iStyles has launched its 2007 collection of iPod sleeves that feature more exotic materials and a multi-purpose slit pocket. Each sleeve is available in limited quantities and is homemade using specially selected materials on the outside, while sleeve insides are covered with micro-fiber cloth which protets as well as polishes and cleans iPods stored within. The slit pocket is multi-functional to hold earphones or other small objects, and iStyles assures customers that no animals are harmed in the creation of its Sleeves -- all materials are synthetic. iStyles sleeves are priced at $10.
