Ok, so I saw a really cool mod on the internet by somebody who made a case for their IPod out of a book. Well, I really liked that though I think i can give the design a little...more power!!
Original props to NinJA999, for the original instructions go here:

So I'm going to start with a little more stuff. We have:
- A book
- Some soft foam
- Superglue (DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE, I GLUED MY FINGERS TO MY TABLE BEFORE, IT HURTS!!)
- Some PVA
- Some magnets (oooo mysterious)
- My handy dandy media player
- My super stylish portable headphones
Not pictured: pencil
Protip: Go to your local charity store looking for a book, You want something with about 2 fingers space between the media player (with the media player and book on the same level) and the top of the book. This will allow you to pad the case appropriately without running out of room.
The book I chose was a collection of works by Harry Bowling (thanks for such a superbly fitting book), which is hardback. If you glue everything together hardback shouldn't matter too much, but i like the extra sturdiness). Don't worry if its too heavy, remember you'll be scooping out a lot of it and replacing it with foam.
My book case (tehehe, pun!) is going to be padded and will magnetically close (yes that's why we have magnets) to assure that even if i drop it, it shouldnt pop open and damage itself in the impact! I picked a book large enough to house both my media player AND my headphones, which will make it an excellent tool for carrying it all around without tangling it up.
Will start now, update soon!
