A popular mod among
Creative Zen Micro owners that involves using the rectangular
Altoids case to store the mp3 player. Without any modifications a Micro nearly sits perfectly inside a case. Padding the inner-walls not only makes for a perfect fit, it also gives a bit of drop protection. A hole is
cut away at the top to allow access to the power/lock button, headphone jack, microphone, and USB input.
The case can be painted and decorated to the owner's preference.
There were over 50 overpriced cases for the iPod and not a single one for my
Micro, so I spent
75 cents on some
Altoids and did an Altoids case mod at home.
