How to recycle a book into an iPad stealth case

Posted: 05 Nov 2011 01:43 AM PDT

Asmita Prasad:

The iPad is one of the fanciest gadget available in the market today, but there are times when you just didn't want people to know you've got one with you. Since Apple does not offer a stealth casing for iPad in its accessories line, trying to find one created by other Apple enthusiasts and bag designers may just be too much of a heartache that your wallet might always not agree. So, if you are moderately skilled with a hobby knife, have around half an hour to spare, and remember your third grade crafts teacher's tips on how to glue paper, then you can make yourself a very cool stealth case for your iPad using a few crafts essentials that are easily found at home or can even be bought at convenience stores for less than $5 dollars.

Difficulty level: Moderate

Time required: 30 minutes (plus the time you spend on finding the right-sized book)

Resources required

1. A hobby knife/A pair of scissors

2. Paper clips

3. Paper glue

4. A large coffee table book

5. A pen or a fine marker

6. Stickers of your own choice (optional)

Estimated cost: less than $5 if you decide to purchase the crafts supplies; $0 if you already have these in your house.

Instructions

Step 1: Find a coffee table book of the correct size

While making a stealth case for the iPad, it is very crucial to find the right sized book. This might be a little more time-consuming than the other steps in the process but the investment is completely worth it since it allows you to browse through old books in thrift stores or flea market or even yard sales which is plenty of fun on its own, and also allows you to find just the right sized book, with pages that are just the right thickness, and the best part is that hunting for your book this way lets you make big savings on this entire project.

Alternatively, if you want to give your iPad the VIP treatment, you can also buy yourself a new coffee table book though we don't generally recommend such wastage.

When you're buying the book, bring your iPad with you and measure it. You want a book that still has around 20 mm (3/4″) to 25 mm (1″) left over on all sides (you can leave thicker margins if you like) when you place your iPad in the middle. Look for a book that is thick enough to easily house your tablet but don't opt for a book that is too thick because then it will just be too heavy to carry around.

Also, try to go for a book with thick pages since they are easier to clip and it would take less time to glue thick pages together.

Step 2: Stencil the iPad

To begin, simply open the cover of the book right side up and place your iPad on the first page. Using a pen, stencil the size of the iPad on the page with a fine marker or a pen. You should ideally not use a pencil to do this since the lead of the pencil would rub off on the edges of the iPad.

Step 3: Cutting the pages

This part of the process is a little tedious and boring though it is also challenging at the same time and you would need to be very cautious.

Ideally, what you want to do in this step is to cut one page at a time since it would give you a perfect finish on all the pages, but if you are not ready to put so much hard work into the project or are not that good with hobby knives and scissors, you can very simply delegate this bit to someone more skilled or simply back yourself up and do with a handful of pages at a time.

If you are cutting one page at a time, simply cut along the stencil mark that you created, then smoothen out the page on the page below and mark the stencil's edges on it using a marker and repeat the cutting process and stencil the next page, and so on.

Alternatively, if you want to cut out a few pages, or all the pages at one go, you can simply stencil out the iPad's dimensions on the first page, then use paper clips to clamp down the number of pages you wanna clip at one go, and then use a hobby knife to cut along all the straight edges pressing the blade deep into the book, like you were cutting a cake!

When you are done cutting through the pages, simply hold out one page at a time and "pop out" the cut out pieces, or if you have left the edges uncut, use a curved scissor (like a manicure scissor for example) to finely cut out the edges.

Step 3: Gluing the pages together

This is where investing in a book with thick pages really pays off since you would have pages that are thicker and stronger, hence easier to smoothen out after gluing, and you also have lesser pages to get through.

Since you already have your pages cut out, you simply need to glue them together carefully. Start at the last page since you would need to press them down when you've glued them. Glue the pages leaving around half a centimeter around the edges since they would be covered when the pages are pressed and smoothened. Press and smoothen and repeat the process till you reach the first page. If you have few pages left at the bottom without any stenciled and scooped out parts, glue them as well and glue the underside of the last page to the back cover of the book too.

Remember to do a quick fitting before starting the gluing process since you would wanna leave some space for the charger to fit through. The best thing to do is to leave one page unglued in the middle to facilitate charging and USB connections. You would then simply have to lift the unglued pages to fit the cable into the dock connector to charge your iPad.

When you reach the top, place a loose sheet of paper between the topmost page of your scooped and glued out book and the cover and leave it to dry. You can put it under a mattress overnight to get an optimum smoothened out effect.

When the glue has dried, you would need to scoop out a little 'U' shape at any edge of the hollowed part to allow you to pop your iPad out with ease.

Step 3: Smoothing out the edges

This is more of a finishing touch than a real necessity if you have been careful and meticulous in the paper-cutting step. To do this, use a tiny sander to sand the edges of the hollowed out part, or you can also use a sharp-edges hobby knife to get the job done. When smoothened, you can paint over the hollowed part with a black marker or paint to give it a nice custom look.

Step 4: Do a quick fitting and make alterations if required

Now that your stealth iPad case is all but finished, you would need to do a quick fitting session to make sure the thickness, breadth and width of the hollowed out part is just right. If not, make alterations wherever necessary.

Step 5: Make room for the buttons

Because the iPad 2 buttons are on the curves you can skip this step, but if you have an iPad 1, you can use the drum sander tool to create space for the volume/mute and the power button on the sides.

Step 5: Insert the remote power button

To create a remote power button for your iPad stealth version, simply insert a paper clip along the edge of the iPad into the book and use it to turn your iPad on and off.

Step 6: Add a security strap

To ensure that your iPad does not slip out of its cover, you can simply use an old elasticated fabric hair band to secure the iPad in place when not in use, or you can use a length of elastic band to make a loop and use that instead.

Step 5: Customize the cover of the book

Having put in so much effort into creating an iPad case out of an old coffee table book, chances are you might not want it to look as stealth as it does. Though we recommend that you retain the dust sleeve that came with the book yet you can cover it as per your choice.


Frequently asked questions

Q: How can I put a permanent security strap in my stealth iPad case?

Ans: To put in a permanent security strap in your iPad case you will need a stapler and a couple of lengths of elastic band. We recommend the usage of elastic since it is sturdy enough to keep the iPad in place while being flexible enough to be shifted aside with ease when the iPad needs to be removed from the case. To make this strap, cut the elastic band into two pieces that measure the width of the page. Then place the straps along the sides of the edges of the hollowed out part ensuring that the elastic covers only about a centimeter of the iPad's edge. Staple the elastic band into place and you're done.

Quick tips

1. During the gluing process when you are pressing the pages together, remember to wipe the edges of the pages with a cotton cloth to get rid of excess glue.

2. If you have been shabby and the glue has spilt over the edges of the pages, you can simply use a marker or paint to paint the outer edge.


Things to watch out for

1. Cutting and gluing the pages is going to be the most tedious part of the entire process and if you are just not skilled with it, do not hesitate to ask for help. You can even go to a hardware store or a furniture-making shop and ask for help though that might cost you extra.

2. It is going to be absolutely essential that you remember to leave room for the connectors and cables since it might not be so easy to unglue pages later on.

3. While cutting out the pages, make sure that the spine of the book is always held straight otherwise you will end up with an uneven and crooked cradle.


10 Glucometer concepts to calculate the blood glucose level on your own

Glucometer concepts
Glucometer conceptsGlucometer concepts to calculate the blood glucose level on your own


With the advent of technology, a need to work at a lot of things from communication to medical tests has become evident. This very need was what brought the telephone into existence and the same goes for the television, when it was felt that the happenings around the world should be known to every member of the family without having to go outside into the streets, where the situation was not exactly a synonym of stable. The very same need gave rise to the Glucometer, a pocket sized machine that helps you to check the level of glucose in the blood on an everyday basis. It is to be noted that Glucometer is the trademark of a company called Bayer AG. There are other companies that sell glucose meters under different names, one of them being Accu-Chek. Here is a list of 10 glucometer concepts to calculate the blood glucose level on your own. Have a look!

1. The drop concept

The drop concept
The drop conceptThe drop concept

This concept talks about one of the most common ways of testing your blood sugar with a single drop of your blood. Most glucose meters work on this concept, where a drop of your blood is set on a test strip, and this strip is inserted into a glucose meter, which subsequently gives us a reading that you may interpret according to your own needs. There is also a method to test the level of blood glucose without using a glucose meter. Many firms including Roche and NHS have introduced visually readable strips that change color to indicate the levels of blood glucose. These are famous not only because there is no bulky meter involved, but also because they can be cut longitudinally, making them more economical.

As a footnote, the most common symptoms of diabetes and hypoglycemia, which are caused by high and low blood glucose levels respectively are increased fatigue, extreme hunger and thirst, irritability, blurry vision, unusual weight loss and frequent urination. Any sign of these symptoms call for immediate action and you must get your blood glucose tested immediately.

2. Medtronic diabetes concept car with in-dash glucose monitor

The world famous firm Medtronic, which gave the world its gifts of some of the best defibrillators, drug pumps and pacemakers, has yet another wonder to present. At the annual meeting of the American Diabetes Association, 2011, Medtronic unveiled its surprise, the M-Powered concept car that has been equipped with instrumentation that is set to constantly monitor your blood glucose levels, and provide with audio as well as video reminders as to where the levels are going. In case there is an emergency, the machine is to first send out a warning, and then it must force a shut down just in case things are about to go out of hand. With this amazing idea, Medtronic had gained many a credit and hopes to help in whatever way possible.

3. Gluco (M) Wristband

Technology has never failed to surprise us with its many wonders. The Gluco (M) Wristband, a concept glucose monitor, is for those who are not exactly part of the always-in-one-place category and have to move around a lot. This band helps monitor your blood glucose levels constantly, and what's more? The pivot joint that helps with the 360 degree rotation doubles up as a measure for an insulin injection. This way you can get your work done with a guarantee in mind that your blood glucose levels are being watched and if there is an irregularity, you would get a warning signal immediately.

4. Cambridge Consultants Glucometer Concepts

Cambridge Consultants

Cambridge Consultants, a US based product development firm, has an all new take on how to make life simpler by making sure that glucose meters and insulin pumps work hand in hand, all on their own. This concept is very much linked to the NFC (Near Field Communication) form of wireless technology that was developed by Philips and Sony. The glucose meter and the insulin pump could be fixed together via a wireless, in this case, NFC connection. Once the glucose meter finishes taking a reading and it is seen that the patient requires a dose, it sends a signal to the insulin pump to release a dose of insulin. Of course, the patient has the choice of whether or not he wants to accept the medicine, which makes this device user-friendly.

5. Diabetes insulin dependent concept

Diabetes insulin dependent concept

This is another pretty famous concept which has actually come into practice. In fact, most patients who suffer from diabetes happen to make use of this method for their insulin injections everyday. The idea behind this concept is that, sometimes, the insulin requirement may differ from the dosage that was prescribed by the doctor. In such cases, it is wise only to take the amount that is necessary and nothing that is higher or lower than that. So, the glucose meter here indicates the blood glucose levels and the required amount of insulin may be injected into the system with the pen syringe, as it is called.

6. USB Glucometer

This concept brought forward by Kenny Hopper is very similar to most devices that are already available in the market. But the point that makes a difference is that once the data is ready inside the machine, it can be connected to your computer via USB, and the information can then be shared with your doctor through the internet or through printouts.

7. Integrated Blood Glucose Monitor

The Integrated Blood Glucose Monitor is yet another effort towards creating a rather compact device that can handle the testing and data display, while allowing the user to continue whatever task they had at hand. The concept wraps up the test strip, the lancet and the electronics into one single unit.

8. Trinity Glucose Meter

The Trinity Glucose Meter is another concept that aims at making a compact blood glucose meter, which would fit in your pocket. This concept was brought forward by Jarod Addison, as an individual project.

This design is quite similar to the Integrated Blood Glucose Meter, and the concept is also very similar to it. This concept packs everything required into one small case, which fits in your pocket with ease.

10. MIT’s Ramen Spectroscopy Glucose Meter

This is one of the most revolutionary ideas so far, and that is because this requires no pricking at all. The brilliant brains at MIT came up with an infrared blood glucose meter that lets infrared rays penetrate the skin and sense the blood glucose levels. Thanks to the no pain design, this is going to become an instant hit once it gets into the market with a more compact design, of course.

The electronic gadgets have completely changed the meaning of the devices and have introduced some of the most exotic devices. These electronic gadgets are not only beautiful but are also fun to use. But, there are some electronic gadgets, especially the USB powered devices which are really sick to use and should actually be ignored. These devices are just mere waste of money and thus should be avoided. Here is a list of seven strange USB gadgets you should never go for. Have a look!

1. USB-Powered Butt Cooler

This is something irritating. This is a sick cooler that is actually USB powered and is made especially to cool off your butt. Yes you heard it right, this butt cooler is what made to cool your butt out of sweat and other stuffs and is completely powered by USB. It is made to be placed near the butt and is provided with a switch to on/off. This is just nothing that is attractive and if you are still interested in it, you too can get your butt cooled buying this product.

2. USB Heated Slippers

Slippers are actually fun and cool to use if they are trendy and exotic. But, this is something that can be avoided from far distance itself. This is a USB powered slippers which come along with a warm cushion like stuff into which you can drag your legs and feel the heat inside. It can be used at times but is completely out of fashion and of no use. It is priced at $42.

3. USB Mini Fridge

Here is a new definition of the traditional fridge. This is actually a micro mini fridge that is capable of cooling stuffs like drinks and other related products. Also, it is USB powered so that you need not bother plugging it inside a power cable. It can be place on your computer desk but is messy to have control. The space it occupies is less but is actually not worth of using as it is something not most commonly used.

4. USB Scan Toaster

Easy steps to clean your Apple Mighty Mouse

Apple Mighty Mouse
Apple Mighty MouseEasy steps to clean your Apple Mighty Mouse

Here's Apple, Inc.'s take at what a mouse is all about. They've named it the Mighty Mouse, though is hasn't turned out to be all that mighty, given that something like dust can make it trapped and defunct, unless it isn't pulled apart and cleaned. It was released in 2005, only to be replaced by the Magic Mouse, four years later, in 2009. The Apple Mighty Mouse has a touch sensitive top, which makes sure that the mouse doesn't have buttons, but just touch sensitive areas, 360 degree track ball, force sensing sides and laser tracking. The Mighty Mouse is characterized by a plastic body in white and an Apple, Inc. on the top. The Mighty Mouse can perform functions along the lines of a regular mouse, that include up and down scrolling and right and left scrolling.

The mouse is also capable of scrolling diagonally, which you don't get to see in a lot of other places. Apart from amazing people with its scrolling capabilities, the mouse also has a tiny speaker inside it, that emits a sound when the scroll ball is being rolled. For those, who don't find it all that entertaining, the only way to disable the sound is to physically disable the speaker inside the mouse. It can also open spotlight and switch applications. The touch sensitive top may look and sound all new-generation, but it makes it difficult to use the left and right-click functions of the mouse simultaneously. One must lift his finger off the surface to use the right-click feature, which is not very comfortable. The Mighty Mouse has a battery compartment which uses two AA Alkaline, Lithium or rechargeable batteries. The battery compartment must be kept clean and there should be no moisture. Batteries must either be new or fully charged, as in the case of rechargeable batteries.

Due to the issue of dirt getting stuck in the track ball, the mouse ceases to function properly. It is, therefore, very important to regularly clean the mouse for it to perform well. Out of the four main functional parts which include left and right sensors and a side squeeze, the track ball is what helps with the scrolling, and that's where the dirt gets stuck. The Mighty Mouse is a dust sensitive mouse, and therefore, regular cleaning and maintenance is required. The Mighty Mouse is not as popular as its other counterparts because even a little accumulation of dust causes the scroll ball to malfunction. It is very difficult to clean the mouse without dismantling it and though there are methods to clean the mouse without taking it apart, it's not possible to get rid of all the dust. Also, removing the scroll ball from its socket is a major issue. This makes the Apple Mighty Mouse a not so mighty as an accessory; it has to be used very carefully and in a dust free environment.

The following sections of the article are supplied with a few tips on cleaning the Mighty Mouse.

Difficulty Level

Dismantling the mouse is quite an easy task, though cleaning it may call for a little more attention.

Time Required

It takes about 5 to 7 minutes to finish opening the mouse, cleaning it and putting it back together.

Estimated Cost

Except for clear tape and a lint free cloth, there's nothing else that one requires.

Instructions

1. First of all, clean your hands and pat them dry.

2. Unplug the mouse from your device and remove the batteries from the mouse.

3. Use a strip of clear tape as an insert into the ball socket in such a way, that the sticky side faces the inside of the socket and the dust can get stuck to it.

4. Now, feed the tape inside the mouse by scrolling the mouse forward and keep doing so, until the tape comes out from the other side.

5. Move the tape back and forth for a couple of times, so that, all the dirt on the ball sticks to it.

6. Remove the tape and feed a fresh strip of tape to see if more dust is present on the scroll ball.

7. Keep cleaning the mouse at regular intervals to avoid accumulation of dust. You may also use the lint free cloth to get the debris off the track ball.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Do I have to open the mouse to clean it?

A. No, you can clean the mouse with all its parts attached. It is difficult to get the scroll ball out of the socket. Don't use any force on it.

Q. Can I use water or any other solution to clean it?

A. It is advised to avoid the usage of water or other cleaning solutions to clean the mouse.

Q. Do I have to clean the mouse regularly?

A. You should clean it at regular intervals with the method given above.

Q. Can I use an LCD cleaning spray to clean the mouse?

A. Please avoid using all types of sprays, as their usage can interfere with the normal functioning of the mouse.

Quick Tips:

  • Always handle the mouse with dry hands.
  • Avoid using the mouse in a dusty environment.
  • Use a dried cloth.
  • Use a lint free cloth to avoid any blockage due to fiber.
  • Move a tape slowly to allow the debris to get stuck to the tape.
  • Clean the mouse on a regular basis to avoid dust accumulation.

Things to Watch out For:

  • Avoid using a wet cloth.
  • Use a new fresh tap and avoid using one strip more than once.
  • Unplug the mouse before cleaning.
  • Remove the batteries before cleaning the mouse.
  • Be careful while feeding the tape in the scroll socket. Remove it instantly if it gets stuck
  • Do not use water or any other solution to clean the mouse.
  • Do not permit moisture to enter the internal parts of the mouse.
  • Avoid the usage of aerosol sprays, solvent or abrasives.
  • Always use new batteries.
  • Avoid using the mouse in dusty places
  • Use a lint free cloth to clean the mouse.
