It’s Not the iPod I Like, it’s the Case
Everyone and their mother seems to have at least one iPod. I admit, between my fiance and I we have 4 iPod’s. There cool, hip, with it. I dig the wheel, the screen, the clicking, the earbuds. It’s all great, but it isn’t the part of the iPod that I’ve been hooked on for the past 3 months.
It’s the case!
I know, call me wierd, call me nerdy, but the newest case for the iPod nano is sweet. They finally did away with the huge box that the iPod’s used to come in and have gone to a sleek plastic see through case. Which one has less of an environmental impact I’m not sure. The cardboard box was large but I do know that creating plastic beads, melting plastic beads, and molding plastic beads takes a lot of energy (oil).
But that’s not what I’m here to talk about. The case is pretty, but it’s the iPod nano holder that I think is sweet. This thing…
Sorry for the images, our camera had a rough new years and we’re in the process of upgrading. But this is the invention that has stuck in my mind. The plastic holder cups the iPod nano at the ends like so….
This is the coolest part. To remove it, you don’t need to use a scissors, or a knife, or teeth, or anything like that. All you have to do is place your thumb on one end, your middle finger on the other and press with your pointer finger on the middle. It bends and it’ll pop out!
Isn’t that cool! It has stuck with me for the longest time and I had to spread the love about it.
