Tape Owns- Part 1: Protective Cell Phone/Mp3 Sleeve

Make a cool sleeve for your iPod or cell phone that will protect it from water, dust, and all those other evil things. First instructable- that means no flaming :p.

You're going to need some duct tape(I chose black),clear packaging tape, scissors, x-acto knife or some other kind of razor, and (of course) your cell phone or mp3 player. You can get different colored duct tape at wal-mart or the home depot. I decided to use black because it looks classy and matches my phone.

Cut out a piece of duct tape about half as long as your phone/ipod.

Fold the duct tape over. This takes practice, so if you don't get it after a couple of tries you can just stick two smaller pieces of tape together

Ya you are now done with the back cover

Get a piece of tape as long as the phone/mp3.
Fold it the long ways.
Repeat.

Tape it all together and stick the phone/mp3 in. Should look like pics. Again, sorry for the bad quality.

Cut off the excess on the top and front of phone.

Cut out a tiny piece and fold it.

Tape the tiny lil thing you just made to the top.

Repeat step 2 only with the clear packaging tape and make it a little longer.

tape your clear cover on with more clear tape. Make sure the whole phone/mp3 is covered now. If it's not you need a longer piece of packaging tape. It should look like the picture. almost done....

Use your razor to cut out holes for the charger, headphones, speaker, etc.
If you want to take the phone/mp3 out of it's sleeve then use your razor to cut out a flap at the top or bottom and tape it back together after you put the mp3/cell back in. Congratulations you're now the proud owner of a cool little sleeve for your handheld electronics(im tired of saying phone/mp3 lol)
