Designer iPod cases made from cassette tapes updated to fit new

Contexture Design has refreshed its line of iPod accessories with the
release of their latest cases made from reclaimed audiocassettes.
Originally launched in 2007 to fit first and second-generation nanos,
the cases known as 45 nano have been updated to fit the fourth
generation iPod nano.

45 nano follows Contexture’s sold-out limited-edition iPod cases know
as 45, named after the typical playing speed of the seven-inch
records from which they were custom-made. One side of the
cassette-cases has been hollowed out to fit fourth generation iPod
nanos, shielded by a clear plastic window that includes openings for
access to the music player’s controls, headphone jack and charging
dock.

The cases’ flipside has been retained and looks like a “vintage”
cassette. For added cushioning, the cassette-cases include foam
padding and come enclosed in their original, clear plastic cases.
According to Contexture’s philosophy of using recycled and repurposed
materials, 45nano — which costs US$45 — has been designed and
constructed sustainably using reclaimed tapes and foam padding, says
Nathan Lee of Contexture.
