The site presents several original cases for a USB drive, in the style of steampunkin a chewing gum case, etc. In this article, we will discuss how to install a USB drive into the body of a micro audio cassette. Such tapes were used, and maybe even now, are used in voice recorders. You can buy cassettes with a drive (samples can be seen in the latest photos), but the master decided to make such a device on his own.
Tools and materials:

-USB drive;
Step one: disassemble the cassette
First you need to disassemble the cassette. If there are mounting screws, unscrew them, using a knife, disassemble the cassette into two halves. The magnetic tape needs to be removed.
