iPod Cases from Old 45's
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 02. 6.07
What could be more evocative of the nature of change than this- forming iPod protective cases out of old 45 rpm records with cork liners and recycled felt padding. "Old media protects new media - digital meets analog." Alice Cooper's I got a line on you is shown; you order them by title. They have protective plexiglas windows and are custom fit to your particular iPod model. A wide choice of music, from the Beatles Revolution (particularly appropriate) back through Donny Osmond, Barry Gibb singing Grease and Rogers and Hammerstein from Oklahoma. Probably the protection is second rate ("45 iPod cases are made from old records that are durable but not indestructible - don't sit on your 45 iPod case!") but the concept isn't. ::iPod Cases via ::Haute Nature

You know, that was a spendy little case ($60 w/ shipping) but SO HOT. I'm looking forward to it's arrival.
