As you may have seen over the internet there have been a lot of people making mods of the pip boy 3000 from the “Survival Edition” of “Fallout 3″
Now we do not pursue cosplay tips and hints often but if we can help at some point we will. This one was a bit interesting so we decided to share.
Note: These videos are only intended for cosplaying everything in the videos is registered to Bethesda Softworks LLC, a ZeniMax Media company

As you may know if you have an Iphone/Itouch there is no option in the “video section” to continuously repeat videos so here a quick way around that.
1. Create a new playlist in itunes for Iphone/Itouch titled “Music Videos”
2. Import the downloaded video there.
3. right click and press “get info” hit the “Options video” select “Music Video” in the “Media Kind” box and press ok.
4. This should put your videos in the videos section and in the music section under music videos, The only way to loop it is to play the video through your Music section under playlists. Push repeat at the top left while playing, and wallah, Done!

You did an awesome job. Better fit than mine and your videos are the best.
Well done!
Otaku Joe
Man, that is freakin’ cool!
I wished I had one, then I could cosplay as the lone wanderer!
You sir, are a god. I’m doing this for Halloween this year and, after finding Otaku Joe’s, have been hunting for a good tutorial. Yours is definitely the most complete of all I’ve seen, and the video is a perfect complement to the pictures I made of every single Pipboy information screen. (I plan on switching between radio and static images during the night like you do in the real pipboy.) Can’t wait to get back to work on mine now.
Great job! Thanks for making this tutorial. I’m putting together a Pip-boy for myself for Halloween. A couple of questions… How do you access the home button (Or does the Ipod Touch even have a home button? I’m using my Iphone.) Also, what did you use to melt the wall?
Thanks and thanks in advance for any help!
Thanks for the compliments on the tutorial everyone.
To Nitro9a I access the home button by sticking my finder in behind the wall, it does not lay flat across the edge so I have space to do so. About the melting I actually had nothing equipment wise with me so i just did it the most primitive way by heating up the end of knives on a stove lol, but I would suggest using a Soldering iron. that would work wonders.
Also update on the tutorial, download a simple flashlight app and change the color to greenish so it can be used as a flashlight.
Knives on a stove, nice! You’re braver than I or at least I’m not sure I have enough skill to make that work as well as you did. I think I’ll go pick up a soldering iron.
Thanks so much for getting back to me.
I just completed this mod myself. The video is awesome, my only complaint is with Apple’s auto orientation feature which you will find forces the video to constantly switch from portrait to landscape mode as you walk around. It wont interrupt the playback, but its annoying in a nit picky way.
My advice is to cut a little at a time, I ended up melting too much out and had to use 3M automotive grade double sided tape to keep the iphone in.
Also, cut out the vents on the right side of the device for speaker holes, it works perfect.
Awesome
