My Homemade traveling-box (adaptation of original Adam box)

Since I was in a creative mood yesterday, I also adapted my Adam box so it would fit in my bag. So after making my sleeve (see previous article), I thought it would be nice to have a more robust case to transport my Adam in. That's why I adapted the box, keeping the original idea of the integrated stand, but making it less thick.

Here are the steps I followed and of course the result: (it would be nice to cover it with a nice material like leather or something, and just leaving the logo)

 The original box

 See how fat it is!

 Keep the original protective padding

 Open the sides

 Tape the connections and draw Adam profile-lines

 this line will be the new folding line: the rest has to be cut away after folding

Do this for all the sides and glue them back or use double sided tape

Now the stand: it has to be slightly adapted to fold in between the protective padding: narrowing the sides

 Now attach the padding with double-sided tape . Let it follow the upperside of the box

 The result!

Adam can be used inside of this box: the rubber already has the necessary gaps!

 Do the same with the cover: make it thinner by refolding it following the profile of the under-box

 et voilà!

My Homemade sleeve

I was looking for a nice sleeve, but couldn't find it. So, I made it myself. This is the most flexible sleeve I could think of for home-use: you can keep your Adam safe in it and it's very nice looking and easy to handle.

I integrated some magnets at the four corners. This will make both sides connect perfectly in the open position with the flap folded behind.

Due to the added thickness, the grip of the Adam is enhanced. Adam itself is attached with Velcro strips. Do you like it?

 

I integrated the logo

Adam doesn't lose his looks

You can fold the flap of the sleeve behind where it fits perfectly due to the magnets

Adam is fixed into place with velcro

Inside view of the cover: see the integrated logo and magnets that keep everything in place when folded over
