Well..... I am cheap, and handy with duct tape, and i wanted a wallet/case for my visor.

So this is what happened:

It has 3 card slots, the cash part, and the visor is attached by sliding the cover into a slot made for it, and it is pretty secure. It also has the velcro latch.

It's not too hard if your handy with duct tape =).

Some people think it is pretty ghetto, but most of my friends think it is pretty cool, and they want me to make some for them.

What do you think?

If your friends really want you to make some for them then I'd gouge them on the price. If you decide to go into to business for yourself making duct tape cases then be careful about showing your product to any prospective investors unless they are from Florida.

Reminds me of one of those southern jokes:

"Things you'll never hear a Southerner say:

....Duct tape wont fix that!"

Hmmm, macaroni shells.... ill um, think about it =). Im looking for another project w/ duct tape or just in general for my visor.... i was thinking something with metal (which i am learning to work with currently). maybe a recreated slider case out of cheap sheet metal (or alluminum foil ahahaha). =)

I like it, but I think it should have some recycled rubber somewhere on it. Should be lots of surplus Firestones available, real cheap ! :-0
