There's a new Swarovski-encrusting, gold-plating organization on the rise, going by the name of Gilty Couture. It's got a wide range of precious metal hard-cases from $55 to $200, with crystals "evoking the Gilded Age of the late 1800s." However, one enclosure in particular evokes something else: it gives the newest "fat" iPod nano a Swarovski trim that makes look an awful lot like a first-gen Zune. My guess is that this was unintentional, but hey, if you're one of those fence-ridin' types, this might be your ideal stocking stuffer, in gold or silver. [Gilty Couture]

ugly, jesus, 1800 indeed. lol, golden zune looks much better. :)
Gah, every time I see that somebody's covered something else in gold and diamonds, I start to curse humanity as a whole.
Yes, you're filthy stinking rich. I get it. Go do something useful with your money.
And worse, this one's for the faux-rich, as evidenced by the "crystals" instead of diamonds. All the sick gaudiness of a real rich person, none of the actually having earned anything.
Don't ape the rich; eat the rich.
why anyone would think that turning an ipod into grandma earings is a good idea is beyond me.
It would be the only way I could get Grandma to use a Nano-- or iPhone. I noticed that the crystals are optional. In fact you can see examples sans the sparklers at www.giltycouture.com (browse the "collections").
