iWood Red aimed at U2 iPod
Proud owners of the specialised U2 edition of the iPod can now protect their pride and joy in a luxurious wooden case from Miniot.
Miniot has been producing iWoods for some time, but the iWood Red, made from padouk wood which gives it a distinctly crimson sheen, is perhaps their classiest looking production to date.
Though it is directed at the U2 edition of the iPod , obviously the iWood Red can be used with any style iPod and like the iWoods, comes with a customised monogram of the customer's choice and two lines of text.
Both the headphone dock and dock connector are accessible through ports in the case and almost invisible hinges work with an ingenious magnetised locking system.
Retailing for about £40, the iWood Red is available online.
Padouk wood is from the Pterocarpus indicus family of trees, native to South East Asia, which are identifiable from their reddish wood and elevated crowns.
Miniot also makes cases for the iPod nano and iPod 5G.
