    hey thats a cool case! I'd consider buying one, but I'm not really a fan of pink or doggy designs on my ipod. well Ill see what this thing ends up as, but youre doing a great job. Love the laser cutter work.

    maybe make it so the sides are a little more protected, or at least the side thats just a hinge?

    ha I see you're back with the origami again. But I really don't like boxy cases...what was wrong with the slimtouch? It looked good...just add a frame to the front for some structure.

    the slimtouch didnt work for several reasons

    1- it wasnt a snug fit
    2- it got webbing at the corners
    3- juss didnt work, lol

    The worst thing about real diy is it takes a lot of money. . I mean it looks really cheap at first but pretty soon you're spending way over your budget. But I think it's always worth it in the end :).

    Sketchy I think your best options are flexible things like fabric/vinyl or things that bend like if you know how to heat bend plastic..
    Boxy designs were okay for the zune but the reason I didn't get the new zune 80 was because even though it was tons nicer and actually "hand size" this time, it's still boxy and I can't stand that. Looks are all about the curves! just my 2 cents
