Default [DIY] Zune Book holder/Secret Compartment

A tutorial by ZB Members Trogdor and Saline

Wish you could listen to your zune at school without getting caught?
Then This is for you.

Things You will need

-A hardcover book
-A zune

-A knife like or a exacto(This means attempt at your own risk)

-Some thing that can be used as a brush or a brush

-Junk Pile to stack on book

-A mix of elmers glue and water(make sure it is liquidy but not too runny)

-A plastic bag (ziploc works well) that can be put in the book to seperate the pages

Process

1-
Take the book and find the page that you want to start carving on and put in the plastic divider(bag). Set the book so that you can coat the outside of the pages that will be carved into. Now glue those pages.

Note- Pay close attention to the corners. We applied about three coats and it worked well. Also glue the back cover to the pages it makes things way easier and more solid.

2-
Set the junk pile on top of the book so it wont warp while it dries.

Note- We let it dry for a few hours

3-
After the glue dries on the outside open the book and trace your zune and desired headphones on the paper then carve into the book enough until your zune will fit.

Note- Rounded corners are a NO, rectangular will save you time trust us.

The area we carved for the headphones only is carved in about 20 pages.

4-
Now glue the inside everywhere and your outside may of frayed a little like ours so give another coat. Then set your junkpile on top and wait for it to dry.

5-
You are done enjoy your case.

We got our idea from the Make Magazine Podcast you can find in Zune Marketplace.

Partly, yes. However in prison it was used to hold our half-smoked cigarettes and shanks.

Nicely done.

Yes.

But like the last poster said, I have my wire facing down so I can still appear to be reading the book and not have any visible wires.

I don't think this method would make my teacher any less suspicious than if I had it in my pocket. Not too many books I see these days come with headphones.

Novel idea though, very well executed.

Sorry, but I don't see how this solves the problem of getting caught listening to your zune in school.

I don't know how the teacher wouldn't notice the headphones. Wouldn't us just be easier to hold the Zune on your lap or in a pocket?

I still fail to see how this is a great idea. All you are doing is ruining a book to hide a device poorly.
