Recycled rubber tires make for one ugly iPod case

Passchal, a Virginia-based handbag that specializes in recycled rubber products (don't even go there, folks) has introduced what may very well be the ugliest iPod case we've seen to date. Oh sure, it's got that "green" eco-friendly cachet, but when I think iPod, I don't think "burning rubber." And this is coming from a girl whose daddy was a truck driver. Not some wimpy moving van, but a big rig, 18-wheeler.

The outer case is made from recycled (read: used) truck and tractor inner tubes, while the interior is a black embossed croc leather, with a suede lining. It comes with a leather wrist strap and fits 30GB and 60GB video iPods.

I don't know about you, but for 55 bucks, I want an iPod case that hasn't rolled in more convoys than I have.
