Nice project.
Last night whilst checking out the building’s dumpsters (my anti-consumerist activity.) I came across a plastic iPod case in its package, a huge plastic envelope with a plastic zipper. On the package it said “Don’t throw me away!” Hm, I thought, that didn’t work. Then I looked more deeply into the bag it came out of and it was chock full of the things, maybe a hundred. Definitely did not work.
Your version will at least degrade gracefully. An alternative that might appeal to some regular consumers.
