Continuing the trend of giving electronic devices an eco-friendly makeover, Imoeba World launched earlier this year to bring consumers the newest, greatest accessory for their beloved iPods: cases made from recycled leather.
The Alpine cases are made from bonded leather, a manmade material that is constructed from real leather scraps that would end up in a landfill if another purpose was not found for them. They may be made from a manmade material, but they look and feel like the real deal. The Alpine cases live up to their earth-friendly name by coming in a lovely shade of green. You can choose whether you want a green cover with white trim or vice versa, but the color scheme speaks for itself. The cases are made for the classic iPod and for the third-generation iPod Nano.
Imoeba World is determined to spread environmental awareness not only through their iPod cases, but in the way they conduct business. All of their packaging comes from recycled paper instead of plastic and some of the proceeds from sales are donated to Earth 911.
Imoebe Alpine cases can be purchased online at bestbuy.com and also at select retailers in North America. Hit the jump to get your and to learn more about what Imoeba is doing to add some green to the face of technology.
