There are all sorts of reasons to wrap something around your iPod. For those most interested in security, you might want to consider an apparently homebrew project that disguises your precious as an 1980s cassette Walkman.
Note to those who decide to try this: For it to work, you need to look like someone who would naturally be toting a 20-year-old entertainment gadget. Workable looks include: A) "I buy everything at Salvation Army." B) Retro-chic fashion rebel. C) Seriously out-of-touch geezer.
A much easier option, disguise-wise, would be to stuff your iPod into one of those microfiber protective sacks that came with first-gen Zunes and proudly sport the Zune logo.
