DIY iPod nano case - iNano writes "I took the foam and cut a wedge out, and glued it into the case. Then I took the cloth and glued it down inside the top part of the case. I made two foam strips to hold the nano in place, and glued them down as well. I got some sandpaper and brushed the whole tin, excluding the red and white sides. I stuck an apple sticker on the front and outlined it in red, to make it look cool. I still need to drill a hole for headphone cables"... [via]. Link. On a side note, does anyone have a contact at Altoids? Email pt at makezine d0t com.

Does altoids realize the following they have from makers, and the amount of free advertising they get from gadget and hacking sites? LOL.
PT alone should get free altoids for life for all the links to the numerous altoid hacks he's posted.

Am I the only one who thinks it's dumb to put the nano into a case that's about 4 sizes too large?

Yes, Altoids does realize that they have a Make following . I'm pretty sure they went so far as to encourage this kind of thing by making a contest for the best Altoids Tin device.
I thought of this concept myself and went to see if anyone else had thought of it before me. I didn't want to buy some $30 piece of rubber a manufacturer passed of as an iPod case. And this was a perfect, completely free, solution. Manufacturers honestly think that just because someone has an iPod, they aren't going to be cheap when they buy an iPod case.
As for size, after adding padding it's a perfect fit. Not only that, but it's cool.
