Gotta protect your goods!

As someone who suffered all too much at the fateful demise of her once loved ipod, I'm here to ask you all to please treat your ipods well, cover them aptly with covers like this adorable one from RandL, and for God's sake, buy the Applecare protection plan.  Believe me, just buy it.  Anyway, so as not to delve into my own ipod loss depression (a hardware malfunction?  how could it just up and malfunction?! no i don't have Applecare. there's nothing you can do!? NOTHING?!?!) ahem...um, let's focus on the utter cuteness of this ipod nano case, made by one of Seattle's finest, Chika Eustace. 

It has a clear cover on one side for easy click wheel access, and a hole at the bottom corner to feed a USB cable and earphones!  Find this particular one at Copacetique, and check out Chicka's site for a list of all the great stores that carry her other RandL goodies.  And please, learn from my technology mistakes so you don't have to suffer the look of that little sad ipod icon frowning, oh, the horror...
