Cool Hunting

Shalgo is the kind of company that not only makes inventive, well-designed and sharp-looking wallets and iPod cases from duct tape, but applies that same winning combo to other projects, like their free downloadable animations for your iPod called Podflips (pictured) and a "Shalgomobile," a 1972 Volkswagen Squareback ($9,240) covered with 5,000 pieces of duct tape saved from the making of Shalgo's iPod cases. The cases themselves are everything you'd expect from such a fun-loving company: bright colors, eye-catching, target-like designs, clear plastic windows to protect screens, the right holes for cords, and a touch wheel that works even through the case. And starting at $16, you can start saving up for the Shalgomobile.
