8-Minute-instructable: Virtually Indestructable IPhone Case

The school has already started again , And practicing basketball ain't the best sport to leave your iphone just there , unprotected , almost naked , inmune to really hard hits falls and sweat!

So, I made a Quick trip to the thrift store and bought this Pelican case for 50 pesos ( Which is approximately 5 dollars ) So my iphone had a tad bit more protection , but I wasn't fully happy , my iPhone rattled in the inside and I didn't like that , I Wanted A GOOD , SHOCK and WEATHER resistant case .

So after looking in my 'shop' I found some Weather sealant foam Strips , These are Cushioned , And Soft Enough to hold my iPhone Tightly and securely

Then I thought " Why the heck not"!

You need essentially two things :

• A Resistant , Weather/Water Proof Rectangular Case of some sort .(Fireproof Optional)

(I Used A "refurbished" Pelican (R) Case , It was cheap enough to buy It )
(These are sold in virtually any camping or gun shop )(new ones may cost more)

• About half a meter (50cm or well 20 inches) of weather sealing foam

( Found in the hardware section of a big store , the self adhesive version or the regular
version they both Work)

And for the tools section
-Scissors
-A Ruler
-And your locomotive system and it's extremities (ie. hands ,brain, muscles, nerves, etc.)

I Took most of the pictures with my iPhone , I was too lazy to search for the camera charger thing.

I am not associated with Pelican(R) BTW.

Measure the insides of the case with the ruler , Then cut out fairly accurate pieces of foam with the measure ments you took earlier .

Each piece should be snug in the case.

Now Cut the Foam Strip in Half Lengthways .

Do This To all of the foam strips (ya cut t0o ,rite?)

Insert two of your freshly cut strips in the inside, in the bottom.

---

Optional , follow only if there's a gap between strips !!1!=

Cut one more Strip of foam , the length of the gap .
Cut it half length ways
Cut lengthways the width of the gap.
Insert the recently cut piece in the gap.

YOU ARE DONE !!!

Basically ,what we will do here is placing the halves of strip in the sides.

Cut the scrap foam to fit in the top (were the Line-out is ) and In the Bottom (were microphone and speaker are)

After testing this apparatus ,( 2 meter submersion , 75 cm drop , minimum rain exposure ....) My iPhone was Completely intact .

Let's go to the court!

See ya !
