Nice... Always love to see a quality item. While I'm not too fond of the tan leather (or the price for that matter), if I had the money I would definitely buy stuff from them. Oh, and if you have a spare moment and don't mind drooling, head over to their site .

Hmm, tan leather, no thanks. There's no denying the quality but the colour and the styling won't be to most blokes taste. As for the price, you get what you pay for.

Yeah I don't know if its just the photography but you can get far less orange tan leather that IMO would look much nicer. To be fair to them though if you look at the website they do a huge range of colours (19 for the iPod nano classic) so you can more or less it as you want. If you prepared to take a hike it price you can also get them with supremly manly racing stripes. I breifley considered one of these for my karma but I'd rather have a scratched up mp3 player and the money. Maybe if the Karma was prettier I might be tempted.

As for a murse, I carry around a little dunlop leather kit bag everywhere I go these days. It's useful for carrying jumpers, umbrellas, lip gloss....I mean soldering irons and metal.

@_DTM2000: check their site - they have some cool stuff. As I said above, I'm not too fond of the tan leather, but their other versions are cool.

It's not the colour in the pics, they are actually that colour.

quailty seems good, but you'd expect it to be for the price - design and colour looks horrible. Not for me.

XD they look bloody awful. I can't see why people would want to walk around with their nice looking gadgets in something like that. Wonder if they make cases for decent MP3 players too...

And don't get me started on wearing your phone on your belt...

I think I'd rather let my stuff get scrathed than be seen with these!

Certainly not to my tastes - especially at those prices too!!

Everyone, next week we're going to expand on this with a special covering feather boas, size 14 stilletos, and which lipstick you can use to match your purse.

Because this is a PURSE.

PURSE.

jeez, Wil.

PURSE. :P
