Looks classy Josh. One word of advice though. Make sure they put the IPOD in with the back facing forward. Pushing the snap shut could do damage to the touch screen.

Not that I like I pods, but the case is very cool looking.

What did you use to finish it, it's extremely shiny looking?

The fellow wanted a mirror look

So I did three coats of saddle lac and sanded with 800 grit in between 2-3 coats.

Would a magnetic clasp work instead of a snap? I am thinking of using magnets for future cell phone cases instead of snaps/velcro.

Nice work too!

I have used magnets in the past those thin ones are great but I showed him the magnets and he said snap and I said yes master LOL.

Thanks all for the input and kind words

It depends on the type of iPod. I wouldn't want to use a magnet with an iPod classic, as it has a traditional hard drive memory. iPod touch, nano, and iPhone all have solid state memory and would be unaffected by magnets.

Looks great Josh! Keep up the good work!

The only advise for sewing by hand, pull each stitch snug and take it slow. If you rush, you will find yourself jerking the thread and either warping the leather some or breaking the thread.

I use wax thread from Tandy for all my cases and it works well.

Yikes! I forgot about the memory type. Thanks for the knock on the noggin!

minor point, virtually all screens (little video screens, etc), are affected and tweaked by localized magnetic fields.

Having one sitting right in front of the screen of the I-Pod could cause a rainbow distortion effect over the screen, centering on the magnetic field source. My older I-Pod has a slight one caused by the internal harddrive. It is usually temporary . . .

The case is quite gorgeous!
