Micro-Fiber iPod/iPhone Case

I needed a case to protect my shiny new iPod Touch, The problem was i didn't want a bulky silicone case and nor did i want a fashionable but unpractical one, this and i didn't want to buy something i can make :P

I brainstormed some ideas and my biggest concern was i didn't want the materials to have sharp edges that could scratch the screen, after searching through my some of my limited resources i found some black foam, i also found a microfiber cloth to line the inside of the case with.

As the case is in your pocket or bag the weight of the iPod/iPhone shifts and it rubs against the microfiber cloth which in turn polishes and cleans your device ! Simple !

Now this is how you make it !

Ahh i bought a big few meters of this roll at a vintage rally near me for 50p!

Its useful for putting over your desk while soldering etc

not to be a wanker or anything but this is WAYYYY bigger than the silicone case i had for my iphone... i've since moved on to an even bulkier wood one that's still smaller than this one...

Ah yes but mine has better protection !

Sure, but it must look like you're carrying around a 3.5" IDE hard drive in your pocket. I'm sure it would work perfect in a bag or purse, but for carrying in a pocket it's just too big.

i laugh at every one of you, i got the first 2nd gen to be sold at our walmart, they only got 3 in on the first shipment and were backordered for 3 weeks after that, needless to say, i was lucky :D

I got a new job and worked for months for mine :P

AnarchistAsian in reply to =SMART=Jan 7, 2009. 7:35 PM

most people get them for Christmas...

damn, i wish i could get a job, nowadays yard work is done by... uhh... "immigrant workers", i won't get into that subject, but anyways

there really isn't too much stuff that kids can do for jobs now... ^{in the u.s.}

Amen, I'm 15 and can not find a job that you don't have to be at least 16 for. so far all i've found is chickfila but you still can only work for like 4 hours a day.

AnarchistAsian in reply to oldanvilyoungsmithJan 8, 2009. 3:10 PM

well, there are some places in some states that allow it at 14, but i'm not 14, plus i don't live in utah anymore.... =-(

and i would NEVER EVER work at chickfila, because that's soooo degrading to serve people in a fast food resturant... maybe a good resturant...

Money is money... right? I would rather get money working at a fast food restaurant, than nothing...

AnarchistAsian in reply to mg0930mgJan 31, 2009. 7:52 PM

yeah, i guess.... but still...

Good idea, I love having a nice clean ipod screen :D

=SMART= (author) in reply to SunbanksMar 2, 2009. 2:13 PM

Thanks !, I hate smudges :P

Sunbanks in reply to =SMART=Mar 2, 2009. 4:11 PM

I hate smudges too :P They annoy me a lot. I finally got a screen protector yesterday though so I'm not as worried about smudging the actual screen. I'm always afraid I'll get a permanent smudge on it...
