Tools:

An iPod, iPhone, or other device
A case for said iPhone or iPod that you will never use again

Try to imitate the picture that I've provided as best you can. the larger square-like piece should fit around your forearm if you make it according to your body

Trace and cut out your piece.
Now to begin the shaping process

Heat the piece up with the heat gun until you can see the foam start to look glossy then roll it up into a very tight tube until it cools

Take the puzzle-piece endings from the Eva sheets and glue them to either side of the seam(put it on so that it's the opposite texture

Make these patterns according to the curvature of the bottom of the new gauntlet. Make two of the first pattern. make the long piece the same length as your device's case and as thick as the wide part of the first pattern.

Trace and cut the patterns onto the foam. Then glue them to the side that faces you

Take the case of your device and put a piece of Velcro on it and it's corresponding place on the gauntlet. then place your device in and you are done

Now you've got an awesome looking computer gauntlet you can show of to your friends
