Magpie iPod Outfit by Ami Kealoha
Anyone who's spent any time South of the border has seen the color-splashed oilcloths that Austin-based designer Maggie Stephens uses to make her Magpie iPod Nano "outfits". Stephens, a marathon runner, came up with the design after she couldn't find a functional yet still good-looking way to carry her Nano when training. Already the owner of Magpie, a successful accessories business, Stephens designed the reinforced vinyl case herself and included a detachable keychain, belt clip (unfortunately not removable), and open headphone port. Available in six different floral patterns for $25 from Magpie Outfits.
