DIY iPod Nano Sleeve

September 18th, 2005

Mac Vroom is a site usually dedicated to integrating Apple products in to your car (yeah… not just iPods, either). A few days, ago, though, they put their ingenuity to a much less complex, but equally useful endeavor:

“Our only disappointment with the iPod nano was that Apple chose not to include any type of case to tote it around. Additionally, because the nano is so new, no other third-party cases are available yet for it. Like other iPods, the nano has a shiny chrome back and the face is a high-gloss white or black plastic, which are both fairly easily marred.

We decided to take matters into our own hands and make a simple protective sleeve for our new nano…”

And they did a good job, too. Complete with pictures and detailed instructions, this little sleeve turns out really attractive. So if you’ve got the DIY spirit (or are just broke after buying your Nano), check out “Make Your Own iPod nano Sleeve” at Mac Vroom.

The Library

I've removed the little flash player that was here for now. It was causing some problems with the site in several browsers... okay... mostly it was IE6 because... well... I'm fairly sure that Microsoft hates me.

For now, you can view the Complete Library page, which is kind of a master list of every single track we've linked to.
