Step 7: Sew on Pop Buttons

You don't want the iPod to fall out the end so we need to secure it in, i thought about using a normal button but they are fiddly and i wanted to be able to open with one hand.

So I decided to use pop buttons, you just sew either side on. I decided to use two pop buttons so it was secure.

GET A THIMBLE, its like a little metal thing you put on your finger, i only found out about these little wonders after i put the needle under my nail 3 TIMES Believe me it hurts and it keeps hurting. Get one.

Could I use Velcro?

Do the buttons scratch the phone when sliding it in and out? You could probably make the strip longer by a couple inches and use Velcro, so it folds over and seals on the outside. This way you won't scratch your screen up.

I have one of those super strong screen protectors, but yes you should be carefull

I thought so too...not the coarse velcro though, my Zen armband has a really soft and gentle velcro with shorter 'hooks' that are less dangerous than the traditional 'long and scary (to the beautiful screens of beautiful things) hooks'.
