Here's something you don't see every day: a suede-lined iPod case made of Napa leather that enables hands-free viewing without a standard kickstand. You know, the ones that usually add a fair amount of chunkiness to the otherwise uber-thin digital audio player.

Instead of one of those bulky stands, the hard-shell Flip Case by Brenthaven features a unique slot on the back to hold 30GB, 60GB, and 80GB Video iPods upright and position them for comfortable and enjoyable viewing of movies and other video clips. Available in brown (with blue lining) or black (with lime lining), the case also features cutouts for easy access to all of the player's ports and controls.
