I think your grands would like it made from jeans. If you google "cell phone" case tutorials you may find something you like. Mine was really easy to make. PM me if you want me to scan the instructions & email them to you. Mine doesn't have a strap but it would be easy to add one. Mine has a flap that folds over & is secured with velcro.
Here's a tutorial similar to the one I made (you could adjust the size for the players):

thank you so much this is perfect. I made a small one to fit over their head and wear like a lanyard. But this will be much better. I like the velcro idea. I am hoping this will keep it out of pockets and washing machine. Thank you too for cell phone idea. I googled mp3 holder and didn't find a thing . I really appreciate this.
