As you search the internet for something unique for your MP3 player you find yourself drowning in a sea of iPod cases made in China. You find only the same ol' designs and colors, packaged and re-packaged with different names that attempt to conjur up a hip vision. The most common iPod cases are made of silicone and protect your iPod from dirt, but are they stylish? Made in China has become an all too common catch phrase that accurately describes millions of products. Stores are being flooded by products made in China, but are they well-made? Do they stand out? Are they unique? Are they fun? Besides silicone, other common materials include plastic, leather, PVC. But what about natural hemp (an organic sustainable non-petroleum material)? What about faux fur? What about something truly different?

I became particularly interested in seeking out anything that could be considered unusual, different, unique when it comes to iPod cases. Afterall, Apple's trademarked slogan is "Think Different". Yet do we, iPod enthusiasts, actually think different? I attend Mac World every year and I am always struck by the sameness displayed in the countless booths and tables with regard to iPod Cases. Table after table of the same old things. So I went home and did a search for "custom iPod Cases" and came up sorely lacking in anything remotely "different", or not made in China.

As you begin your search for that special iPod case, you might search eBay, or the internet, for "custom ipod cases". Most sleeve styles do not feature a window to view the screen which I don't feel is a drawback considering the fragile nature of iPod screens, a soft protective cover is a good thing. I am happy to report that after much searching I found a few truly different iPod cases.

Here are some examples of custom cases I've found that are worthy of your attention and consideration:
