My altoids hack is quite simple.

I use the tin it to carry tic tacs.

Mine is not an Altoids can but I have a Penguin Peppermint headphone Amp Can. It works wonders for my Sony MDR-V6 headphones.

These really aren’t ‘hacks’. They are more like engineering projects using a specific material. A metal box simply isn’t high-tech enough to be hacked.

‘Hack’ in the contemporary vernacular, in the most general sense, simply means ‘repurpose”.
