The RetroPod
Ok, we'll admit to sweating this girl's RetroPod, which takes a banarama-yellow Eighties Sports Walkman and turns it into an iPod case. In homage, users must play Ratt at all times while in use. The cases look pretty heavy and unmanageable (how did we ever carry those things around), though they mind a more practical use as a mugger-deterent. But seriously, ironic hipster-wearers beware, just step outside of your cooler-than-thou neighborhood and the joke of camouflaging 250-dollar equipment inside a 10-dollar Walkman loses some of its appeal when you realize that that lady on the subway is still using her Sports Walkman most unironically.
