iPod nano cassette tape case

Though it will add bulk to your iPod nano (4th generation), the 45 Nano case scores points for its retro style. Made from gutted cassette tapes, it will contain your MP3 player without blocking access to the scroll wheel and connector. Held at certain angles, it appears as if you have plugged your headphones into a cassette tape.

This product doesn't come cheap at about US$48. On the bright side, the company ships internationally for less than US$4 from Canada. For those wondering about the tapes, the company says they are "handpicked from bargain bins and thrift stores", so it's almost like you are doing your bit for recycling by buying one.

We wonder which were the unfortunate cassettes to meet their end in this manner â then again, it is a good way to recycle your older (and unwanted) cassettes.
