Weird iPod cases, part 50 gazillion - Battle for planet Nano
comment: 12 | Wednesday, September 14 (2005) 02:14PM | Posted by Robert Sinke
Ugh. Do these Speck case-monster-things really need words to accompany their sheer, ehm... let's put mildly... "weirdness"? I guess they do.


The left one's called "FunSkin Cloudy". Reminds us of Bibendum, the Michelin guy, shortly after having eaten a nano for breakfast. The one on the right probably describes the kind of smoking material these case designers at Speck have been using: "FunSkin Grass". Who doesn't want their nano's elegance to be trampled by a green hedgehog-like protective cover, right?

It personally reminds me of a thing from my childhood, called "Nopper". Few of you will recognize this, but here's a hint: CLICK. Yet they charge some 35 bucks for these things.

Oh and there are many more cases to choose from - some even look slightly normal. Take a look at our source's collage.

Anyone who'd pay $35 to make a nice looking player look retarded...is retarded.

Hey wait - that kinda makes sense.
