iPod Touch case (or sock with a hole!) *PIC HEAVY

[muscidae]

I had already made a sock for my iPod Touch, but I constantly had to slide it out to look at the screen (look at the time, check what artist was currently playing, check if I had email, etc.) I decided to try and make a case with a "window" large enough for the huge screen but secure enough to keep the iPod in.

 

I used Lion Brand Suede because I wanted something soft. Now that it's done, I'm thinking it's a bit thicker than what I wanted - but still works fine.

The iPod slides in at the top and I use 2 loops that I attach around the flower-shaped button on the back to keep it in. Then there is a flap I can close to protect the screen, and that also closes with a loop on the same button.

 

Thanks for looking!

That is great- I've been trying to figure out some sort of case for my ipod touch- this is really neat !

Mine is a 2nd gen as well. It's so thin!

 

If I had to do this again, I would make everything a bit tighter and I would not try to account for the device's thickness. I added a row of sc on the left side of the window, where it attaches to the flap, and I find I didn't need to do that. That side of the "window frame" is too thick and hides the screen a bit. The great thing about making a case out of yarn is that it can stretch a bit, so I will keep that in mind if I ever decide to design a new case!

Looks very practical! I may have to get the pattern from you if I ever get an iPod touch or an iPhone.
