Have you ever seen a hipster? …then you’ve seen this already. …and doesn’t Apple already sell iPod Socks?

…and synthetic fibers (generally made of petrolium products) are much harder to keep clean than natural.

I’ve often wondered why people are so obsessed with iPod cases. I have an iPod, I love it, but I never fretted about it getting a few scratches. Any tiny electronic device that you intend to carry around with you everywhere is bound to get scratched up, so just deal with it *shrugs*

Agreed.^

I learned to knit by making an iPod case exactly like this one. (Well, sized to fit my iPod.)

I have never used it. :/

This attitude vary a lot among countries.
In Asia, the electronic goods are obsessively protected from scratches.
People here (in China) never remove the plastic film that protects the product when you by it.
(i.e. a remote control)

Wow, kromosoma, that sounds like a terrible time. Makes me think of people who keep their sofa wrapped in plastic so they won’t ruin the fabric.

In my (often not so) humble opinion, you have to tear off the protective coating and enjoy it as it is. If it gets scratched, it’s a poorly considered design, as with the iPod. …unless you intend to make a market of accessories, as with the iPod.

Anyway, as I see it, it’s better to enjoy the shiny for a while until it gets scratched than to have a gadget covered in plastic film.
