Here’s a creative, unique way to keep your iPod from getting scratched, scraped and otherwise defaced that doesn’t involve the usual ubiquitous, unsightly leather cases. Designer Peter Kinne has developed a handy wooden case that keeps your baby safe and looks good, too; we think it would go great with the iPod bed we just featured. Complete with a padded interior, data ports for charging, synching and listening, and a positive-lock closure to keep “your sensitive electronics from becoming road pizza,” the wood is birch, the metal bits are reclaimed stainless steel from salvaged bikes, and there is talk of bamboo in the future. We like the clean, simple look of it, and they appear to be pretty sturdy; as his site says, “it won’t stand up to a steamroller, but it’ll help against the dings and dents of normal life.” Peter also does laptop and CPU tower units as well, lending a natural sensibility to what can be sterile, unforgiving electronics.
Just because you can fit Apple’s tiny iPod touch into just about any orifice doesn’t mean you should. The ChocoTouch by SwitchEasy costs ¥980 (about ) in Japan. But seriously, is that all your dignity is worth?
Finally, you made your wish come true. You went out and got the iPod touch. This is the latest iPod to come out of Apple’s iPod family. It features a very attention seeking touch screen which features the multi-touch graphical user interface. It also contains the safari web browser with wireless access to the iTunes Store and Apple’s App Store. This is the second generation of iPod Touch to feature external volume controls and a built-in speaker. Since you will be travelling around with it a lot. This makes it a top priority to protect it from scratches and damage. Since this model of the iPod has a touch screen secure protection is a top priority.
So what kind of iPod Touch cases available in the market will protect your iPod from damage? These cases are made from all sort of modern day durable materials. Top case manufactures to choose from include Agent18, Belkin, Contour, Griffin, H2O, Apple’s iFrogz, Incase, Marware and vice versa. They offer products made from silicon, leather right up to Aluminum. Prices range from to . Armband cases are also a type of iPod Touch cases which are recommended for jogs and workouts. Check out some cool armband case products by Incase. Did you know that you now you can take your iPod Touch underwater with you scuba diving? H2O Audio iDive 300 is an exclusive range of products from H2O recommended by iPod Touch users and the good thing is it’s also licensed by Apple.
You have probably recognized the shape of stale iPod mini. Under the wooden covering there actually is a working player. To be honest when I saw it, it started to annoy me. At first I though someone decided it was a good idea make these things out of rubber sheet and dare to sell for double the price though it is not particularly a looker, tough or interesting in anyway. But then it totally made me change my mind.
There is one thing about the wooden iPod mini that cancelled my bad opinion about it. It appeared to be an absolutely non commercial project of a man from Australia. And for me that’s makes a difference because the man behind it was after no other reason but expressing himself. Josh, iLounge reader, took his own iPod mini and let ingenuity do its job. In the issue he had a red cedar case, click wheel out of camphor laurel – all assembled with true screws and double-side adhesive (for the click wheel mostly). Josh hasn’t stopped here. He also redecorated his iTrip and iPod dock in the same way with the adjustment for wider iPod dimensions. Well done, mate!
Ryan writes - “Here’s a fully functional iPod case made from an original Gameboy. With internal dock connector…no iPods were harmed in the making of this device.” - Link.
Most people opt to get a case for their iPod, something that’ll protect their investment from the inevitable drops and scratching. Many people also want an external speaker for their iPod that’ll let them share their music with their friends. Doesn’t combining the two seem like a natural idea? It’s a wonder it hasn’t happened before.
But hey, it finally has. Take a look at the Portable Sound Labs iMainGo Portable iPod Speaker & Case. All it needs is 4 AAA batteries to give you 30 hours of music playing from the built-in speakers, which have enhanced bass and huge sound for the tiny package. It’s all tucked away in a rugged case that’ll protect both your iPod and your speakers from bumps and drops. And with the iPod docked in the speaker, you can set it to have an alarm to wake you up, which is a great additional feature. So why have both a case and speakers? You can get them together in one elegant package.
Gauge
Does not matter, but watch the size of the case to make sure that it isn’t too big or too small.
Pattern

Knit in garter st (Optional: stockinette st, rib st, moss st) until piece measures 3 1/2 inches.

Finishing

Enjoy!
Sorry if the pattern isn’t very clear at some parts. This is the first pattern I have created by myself.
