ShowerPhones

Step 2 Okay okay I confess...I did it...

Finally, I took an old peanut butter jar and made a hole in the bottom and inserted the jack and a length of cord (so I could conveniently position the mp3 player without a lot of hassle). The question of how to attach it to the shower was rather unelegantly solved by using a quantity of putty, inasmuch as I had no suction cups or well-designed shelves in my shower, and did not want to use a wire rack that fit over the showerhead. The putty is totally waterproof, but slides downward over time and is goopy and dripping and messy - I really recommend using something else if you can.

The entire set-up works unexpectedly well - I've used this for a couple of months now, and not a drop of water gets in the peanut butter jar with teh music inside, and while a little bit of water has leaked inside the plastic around the headphones, it hasn't done anything bad yet, and seems to kind of drain out if left to its own devices for a little while.

It's not very pretty, but it's very functional, and I've been quite pleased with it.

What kind of putty did you use?

[Lithium Rain]

Insulation putty - I had a lot lying around for some reason. Using putty for this project (instead of silicon sealant, for example) has its advantages and disadvantages - it's sticky and a little messy if you want to move it, but it's also flexible, easy to use, and completely water-tight with no more effort on your part than to smoosh it down.
