Turn a bike inner tube into an iPod Nano case

Now that you have a new iPod Nano, you will want to keep that bad boy safe. Considering how small they are, you are bound to lose it or even break it. They are not designed to withstand much torture. I do not have an iPod, but if I did, it would probably end up broken or even in the toilet. It is not that I don't take care of my things, it is just that I can get forgetful sometimes, especially when my attention is focused on my 2 year old.

You can keep your iPod Nano safe by making a case for it that doesn't seem to take much expertise. All you need is a new bike inner tube, a pair of scissors, a template, and some rubber cement or super glue. You can find complete instructions and pictures at Wired How to Wiki.

Now this might not be the most stylish iPod case ever made, but it will most definitely get the job done, keep it from falling in the toilet, or even getting run over by a truck when it falls out of your pocket when you are riding your bike. On the other hand, if you would just rather just have an iPod car mount, then check out this post by Heather Craven.
