This series of colored fabric iPod cases ranges from glossy to matte, each including a nice metal and plastic lanyard, a non-detachable belt clip, and a D-ring for attachment to clips or the lanyard.



iPod mini

This white leather PDA-style case for the iPod mini flips open to reveal your mini hanging upside down - intended for use with the non-detachable rear belt clip.


MCA iPod mini Skin - Click Here for Details
This inexpensive transparent plastic skin for the iPod mini fits snugly, and includes a metallic and plastic necklace. Insertion and removal of the mini is quite easy, too. There’s also a version of this case for full-sized iPods, with an integrated belt clip.


iPod shuffle

This white leather sleeve for the iPod shuffle includes three different detachable lanyards and a transparent length adjustment bulb. While not as protective as many shuffle cases we’ve seen, it looks really nice in person.
