No way!! ed:
I had that idea for the iPod with the big tins, but that was just...an idea, since I didnt have one. Then I got the idea to put my Shuffle in one of those Altoid gum-tins (literally the same size as a Shuffle from the outside), but the curved insides kept me from getting it inside.

Thats so incredibly l33t...

I've got a collection of Altoid tins in my closet, maybe I can get a small hammer to ding out the inside curves to be more straight, so the Shuffle can fit right in..

...how'd/where'd you get the foam?

I had a Zen micro, i loved it, the touch pad is kind of gay, if you have gloves on your basically fucked. But than i dropped it and it stopped working, and since theres a huge lack in accessories for it i bought an iPod with a shockproof case that can take a hard fall and still work. rock:
