This pikachu iPod nano case was a commission from Mooch4LoveKitty at SheezyArt. (Therefore, it’s not for sale to anyone but her.)

Features:
*full port access while case is in use
* bottom ports reinforced with hot-glue
* adjustable lanyard
* screen and scroll wheel protected by clear plastic, which still allows for use
* interior lining of felt + reinforcement of plastic for strength and water-resistance
* Pikachu’s “face” lifts up for easy access to screen, but when not viewing screen his face is down, which makes the iPod case look more like a stuffed animal and less like an iPod case
* Pikachu’s tail is made of two layers of felt with a hidden layer of plastic, reinforced by hot glue. (I was concerned that it might get damaged, since it sticks out a bit, so I reinforced it.)
* his lower legs are reinforced the same way that his tail is
* his face is painted on with permanent markers (felt was almost impossible for such tiny dimensions, and I didn’t want parts to fall off…)
* he’s very water-resistant. He shouldn’t be intentionally exposed to water, but in a light rain you’ll have ample time to put him away since he has so much plastic hidden between the felt layers
* the case stays closed by itself, but I put in a new closure system anyway. I noticed that the clear plastic I used for reinforcing his interior framework tended to stick to itself- and remembering that velcro sometimes quits working after a while, I instead used two ample pieces of this clingy-but-tough plastic as closure (see photos for details.)

* Pikachu had a tragic love story with my stuffed Mew, by the way, but it wasn’t meant to be… However, he’s eager to go to his new owner to soothe his broken heart.
