American accessory manufacturer AB Sutton has confirmed the pending release of its indulgent silk-lined, kidskin leather iPod shuffle case.

The novelty accessories represent a clear beeline aimed at the top of the consumer spending bracket but could have a much wider receptive audience when released in the UK later this year.

Handmade and individually numbered, the unique cases are available in over 30 colours and include a clear plastic screen that protects the control buttons.

The cases all allow easy access to the headphone jack and slider switch and feature an adjustable snap closure that allows for use with or without the Apple lanyard attachment.

Priced at just under £25, AB Sutton’s new iPod case is not exactly on the inexpensive side but individuality comes at a price and that is exactly what this accessory provides.
