iPhone, encased in leather

Michael sent us news of yet another iPhone case, this one made by Noreve. It looks pretty nice, and it's interesting that they created a flip that goes down instead of up-- they say that the camera is still usable with the case on, which is super nice. The colored cases aren't selling yet, apparently, but the black cases are in stock at €42.99.

And while my personal choice is probably to go with one of those cool wooden cases, if you really want leather, you'd be crazy not to take a look at the Vaja cases. Like TUAW's Dave Caolo, I've got a nice one on my iPod, and it is excellent. Like the Noreve cases, they're a little pricey but if you're going go all out and buy an Apple cell phone, you might as well go all out on the case, too.

Strange wooden velvet-lined case for iPod nano

Occasionally strange iPod cases surface (no not that pink knit case your great-aunt made you last year). Take for example this wooden velvet-lined iPod nano case engraved on the cover with the To-fu Oyako character found by Popgadget today. I find a few things wrong with this case, beyond the fact that a cartoon tofu guy is on the front: there is no access to the iPod controls nor, from what I can see, access to the dock connector when the case is closed.

I think we may have reached saturation on iPod cases folks. Feel free to post your favorite wacky character that should appear on an engraved iPod case in the comments. I vote for Trogdor (the Burninator) on a metal slip down iPod case.
