Acme Made The iPod Wallet

You should be careful in what way you swing The Wallet about. While the iPod mini version of Acme Made's case uses Apple's clip to grasp it in place, the version for the filled size iPod uses a simple pouch While it affords total access to the iPod's various ports and switches, there's nothing keeping it from sliding right without the top of The Wallet if you grasp it upside down, or, as individual of our testers found it, swing it in your hand a tad vigorously.

Accidents aside (the iPod survived), there's something to be said for fashion as a learning exercise. We'd at no time heard of "Italian Box" leather here at ExtremeiPod before The Wallet showed up for review. That's the name for the satin black material covering the Acme Made iPod Case ($4999 for iPod, $4499 for iPod mini).

After a fair amount of work upon Google, we're still not exactly assured if it's natural or manmade, on the other hand we do know it perceive s good in the hand, and that the bright verdant micro suede that lines The Wallet really amuses folk

If you're not into amusement, The Wallet is available in basic black Italian chest leather, along a range of colors that neatly match an iPod mini, or your outfit. (Acme also proffers perforated leather versions.) The Wallet direct the eyes good standing on its hold and fits all iPod methods except the 60GB iPod photo. deposit it next to the typical iPod case designed for geek with a military webbing fetish, and it direct the eyes terribly sophisticated.

Along with those serviceable looks, The Wallet offers a pouch designed to hold your ID and credit cards along with your favorite audio player and its earbuds. Not your entire collection, mind you, on the other hand a couple of cards and a drivers license fit nicely opposite your iPod, while your earbuds are held snuggle by a loop that reposes between them. Depending on which archetype you buy, The Wallet is held close by Velcro or a magnet.

If you're looking for total protection for your iPod, gaze elsewhere.

This case is about looking serviceable while you listen to melodys on the way to brunch the corner store, or the plane. If you have a beneficial sized pocket it'll slip nicely inside. Otherwise, you can clinch it in your hand: there's no belt clip. In either case, you'll have a fairly sophisticated way of carting your iPod about.

Just watch that you don't accidentally fling your iPod onto the highway
