Italian fashion house Prada has introduced a new designer iPod mini case. The case is crafted from Saffiano leather and features a black fabric strap that appears it could be used as a lanyard or shoulder strap. It comes in black, bronze, and orange with gold plated hardware.
The Prada iPod mini case sells for $215, but the premium price tag is apparently not alienating shoppers. Saks notes: “Due to high demand, a customer may order no more than three units of these items every thirty days.”

Hmm, maybe I should buy a gold coloured Ferrari to match the case.

Well, now we have Prada and Burberry. When will Gucci, Chanel, and Hermes jump on the iPod bandwagon?
