I modified an altoids tin into an armor case for my mp3 player.
Didn't take much really,
just a dremil tool and some foam rubber.
This is what it looks like when its all closed up,
Cant tell the difference eh?
although,
a glance at the top and bottom edges reveals,
The headphones output
The power switch
Inside the thing,
thats all it takes to keep it stable.
1 peice of foam rubber.
of course, i decided that it may move a bit, so,
just set those over the top before closing it up.
just to be on the safe side.
this keeps it from getting damaged so easily.
in other words, I can chop firewood with this in my pocket,and i have less chances of destroying it by bumping it with the handle of the axe.
