Default Zen Micro Altoids Case - 06-20-2005, 02:57 PM

I didn't think it belonged in the ipod thread.

I first lined up the holes to see where to cut for the headphone jack and the on/off switch. I proceeded to cut with tin clippers the side for the headphone jack. Some of the tin was sharp so I used a metal file to make the edges smooth. After that, I traced the bottom & top of the case to make a stencil. I then used the stencils to cut out a perfect fitting liner made out of a rubber-like material (you line your drawers with so things don't slide around). I then used the same material to make a tab to put underneath the Zen Micro so I could pull it out of it easily. I then lined the sides with a packing foam like material for a nice snug fit. It took me about 3 hours total to do.

I'll probably do some sort of design on the outside later. Or I might just sand it down to a nice silver industrial look.
