You know no one would swipe a walkman these days (unless they were hitting up an '90s costume party and needed the prop), but iPod theft is incredibly high. That's precisely why we love this great idea to use an old, portable cassette player as a case to hide your favourite MP3 player.
Just make sure you've got the old school head phones to go with it. You need to protect your gadget's true identity; the crisp white Apple buds are kind of a give away.
