Pinched from Refinery29:

“Originally intended as a safeguard for gizmo du jour, the iPod, this handsome body-conscious holster slips easily under a jacket, hoodie, or sweater and can accommodate other essential everyday incidentals—cash, cards, a spare key—keeping your pockets empty and your silhouette sleek. And with its dapper design, shaped to sit flush against your side for discreet portage, only the most exhaustive frisking will betray its presence.”

While the product concept is rather interesting, the execution very good and the tangental thinking, clever, one has to ask when a consumer product is just not worth it.

We had already heard stories of people in the UK being the targets of muggings while wearing the ubiquitous white headphones, a sure sign of Apple love in a pocket (and undoubted success of Apple’s design marketing), but something like this seems, well… absurd. If the choice is wearing a ‘concealed holster’ or leaving the iPod at home, we think one should go for the latter.

Anyway, ‘ear-bud’ headphones have been linked to be a good way to get a solid case of tinnitus - wear those retro cans and look the biz!
