iPhone case from juice boxes

Marc @ MAKE writes:

Ross sent in these neat little DIY cases that keep your expensive electronics safe and sound. They are made entirely from recycled juice boxes. It's a great way to reuse what is otherwise a very hard thing to recycle. Check out the link for some tips and a nice pictorial how-to on making your own juice box cases.

i am sure that one can find other uses for juice boxes but christine is right on this one this is one of those things WHERE THE CHEAP CAN COME OUT EXPENSIVE, to place such an expensive phone in this kind of setup is asking for trouble, i applaud the crafter for trying to find new and unusual uses for throwaway stuff, i knit with plastic bags to make sturdy and free tote bags for groceries but this one is just not a good way to protect a very expensive piece of electronics and even with insurance these phones are not cheap to replace with the co-pays

Sorry - a little silly. If you buy an expensive phone, buy a REAL protective case to keep it from breaking.
