I couldn't help but put these cases in a totally geeky or geek chic [0] poll because I couldn't decide if they were trendy or tacky! Here's some background info to help you make up your mind. These leather cases, which I spotted on Chip Chick [1], are specially designed for the iPod Shuffle [1] (2nd gen of course), and include a lanyard and cable spool for storing your excess headphone cables. Priced at $40 each, Orbino [2] has created several other colors including black, silver and red — the black probably being the least invasive! What do you think? Leave your comments below!
