Introduction: SoundScoop for IPad (2, 3, 4 Gen.) Increase Your Volume for Only $0.99
Have you ever found yourself cupping your hand around the side of the iPad to get a little more volume out of that single speaker? Let SoundScoop do all the work for you! This is a very simple project that can be completed in under 10 minutes and uses one sheet of craft foam that can be found at most hobby stores for $0.99.
Step 1: Materials & Tools
- Sheet of craft foam (as you can see by the picture it's sold by different names).
- Hot glue gun
- x-acto knife (preferred) or scissors
- pencil or pen
Step 2: Download the Pattern
Download the pattern from this link then print it out.
Step 3: Cut Out the Pattern
Cut out the pattern with your choice of tool. I prefer to use an x-acto knife.
Step 4: Transfer Pattern to Craft Foam
Using a pencil or pen trace the outline of the pattern onto the craft foam. I used lime green so it would be easy for you to see.
Step 5: Cut Out the Craft Foam
Again using your preffered method cut out the scoop from the craft foam. Don't forget the slot.
Step 6: Overlap the Edges of the Slot Then Glue
Get a feeling for how the edge overlaps. Put a shot of hot glue in the approximate area of where the spot is on the photo. Press together.
Step 7: You're Done!
Good job.
Step 8: Attach to IPad
Slide it on the corner edge of the iPad centered under the speaker. Enjoy your enhanced volume!
