SIMPLE How to make your own Nokia (3100) iPod Player

This instructable is to show how to create a simple "Poor mans iPhone" which I called the nPhone. I was tired of always misplacing my phone and iPod I decided to integrate the two. Why not since the iPhone is so ridiculously expensive. This is a simple mod and if you don't mind messing with your Nokia (3100) or iPod Nano (1st Generation), then have at it!

**Lets be nice here, this is for a class project and I know its not the greatest instructable but please enjoy as its a cool "lame" project : p This is also my first instructable, hopefully I'll have more cool, fun ones to come in the future! :p

Step 1 The Required Pieces and Tools

*****Just a disclaimer: I am not responsible for any personal damages you do to your phone or iPod nano***
Also, if you are not comfortable using a dremel, I seriously do not recommend you proceed with this project.
Here are a few things you will need:
-Old school Nokia 3100 b (or the old school thick soap like ones) ;)
-iPod nano (1st Generation) Or possibly newer one.
-Dremel kit
-Tool Kit
-Glue Gun
-Paint

at least "plastic dip " would be usefull.

Sorry to put you down but this is the most useless, stupid, waste of money, waste of time, waste of technology and poorly built object I have ever seen.

[Helder4u]

sorry to sound negative but i find it not so healthy or functional - have You thought that Your ipod is now blocking the mobile phones antenna?

This forces the nokia to increase the antenna output lowering battery time and increasing spurious radiation risk!

[Colonel88]

Cool idea, athough if you lose your phone you're gonna lose MORE than your phone...

[bustedit]

is that the circuit board showing thru??

[5m17h]

A simple and easy, if not elegant, way to stop your phone from scratching up your iPod or vice versa. Very nice.

[cheesemanlovesrobots]

THAT IS AWSOME IM A KID THO SO I DONT HAVE THE FUNDS TO THAT. BUT THANKS ANY WAY

[stumeston]

Hahaha it's funny because he didn't even use a real iPod. If you look closely, the play/pause button is reversed.

[757tofu]

shaking head its just an old ipod

[flio191]

no, the whole photo is just in a mirror view, its probably a webcam.

[look! its man man!]

then why can you read menu? HA! i bet i just bust a hole through your plan!

[temp]

All the places it says menu are too fuzzy to read. However in step 3 you can see on the metal case there is a "b" Indicating that it should be "ipod"

[flio191]

nah, if you look closely, the first letter is a U, showing that the MENU is actually backwards.

[twenglish1]

if its not an ipod then why does he have the metal cover have the apple logo on it and say ipod

[paperclip32]

I mean,because a bike has wheels must mean it's a car,right?
"If it's not a car then why does it have wheels?"

[flio191]

wut.

[paperclip32]

Replying to twenglish1

[csmiler]

Now you can lose both at the same time!

[Clayton H.]

Ha! Combining the two most frowned upon pecies of technology in schools!

[theatre_tech_guru]

you should have just glued the ipod to the phone save yourself the time and effort because thats all you did

[flio191]

ghetto as hell, it looks like something i would do... if i had either of those things.

[flio191]

sorry, that was a compliment. XD

[MrSahnsMan]

Ah..not that bad at the least you solved your problem of misplacing the two. Now you have less crap in your pockets

[davethegiant]

Some people should have a three day waiting period before they buy a glue gun.

[altaria1993]

yes :p

[SWV1787]

you just glued the two togeather??? I missed something did you wire the two togeather? make them run on the same batery or something?

[denilsonsa]

Looks like so. He cut a hole to fit the iPod on the back of the Nokia phone, and then just glued them together.

[GorillazMiko]

uh... looks weird. anyways, i had some small mp3 player, and i put it into some halls mint box, really small, about the size of a credit card. fit perfect, had to use a dremel for some places worked awesome! forgot to take pictures though, so it wont be on instructables :(

[Williz]

Oh god thats nasty...

[LinuxH4x0r]

cool. I'd rather have them seperate, but its still a good idea. Nice job!

[joejoerowley]

Cool! At first I thought you put the phone inside the nano. Still cool though! :0
