Cardboard ukulele case

nickman2 · Aug 30, 2010

Hey everyone. I am working on a new video and for one of the scenes there is a beat up Ukulele case with a nice ukulele in it. instead of looking all over for an already beat up hard case or spending a lot of money on one that i'm going to destroy, I decided to make one out of cardboard so it looks "ghetto" tell me what you guys think about it.

Am I weird? Because I actually like it! What would make it even cooler is to line the ourside with duct tape and put pretty padding inside. And you might be onto something

LOL
It's an interesting case, but IMO it does not look "beat up".

amen to the Duct Tape and Padding... and might I suggest a rope handle?

Hi Nickman2,

Good job on the case. I'm still using the packing box for my
Makala MK-C, gotta get crafty.

It's better than a gigbag

Cheers.

hey guys. I'm really glad you like the case design. instead of making it look beat up I decided to add some of my custom artwork to it. let me know what you guys think.

I like the watermelon on it.

And yes, I have used the regular cardboard box they've came in for storage before. Works very well...and helps maintain resale value as an LNIB instrument.

Very creative Nick, I like the watermelons and the bottom of the trees transition.....thanks for sharing...

Yeah, $0.29 beats the heck outta $799.99! I would protect that graphic with some fine 3M Ultra Clear Packing Tape, though. Don't wanna skrimp there! Nice job.
