touch, the case will work for many gadgets though
Check out the pictures below, it looks awesome and you wont find a manlier case until you make one out of stone (or fire)

They rarely have much wear, because nobody wears a 2 or 4 for long.
They either grow out of them or die of an eating disorder.
