Apple announces leather iPod case


No one saw this one coming. Apple has introduced a leather iPod case for both the 5th generation iPods and the iPod nano. Made of fine Italian leather, these cases will set you back $99 each. However, they incorporate a clever black ribbon that makes getting your iPod out a breeze. No word yet on how one is supposed to watch a TV show from iTunes when your iPod is in this case.

I remember when cases like those came WITH the iPod (although they were not leather.) What is Apple thinking? I have a gut feeling the prices on these puppies will see a DRASTIC decrease due to lack of sales.

We can probably blame the Italian mob for charging Apple so much for their leather. (*Insert well chosen Godfather quote here.*)

Want to spend $99 on a iPod case? Get a Vaja. Much nicer and you can use your controls and see your screen!

I like them!

But the price needs to come down, we need a nice case like that, for the rest of us, a he likes to say!

But the Hi-Fi is cool, and mac mini is nice!

$100.00!!??
That is just a joke... I fully expect this little tid bit to seriously be a big flopola.
I picked up a little leather cover for a comparitively small 30 and there's access to everything....
Whatever Stevemeister!

how about something like the Nano Tubes for the regular iPod. Those Nano Tubes look very sleak.
