hahaha yea. People need to stop making cases for ipods since there are about a billion out there and they all function the same. The stand device on this one is pretty neat although its probably useless. Also, the cost of cases these dayes are too MUCH.

All PU/fake leathers are not created equal! And the description says both Italian PU and “full grain leather”. So I doubt this is your everyday run of the mill fake leather case. I have seen some makers out there claiming leather that the quality was aweful on. Besides the stand function on this case looks really cool and with the Lexan hard plastic screen protector this product seems much better than the Belkin kickstand case or other similar stand cases for the video.

Yeah, but just about every case with a flap can be used as a stand. I’ve got one where I just fold the flap over and snap it in place, works just the same.
