Iphone 3GS PCB Testing Box

[Gledison]

Hello everyone!
this is my first build! I've got a tip from some people that suggested me to build first a testing box to test the pcbs before boxing it.
I was looking around and found an old iphone Box and decided to build in it! my contribution to sustainability
here it is:

Love it!  Those iphone boxes are pretty sturdy.  The ipods used to come packaged in some nice plastic cases, wish I still had them.

Very clever! Recycling ftw!

... could be an easy thing to shield it too if you want; tape the interior with Cu- or aluminum:)

Very cool.

Thanks!
the shielding idea is good! I will be using only for testing the PCBs , do you think that is really necessary?
well, intern would look nice!!
I had to ground both input/output jacks together because Apple was not clever enough to build a Conductive Box

Shielding won't help much because the pcb will be outside the box

Yea, Josh is absolutely right here, as long as you use it for your purpose - connecting to pcb-s outside the box, shielding wont make any difference. I myself don't even have a box for that purpose, i do it all in open air:)

But still; it is a piece o cake to Shield its interior, if you like to design it for ... something inside Worth shielding.

Cheers
