The inDisguise and DuckPod - Made by me B)

[cheerios]

wow the indisguise is amazing! i'd actually make that if i had a borked cd player and a dremel lol

[eviltacoman]

Wow. A few kids at my school have an iPod (maybe about 20?) but I'm still scared of getting it stolen. I wish I was handy with tools. I have the same blue Walkman.

hey kikoman thanks for the idea, actually that was a sony cd player my parents bought for me back in 1995 it still worked to my suprise oh well. But it serves a good use now.

Heh, someone came up with a disguise case awhile back.

Still, I totally sympathise with what you have to deal with. It's hard to believe that what you describe continues to goes on.

Just remember...in case the worst happens:

ALWAYS KEEP THE IPOD BOX AS IT HAS THE SERIAL NUMBER ON IT, AND YOU SHOULD ALSO WRITE IT DOWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER TO KEEP IN YOUR WALLET. THE SERIAL NUMBER CAN EASILY BE SHOWN ON THE IPOD BY SECURITY AND CONFIRM YOUR OWNERSHIP.

I hope someone does this and nails those #######s to the wall....

I lined my ductape case with an old sock

I had a great idea, why not turn the indisgusepod into a charger, too? You could put a battery in there..

Cool guys, thanks for the feedback

Oh, and about that retropod...

Meh! Thats really cool. If I would have seen that before hand, I would have used my old Walkman. But thats going to my next project. Lining it with foam would be AWESOME! :P

Also, I am prototyping a gear contraption thing that works as your finger for the scroll wheel..

It could work, it could not. It will be 1337, though.

As Simon Cowell would say "Absolutely Dreadful"

That's cool! I like disguises. Its like the high end bikes you see in big cities with spray paint and stickers all over them.

Duct tape rocks!!

I have the same Sony CD player except in Silver. wouldnt mind a step bys step explanation on how to do it kikoman. would be quite funny to carry around.

I might make one...

[Buffoonist]

in response to darling_nikki :
its fairly simple to do...i just unscrewed the screws then yanked off the circuit board...i sawed of the excess plastic until i had a perfect fitting for the ipod. it was tiring but it was kinda fun.

Right, and the screen or mainboard of the iPod isn't sufficient?

[iPodiot]

I believe Tholek mentioned that in regards to iPods being stolen. Pretty darn hard to look at the screen when it is in the clutches of some thief.

Exactly...

I know what he is saying
