Hasta La Gadget!

The iPod is often associated with fitness — the iconic white headphones dangle from the the ears of joggers around the globe. As a smoker, I have often felt left out. Sure, I have an iPod, but what good is a portable entertainment device if you never leave the house except to walk, wheezing, to the nearest bar for the first carajillo of the morning?

Thankfully, I can now take my old iPod and fashion it into a case for my cancer-sticks, just like the one above made by Tara of the Tulip Society blog. Tara doesn’t smoke, but made this case from a dead, dropped iPod with a cracked screen to “to impress people at bars and such.”

She actually painted the screen black, presumably to symbolize the tar-coated lungs of a committed puffer. I’d keep it clear to see the fags inside. I’d also hinge it for quicker access — the picture seems to show that Tara’s mod simply snaps together like a vanilla iPod. Still, who knew that an old classic iPod was just the right size for holding cigarettes? There even seems to be space at the top for a small lighter.

This is a lot cooler if you smoke [Tulip society via BBG]
