THE FUTURE - a musical to believe in - DIESEL Good Lookin
Pad it

The other day I was on the Tube and I saw a woman carrying her Mini iPod in a sock.

Nothing unusual about that you might think, except this wasn't one of those specially-knitted Apple socks that come in lots of nice, bright colours. Oh no, this was some off-white sports sock that looked like it had just been picked off the top of the laundry basket.

Each case comes in over 30 different colour variations, so if 'Rosa Pink' is just not ostentatious enough for your iPod's leather jacket, try 'Pink Carnation' (ouch).

They may not be cheap, but if the alternative is a sports sock or a scratched laptop maybe you should go ahead and treat yourself.
