Vinyl record iPod cases

Contexture Design today began offering consumers the ability to order custom iPod cases using a vinyl record of choice. The company unveiled vinyl iPod cases in January but restricted its available models to several specific records. Now customers can simply mail a seven-inch record to the company and specify the model of iPod to be covered; only full-sized clickwheel iPods are currently supported, but the company said it expects to build cases for Apple's iPod nano players in the future. Finished cases feature felt padding, a cork lining, and a clear plexiglass window to view the portable media player's LCD. The axle hole is positioned over the clickwheel, so the record must have a large enough gap to make the wheel accessible. Custom 45 cases are priced at $45, plus the cost of shipping vinyl to Contexture.
