SoundScoop for IPad (2, 3, 4 Gen.) Increase Your Volume for Only $0.99
Have you ever found yourself cupping your hand around the side of the iPad to get a little more volume out of that single speaker? Let SoundScoop do all the work for you! This is a very simple project that can be completed in under 10 minutes and uses one sheet of craft foam that can be found at most hobby stores for $0.99.
Materials & Tools
- Sheet of craft foam (as you can see by the picture it's sold by different names).
- Hot glue gun
- x-acto knife (preferred) or scissors
- pencil or pen
Download the Pattern
Download the pattern from this link then print it out.
Cut Out the Pattern
Cut out the pattern with your choice of tool. I prefer to use an x-acto knife.
Transfer Pattern to Craft Foam
Using a pencil or pen trace the outline of the pattern onto the craft foam. I used lime green so it would be easy for you to see.
Cut Out the Craft Foam
Again using your preffered method cut out the scoop from the craft foam. Don't forget the slot.
Overlap the Edges of the Slot Then Glue
Get a feeling for how the edge overlaps. Put a shot of hot glue in the approximate area of where the spot is on the photo. Press together.
You're Done!
Good job.
Attach to IPad
Slide it on the corner edge of the iPad centered under the speaker. Enjoy your enhanced volume!
