A reader, Ryan Stewart, was inspired by this project to create a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipapercraft.com\/\" target=\"new\">Web-based automator<\/a> for this process, and one that works with any iPod. You select your Pod, upload an image, and it generates a PDF for printing and cutting. Mark at BB made <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boingboing.net\/2006\/12\/12\/papercraft_ipod_cove.html\" target=\"new\">this lovely cover<\/a> using the tool. <\/p>\n<p> Ryan has built several other automators. Last night, I used the <a href=\"http:\/\/eleven21.com\/hipster\/\" target=\"new\">HipsterPDA Cover Generator<\/a> to make a cover for my organizer. I just grabbed the first JPG I bumped into on my desktop, William Blake&#8217;s Glad Day, and it fit so perfectly and looks wonderful in action. <\/p>\n<p> Ryan has it set up so that you specify the thickness of your Hipster and the cover is generated with side tabs (and a top width) set to that size. While this looks kind of cool in situ, my Hipster expands and contracts a bit, so the set definition of a width doesn&#8217;t make sense. I ended up slicing my side tabs off and I&#8217;m happier with it. He also says you must use Legal-size paper or card. I had Letter-size card and just moved the art in Acrobat to fit (just barely) on the page. Worked fine. <\/p>\n<p> After the jump are the contents of my breast pocket: my newly covered Hipster next to my Moleskine Cahier and my new best friend, the Varsity Pilot disposable fountain pen. And yes, I know I suck as a photographer. <\/p>\n<p> <i>Thanks to Alberto on the assist!<\/i> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.digg.com\/submit\" target=\"new\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/img\/badges\/91x17-digg-button-alt.gif\" width=\"91\" height=\"17\" alt=\"Digg!\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" border=1 src=\"https:\/\/streettech.com\/storypics\/gladPDA3.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9353","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-diy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9353"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9353\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/streettech.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
