The iBoom Box iBook case

iboomboxHave you ever asked yourself, "How can I transport my iBook from point A to point B, all the while annoying everyone around me with my iTunes library?" Boy, I sure haven't. Luckily, Craftster Forum user cereallad has, and he even went so far as to realize his dream. Armed only with electrical tape, wire cutters, a couple of screwdrivers, a tube of Liquid Nails "Perfect Glue 2," a Dremel Tool, a drill and what he calls "...rudimentary electronics skills," cereallad created a hollowed out boom box that's connected to his iBook's headphone jack.

I've got to say, "Well done." Just don't annoy people on the bus with that thing, ok?

Hoping to clear that up: 19. Divider: If you decide to use the bag for a laptop case, you will need to put some sort of divider/spacer to keep your laptop from getting too close to the speakers. The speakers have strong magnets, and magnets can really screw up computers. I used a piece of pillow-stuffing foam from Joann fabrics', and then lined the visible side of the foam with more spray painted dollar store vinyl tile. :) Use screen spanning doctor in clamshell mode to close it & use it.

Anyone have an idea how he gets the music to play while the iBook is closed? Mine keeps going into sleep mode whenever the lid is down...

Yeah, but the speaker's magnets will kill the display, or the HD will be damaged, Einstein!!!.
