Now This Is An iPod nano Wristband

I try not to rehash the day’s explosive nature of unhinging Gizmodo news, but perhaps you’re still upset over that whole iPhone 4 thing or maybe their recent security breach. But thank heavens someone somewhere has finally unveiled an iPod nano wristband that’s actually decent. I say decent not because those other rubbery straps aren’t nice, but because really - the last thing I want on my wrist is an iPod nano and a synthetic band. At least try to class it up instead of looking like you bought something out of a slot machine.

I’ll probably catch a lot of flak for my anti-Nano-watch sentiments, but if I was going to dorkishly wear the darned thing, I could see myself in this. Granted it still doesn’t look as classy as I’d like to see (in which case I’d wear, you know, a real watch), but the leather band is tantalizing enough to wet my taste-buds. At least with this boy band it looks like your wearing an actual watch instead of faking it, and I especially like that it’s super easy to clip your iPod nano on and off (it’d look good alone as a bracelet too I’d think).

For 3,570 Yen (About $40 - $45 USD) you can grab yourself a black or tan leather wristband that shows off you’re a real man and not teenage yuppie. If you think it’s cool but don’t have the iPod nano to go with it, check our latest giveaway for a chance to win one of your very own.
