As people might now, I have an iPod, and I love it to bits. It goes everywhere with me, it carries all my music, etcetera.

Of course, since I don't want it to get scratched all to hell, I also got a case for it. Plain black belt clip case, you know the type. It's plain but functional (even though it's a bit of a pain to have to drag my iPod out of it every time I want to see what's playing or get at the controls), and I like it.

While I've been looking around the internet at different iPod cases and going "oo, pretty!" "oo, nice!", and sometimes considered getting one (hello, iSkin), my reaction's never been "damn that's gorgeous, I waaaaaaant". Until now that is.

Maybe it is because I'm fond of Japan and of kimono patterns, I don't know. But the kimono case (ipodlounge review)? Damn that's gorgeous.

If I end up getting an alternate case for my iPod, it's probably still going to be the iSkin, if only because of the price... but still. Damn. I waaaaant.
