Who said iPod cases have to be serious?  Yes, there is a time and a place for premium quality leather and ultra-protective titanium, but whatever happened to good old fun?

That is what Pixelgirl is offering with its new novelty iPod mini Monster cases. Described by the manufacturers “cute and fuzzy”, these loveable beasts have an opening for the Click Wheel and a translucent vinyl screen protector on the front.

Available in pink and green, both models feature a top Velcro closure with a hole for the earphone cord, as well as “pointy vinyl teeth” – a useless but welcome add-on!

The iPod mini Monster cases are currently available online and are sure to be a big hit with all kids – big and small!
