Cushioned Tamagotchi

Pauly · Oct 19, 2014

I always seem to have Tamagotchi somewhere sitting snug inside a foam cushion. Might want to try using some. You know, the type you'd find on ancient headsets (though I don't recommend trying to use the Walkman-type stuff). Ever feel guilty about having minor scuffs on your newly-unpackaged Tamagotchi? Won't have to worry about 'em so much if you shove them into some of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Headphone-Earphone-Foam-Cushion-Ear-Pad-Earpad-Cover-/331143570832?pt=US_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4d19b1e590

Been doing this since the beginning. Recent examples can be found here and here in my log.

Not always great if you want drop protection, but should be fine as protection from minor scuffs. Note that the display and antenna would remain almost entirely unprotected.

Thanks for the tip! This is so useful.

This is actually pretty useful, specially for carrying them around, for instance, in a pocket. I'm always afraid to shove them in my pocket it there's anything else on it because I always think they'll get scratched.

Great idea!! I have some of those lying around somewhere. I'll give that a whirl. ETA: I just looked at the item on ebay, and just bought 20 of them. They're very inexpensive, and I thought I'd just buy some new ones.

I thought I ought to mention that IR connection still works with the piece on

^^Awesome!! I was wondering about that. Thank you. Well, my cushions came (and I found my other ones), and they're perfect!! I'm ordering more. This is a super idea, Pauly. Soon, no more bubble wrap, and they're cheaper than those skins that come with the Decoratchi kits.
