Inconspicuous eh?

My old Apricorn External HDD was sittin’ around, held together by gorilla tape, lookin’ all sad and what-not. So I took the HDD and small board on the inside out of the case, and noticed they would fit nicely into a moleskine notebook, of which I have many lying around. So I cut the center out of all 80 pages of a Moleskine sketch book to form a cavity, you know like you would make if you were hiding a flask in a bible, and placed the HDD inside. And I recorded a time lapse of it too!

Here are some pictures of the finished product: (video at the bottom)

OH SNAP! A CORD!

    It would have been neat if you put some foam or rubber bits in there to try to pad it a bit so you could have some extra protection.

    That way you don’t have to worry about it breaking as much.

    Thanks a lot John!
    And there are actually rubber nubs on the four corners of the HDD from the original case, so everything should be cool.
