bookcase Have you ever wanted to listen to your Zune at school without getting caught?  I have too, and so have two of our own zB members, Trogdor and Saline.  They've taken this idea a whole new level of...well a whole new level...by actually doing it!  While it's still left to be seen whether this will truly work (do this at your own risk of confiscation of Zune and/or ridicule), you've got to give them credit for actually getting it done complete with pictures!  More after the break...

Things You will need

-A hardcover book

book


-A zune
zunes

 

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

book2

 

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

book3

 

-Junk Pile to stack on book

book4

 

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

book5

 

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

book6

 

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.

book7

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.
zune8

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.
book8

Note- Rounded corners are a NO, rectangular will save you time trust us.
book9

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.

Thanks Trogdor and Saline!

or you could have the zune in your pocket and plumb the headphones up your back, and if your school district allows hats have your headphones under a hat. either that or just be completely obvious and have headphone running openly.[smiley=wink]

Or have your hair grown out so it can go over your ears and cover them up when you want to listen to music. If you have earphones, make sure their black because it's hard to spot in hair (unless your blonde or you actually have white hair, in which I'm jelous). If you have dark hair but white earbuds, it's easy to spot (d'uh, but that's why I feel sorry for iFans the most).

Just a little tip that I even use (big reason why I don't cut my hair also).

I have another idea, well two really; first one: Carve the hole for the Zune a little lower on the page so you can carve an extra spot for head phones. Second, have the headphone trench come out the bottom of the page close to the spine. Also, why not carve a spot horizontal so you can watch movies? It'll look like you're reading the book while instead you're really sticking it some man (I don't know if it's THE man) and not learning whatever may be spouting from the teacher's mouth.

this is more to hide marijuana than a zune [smiley=think]

What I do, is slip my zune in my pocket, string the headphones up one sleeve, and have one coming through. Then just lean on your hand. I do it all day.

I have been doing the same thing for 2 years and never been caught. Even blasted the music really loud a few times just to mess with the teacher and they never figured out where it cam from. Way easier than carving a book for an hour and what happens when you have a test and cant have books on the desk? [smiley=think]

Well let's see... Carving into a book gets you probably in more trouble, plus the time it takes to carve... Why not, just keep your Zune in your pocket, have the head phones wire run under your shirt. To come out by the collar behind your neck. Then to your hear. To cover, just use your hair or hand place over the hear,

It's simple. Zune in pocket. Run headphones up shirt and out collar. Grow hair long enough to cover earpiece. Done.
