Bulletproof iPod case

Jun 26th, 2006 12:43 Discuss (17 Comments)

This is so crazy that it has to be mentioned. Some Japanese guy, who had his first iPod crushed to death in a crammed commuter train, is now protecting his new one with a 5mm Aluminum A5052 grade case which can stop a .22 bullet. The total weight of the entire setup with iPod is 446g.

He really needs to make one for the nano...
Anyway, to be serious it makes the iPod gigantic and I bet it cost him a fair bit to build and polish a case like that.

if you have someone who runs a CNC machine, it wouldnt be hard to buy a $40~ block of aluminum and have them laser mill it out. then polish by yourself.

thats a crazy case. I'd love to see one for the nano as well, the nano could use some extra weight, it feels like a toy.

They shot the .22 into the wrong place - aim for the screen or touch pad next time (and please post pictures).

ok well it doesnt matter because the hd is going to get dust in it and fail and the battery will die... buy a damn warrenty

not a suicide-bomber

If the guy decide to sell those covers, i think they will sell well in Iraq :p

Yeah but the soldiers never get given the armour to protect themselves over there so I doubt any of them would be too interested in these.

I left my iPod photo on the couch, and I sat on it. Still works, but freezes once in a while. I gave it to my dad, and I got a 30GB 5th Gen iPod! Woo! I've used about 23GB so far(a lot of movies!)

I burn CD-RW's in MP3 format, and then let my CD player handle them. 1 $0.70 disk, all my music library (CD's mostly), and changable "hard drives". Why get a bulletproof MP3 player case when you can use your CD player as a bracer? :laugh:.

I tried that once with a cd player.(Iriver IMP-150. Damn nice cd player.)

When you can have *all* of your music on a player 1/4 the size, its just no contest...
Cd's get scratched, broken, and you have to carry a lot...

That's a good point...though, when your entire music library can fit on one CD, a CD player works just fine :).
