Austrian designers release new iPod sleeves
Two Austrian designers who work for the Working Class Heroes fashion label have unveiled a new sleeve designed to protect the iPod touch.
Created using wool felt and aniline leather, the cases also feature a band which allows people to store their earphones and a cardholder which means people don't need to carry their wallet around when listening to tunes on the move.
According to Refinery 29.com, the new protective sleeves retail for around $50 (£25).
Speaking to the website, Working Class Heroes founder James Teal said that the new designs were "worlds away from the plastic and neoprene offerings typically found in the market".
He added: "We were inspired by the past, when handcrafted items were almost an everyday commodity."
The launch of the designer cases has come after iFrogz also released a new sleeve for the iPod nano which features an in-built speaker.
Available in a variety of colours, the cases retail in the US for $25 (£13).
