RetroPod: Hipster Hard Case for iPod
Posted by James Fee in "THOUGHT" @ 12:00 PM
"The god damned hipsters have struck again -- and this time, it's portable. The Retropod is a, uhm, retrofitting of older Sony "Sports Walkmans" that is probably the very least functional case for iPods I've ever seen. All you get is a headphone out, and you have to open up the case to get to the controls. Even the inline remote won't work, because of the way the headphone extender works. But hey, their models are cute and that goes a long way, even if I can smell the reek of Pabst right through the JPEG."
I can't think of anything that was cooler in the late 80's, early 90's than a bright yellow Sony Walkman on your hip. Sure an iPod is cool, but what can be cooler than an iPod in a Sports Walkman?
Ah, maybe not, but I do have a broken yellow Sports Walkman I'm going to pull apart tonight... :silly:
