Make a Pocket Watch Chain for Your iPod

I was walking in a department store one day, bored out of my mind, when I happened across some pocket watch chains and thought to myself: "Pocket watches are so archaic, why would anyone wear one when they have iPods and iPhones?". Then I thought, why not make a pocket watch chain for an iPod? I figured out a pretty simple way using the old iPod charging cable and a ball-chain. I hope this Instructible proves easy to do, and useful to all of you makers out there. I know that for me, having this chain has saved it from countless demises. Once on my bike it fell out of my pocket, and once while running the same thing happened. Both times the chain saved it. It also makes it a lot easier to access your iPod (no more pocket digging). Consider it the missing lanyard to the iTouch or iPhone.
