The inDisguise and DuckPod - Made by me B)

(Sorry for crappy images... Im not exactly the best photographer )


inDisguise





The "inDisguise" was made for the middle/secondary school I am in because it has been kinda known for stolen iPods... So I just used my handy dremel and cut a square out for my iPod. I also lined it with duct tape so it was smooth and comfy


DuckPod



Ah, yes, the DuckPod. My Contour Showcase sits inside of this; this is built for when I pack it and store it. It isnt just duct tape; it is lined on the inside twice with buble wrap, then a layer of duct tape, then some bubble wrap (again) and then a final layer of duct tape. It is nearly industractable.

Id hate to send this through an airport: Id be dead by the time I yelled out "iPod Case."

Just thought I'd share some of my handy work with ya' Enjoy!



UPDATE:


Guess what... The inDisguise will be in WIRED MAGAZINE! Yes, you are hearing me correct. Wired will have an article on it, complete with pictures. Here is the email I recieved.

Hi Joseph,
Thanks for getting back to me. My editor really liked your mod, so, with
your permission, we'd like to feature it on a page in Wired. I have your
e-mail address, but I also need your phone number for reference purposes
(Someone might be calling you up for a short interview, to fact check, for
art, etc.)

Thanks so much!
Suz


After much conversation, they decided for me to mail it in and have the take a photo shoot it. My inDisguise is now a star, hope the fame doesnt get to his head. This is so awesome!

I thought of removing a cd players innards and putting an ipod in as an anti-theft device. I never actually got to it. It seems you did a nice job though.

That DuctPod is pretty ghetto

Go for it! Its a really good idea (plus it is uber protective)... Just make sure you are careful.

I really recomend NOT lining the inside of the DuckPod with Duct Tape. That pic you see is my fourth try... Why I say this is because the duct tape tends to leave a little resedue behind that takes some scrubbing to come off.

Bubble Wrap is a great alternative.

Goodluck on your DuckPod!
