Introduction

Have you ever perused through the Apple iPod section within the Apple Online Store? (that's right - window shopping online!) There are an incredible number of accessories for the Apple iPod today - ranging from car adapters to FM transmitters to voice recorders. While looking through the online store, we came across a new brand that caught our eye called Incase Designs. This relatively small company is based out of the Los Angeles region and has been in the business of designing and manufacturing cases since 1997. The cases include products for MP3 players, digital cameras, phones and musical instruments. Incase Designs was nice enough to send us some sample products to review. Today we'll start by taking a look at the Leather Sleeve for the Apple iPod. This case fits a number of iPod models - ranging from the 10GB to the 40GB model. About the only iPod it doesn't fit well for is the iPod mini (but there is a case available for the mini!). Join us today as we review the Incase iPod Leather Sleeve.

Packaging

Here's the box that Incase shipped the cases in just for your viewing pleasure only...

Here are pictures of the packaging for the iPod Leather Sleeve.

Once you open up the box, you'll find the case and some marketing materials inside.

It's nice to see a company pay attention to presentation details even though the product itself is rather inexpensive. Everything from the exterior packaging designs to the contents inside look top notch in terms of creative design.
