Recycled rubber tires make for one ugly iPod case

I think this one falls into the ugly but ruggedly cool category. I prefer a case more like the Toughskins that they are giving away at Amazon w/ the purchase of a new iPod though. $55 seems a bit steep for recycled materials.

They've got crocodile and cow leather? Doesn't sound green to me either.

i actually think it looks kind of cool. but if you think it is an ugly worthless product, why do you bother posting about it?

quantity v quality....

I like it too =). This is the first case I've liked so far, and I've seen all sorts of cases. Still using the case that comes with iPods for that reason.

I think it's got quite a nice rugged look and it's great that they're recyling material. I don't understand why you have to be so negative.

OK, its ugly... but I love the idea. BUT, I know a place where you can buy cases with that recycling-idea that are nice. Not just for ipods, for macbooks as well. NO, I do not work for that company. Check it: www.freitag.ch

Ugly is beautiful. Laurie, please do something to improve your mood.

yep. me too. cool bag.

the limitations of the web, pixels can't convey (yet) to the human nostrils the fine miasma this product likely offgases.

Wait, they're eco-friendly but they have to kill a crocodile for the inside of the case? I think not. This is some sort of weird industrial fashion item. This is probably something for those obsessed with Von Dutch.
