Making an Altoids iPod Case

Step 4 Cut the lid to fit the hole

The hole you just cut probably sits above the line of where the lid of the can sits, so if it does, you'll want to do this.

Close the case without anything in it and mark the part of the lid that overlaps the jack hole. Cut it out leaving a couple of mm around it so your headphones can make a good connection with your iPod. This is important because otherwise the lid wont close and your iPod could fall out.

Note: you might want to push the metal against the wall of the inside of the case so that the headphone jack and the iPod will connect all the way.
