Fun With 45s
It's chic, it's green, and it's surprisingly expensive. You can now get IPod cases, custom-made to fit whichever type of IPod you own, made out of reclaimed 45 singles.
(45s are those funny little vinyl things that looked sort of like black CDs that old people used to listen to music on. You had to put them on a turntable and scratch them with a needle to play them, and they only held two songs. It was all very strange. Ask your parents about it.)
There are some extra materials thrown in - like a plexiglass window for the IPod screen - but they're mostly made out of old vinyl and your memories. They're also $45 a pop. If you've got that kind of scratch laying around, see 45ipodcases.com for more details.
