In-A-Minute Household Tech Protectors

GeekSugar comes to the rescue of frantic chicken-with-its-head-cut-off busybodies everywhere with a tip to store your laptop in a pillowcase before you jet out of the house to prevent scratches. While a pillowcase isn't exactly going to give you good protection against bumps and bruises, it is a quick fix against surface damage if you've got to grab-and go. A few more household tech protection tips we've heard about under the jump...

Use a (hopefully clean) sock to store your digital camera, phone or MP3 player. Keeps scratches and dust at bay.
Store your iPod or iPod Nano in an athletic wristband. If you get attached to this solution, sew one open end shut.
Pop your small cell or music device into a clamshell eyeglass case. It'll protect from scratches and keep your gadgets from breaking easily.
Hang your digital camera strap through one of the bottom holes of a flat-pack Neoprene beer coozie when you're dangling it from your wrist to have easy point-and-shoot access while still protecting against bumps.
