Love It Or Leave It: Hemp iPod Case?

July 30, 2007

Danny Seo of Simply Green captured this photo of hemp iPod covers at a magazine industry trade show recently. Like most of us, the magazine industry is already prepping for the holiday season and thinking about what items will make it big this year. Could it be that hemp iPod covers will trump designer iPhone cases, or are they a little too green for your liking? Personally, I love the textures and colors and think these would be great, durable cases. What do you think?

There are some better hemp iphone iPod cases ( I guess u would say it is more like a pouch) but it covers your whole ipod for the best protection. Also u can custom design your own in lots of colors. Very reasonably priced at $15.99. I custom designed a rasta one today. Go to www.dontsmokemyhat.com (oh they also make hats). All made in good ol USA

i love this! yay hemp! Love the colors and the natural-ness. very cool. geek chic in fact. i like m m m 's comment. if this was made of wool and looked the same i bet people would like it more. how very odd to be anti eco-friendly. anyway, i love it. i want one.

I don't know, i think it have something,a little bit bohemian. hippy, but maybe not for me.

i'm in the middle. indifferent, i suppose. it looks like it would scratch the i-pod though. i'm with muffin gal as far as lack of screen and click wheel protection go....

If you don't like it you could always smoke it.

I think it's rather cute....I'd probably have one of those for an iPod if I ever had one.

What use is an iPod case if it doesn't have screen or click-wheel protection? It's definately doesn't peak my interest.

I dig it. maybe if people stopped with the labels, it wouldn't seem so "passe". Being enviromentally conscious is still ok, right? Ok since that's settled, its obviously a good idea. I love that its good for the environment, if not a political statement on the varied uses of hemp. The only problem I see is that it will be over-priced (hemp is so super cheap to produce) with people so quick to label it, "(really) hippy" Thanks, essentially I'll have to pay for that statement.
