Sort of related. Your post reminded me of an exchange at work the other day...

My boss is a master with hides and leatherwork. Upon failing to find a case for his iPod Classic that suited him I suggested he make a custom one for himself out of some really nice Elk or similar hide using a commercially available case as a template.

He looked at me in wonder. -for some reason it hadn't occurred to him to do one for himself.

He's a Native American trained extensively in this kind of craft, so I'm really interested to see what he develops for himself now.

NNGUYEN - What other MP3 players? Are you being sarcastic? :)

But seriously, I am going to buy one of these for every vegan I know!

These would probably be really bad slipcases. If any of you have ever had a belt, shoes or bag made from cowhide you will know what i'm talkig about. It takes very little friction to create bald spots on cowhide, and i would imaging these slipcases are made out of a thin piece of the hide with finer hair. The cases might end up being more delicate than the iphone!

Cardinale: no, I wasn't being sarcastic. I have never owned any apple products, and it's disappointing to not see any wonderful news about other brands on this site.

Also, I only did a quick glance before and didn't notice this is for iPhones and not iPods.

How about some cool cases for Blackberries or Palms?
