Dior iPod case

An Anonymous Coward writes "How cool is the iPod? Cool enough that Christian Dior is selling an iPod case. It was designed by Dior Homme's Hedi Slimane, because he didn't know where to store his own iPod. It's black leather."

I bought one for my sister

[d0n quix0te]

I got one for my sister when I was in Paris. Trés bien. Most guys will not appreciate it but women love this stuff..

BTW, if you are at Collette, they have some super cool laptop briefcases for the titanium one made by Alfred Dunhill and another by Ermenegildo Zegna. This will set you back by $1500-2000 (the price of an iBook), but IMHO it is well worth it in certain upper echelons. Some of us geeks are Consuls :-)

My Pod Protector looks like crap

And I don't think it's an exception. The case is very tight width wise. So tight, in fact, I can't get the thing off. The seams are on the corner of the case which is poor design because the case can't be aligned properly - when something as bulky as a seam is attempted to be lined up with the exact corner of an item (inside of tight quarters) it's bound to fall to one side or the other. So the case is rotated around the vertical axis, like if your underwear was rotated around you. Doesn't look good. It also is too tall ("baggy at the bottom") and it leaves little black pieces of fiber (leather, I'd think) on the open part of it which make the white face of the iPod look dirty. In fact, the black leather of it doesn't very classy at all - I'm sure it's real leather but it isn't particularly supple, and the stitching done on it puts see-through holes in it, magnified by the whiteness of the iPod underneath. It's the only case I've seen so far that leaves the jog wheel open for use with the case closed, which is a great feature, but mine is really a pretty shittily-made product. I had problems with the only other accessory item I bought from OWC but their memory was cheap and works fine, AKAICT. I'd stay away from them for any consumer accessory that carries their name on it but I'd definitely buy hardware upgrades from them and possibly one of those spiffy laptop cases.

[I have nutsack]

If I wanted to read about tech fashion accessories that are overpriced, I'd read Wired.

That's quite a shame, dear chap. Perhaps you would be interested in Christian Dior's line of designer nut transportation satchels ("nutsacks" for the layman) They come in premium grade leather, and have the Christian Dior logo monogrammed in the textured surface. I was completely stunned when I first witnessed my executive assistant, Hans, trolloping down the street sporting his. I'd never seen such a fabulous nutsack. Anyone who is anyone transports their nuts in style with this high-fashion accessory.

They're also manufactured right here in America. As we all know, the nut transportation satchel industry welcomes all the help it can get.
