You should do first some examples and show them, with pictures and specs, then people will see. I think if they are nice and usefull i will get one

Duck tape wallets exist.

So, why not a duck tape case?

sketchy62 · 08-10-2007, 15:29

cuz that looks cheap and ugly

TJSomething · 08-10-2007, 15:51

I had the crazy idea to mold a case out of silicone caulk. Except I have no clue how to make a mold for that (maybe plaster of paris?).

exaCt · 08-10-2007, 15:53

But those things looks cool
