Protect Your iPod nano with Recycled Cassette Tapes

If you secretly preferred cassette tapes to vinyl (but have made the jump to digital music via the trusty iPod), then this lil' gadget is for you. Brought to you by the same folks who dreamed up the iPod cases from old 45s, these create similar utility for old cassettes; if you aren't still listening to them, you might as well use 'em for something, right?
They're built to fit 1st and 2nd generation iPod nanos (and are working on updating to the new, wider 3rd generation version) -- sorry, iPod Classic owners; you'll have to stick with the vinyl cases, for now. If protecting your music with old music media doesn't really do it for you, check out our picks for other iPod accessories. ::Contexture via ::45 iPod Cases

What kind of idiot would like a cassette over vinyl? I guess it was a joke.
Cassettes are portable, so copy your records to Cassette for the car.
Records? Cassettes? What are these things you speak of?
Just kidding. This is a super-cool design. Can the cassette be tucked into a cassette case and still be listened to? Definitely lowers theft risk. I wonder if the iPod classic and touch would tuck into an 8-track?
