The Shamwow ipod sock - use it on the car, the boat, the RV, the stolen improbability drive spaceship, doesn't drip, doesn't make a mess, use half to dry your dishes and the other half to plug your ears if you're tired of hearing the Shamwow sales pitch!

This is a technique that will work with any electronic device and any smallsh thin cloth (you'll be rolling it up to create padding, so it doesn't need to be too thick), but I had a shamwow and an ipod that needed socking, hence the Shamwow ipod sock.

Step 1Gather your materials

Gather your materials
you will need...
1) a small shamwow or similarly sized thin towel (unless you're using this tactic to wrap a larger piece of electronics, in which case I recommend a bigger towel)

2) five small binder clips (or bigger ones, if you're wrapping something bigger than pocket-sized electronics)

3) the thing you're wrapping

You could probably hand sew the thing around the edges and add a velcro for the flapp for a more permanent approach.
