Gucci unveils designer iPod carry case
Tuesday, April 20, 2004 @ 11:30am

Gucci has introduced its own designer iPod carrying case, according to PC World: "Available online through Gucci's U.S. store, the iPod case is available in multiple colors and costs almost as much as an IPod--$195. The case is available in this season's Gucci colors--beige/ebony GG plus with dark brown leather trim, green/red/green web carrying handle, and silver hardware. '[Apple] has over 100 percent connect rate of cases to IPods. This means everybody buys at least one and many buy more than one.'"

    RIPE Guy Revealed! 145510
    This article exposes the identity of the RIPE guy. Check out the 5th paragraph, right under "supply and demand". Should have guessed it was a PCWorld writer.

    I don't have a case 145518
    The whole idea that 100% of iPod owners have a case is only true if you count that slipcover that Apple ships along with the iPod.

    I never use it, and I've never bought another case. Of course, the 'Pod is scratched up something fierce, but at this point there's no fixing it. Guess if it ever gets to the point where I can't read the display I'll just have to buy a new one, eh? 8^)
