Custom Zune Cases

sonicgeek · 06-28-2007, 07:45 PM

I created a zune case using an old book that i hollowed out, i also cut into the book a hole so my headphones could go out. It looks like i've got headphones plugged into the book so it's an "audio book" i guess. If you've made a case for your zune and are proud of it( or not) post it here, describe how you made it and give us some pics or links to them here's some pics :

Tell me what you think

that aint the bible right?

Extreme90path · 06-28-2007, 08:01 PM

that is a pretty cool idea. You know if you ever have to hide your Zune, just slide it right into the book case

chrisiscool62 · 06-28-2007, 08:18 PM

It is original, but carrying around a book doesnt really give u a boost on the cool scale.

DiggerF16 · 06-28-2007, 09:38 PM

i would use that in school to hide my zune, but probably not to carry around.

lol imagine walking down the hallway and the school bully comes and knocks all your books out of your hands and then your zune falling out, the bully would be like "ooh for me?" lol

That really is awesome. If someone calls you a bookworm, you have a very good reason!this is a hidden message!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111onetwothree
It would be hard to explain the headphones coming out of the book though, an audio book maybe.

Seriously that is so awesome.

Responding to an earlier question: It's not a Bible, it's nice to see that someone else out there cares. I used the encyclopedia of tropical fishes and purchased it at a local thrift store. Price: $2

I'm thinking of using it during my study halls accompanied by wireless headphones, i have long enough hair to hide them. I can just rotate videos so that they'll display vertically, i've done it before and it works fine.

BTW if anyone wants to know how i made mine i modified instructions from http://how2dostuff.blogspot.com/2006...llow-book.html i made a second cut after the first indentation so i can hide my zune below something else. So really if anyone opened the book (like a teacher) which is unlikely, but if they did theyd' find somehting else.

Its cool but i would only use to hide my zune if it was filled with pr0n

DiggerF16 · 06-29-2007, 12:41 PM

wait, dont all videos display horizontally?

sonicgeek · 06-29-2007, 01:08 PM

See, what i mean is you have to turn the zune sideways, i rotated the video using a video editor so i wouldn't have to turn my zune.

DiggerF16 · 06-29-2007, 01:23 PM

yea but, dont you have to turn the zune sideways to begin with to watch videos.

sonicgeek · 06-29-2007, 01:27 PM

no, the video will play no matter what how the video rotated. The zune hardware automatically turns videos sideways (widescreen). By editing the video's rotation you can have the video displayed vertically (not widescreen)

sonicgeek · 06-29-2007, 01:28 PM

Back to the point has anyone else made their own zune cases yet?

sketchy62 · 07-06-2007, 11:24 AM

i made a million of them.

u can find them somewhere on this forum

sonicgeek · 07-06-2007, 11:25 AM

Post some pics here then.
