Das Blau, another high-end case maker, has introduced the Versa2 leather case/stand for fifth-generation iPods. This case is very handy for the 5G model because it not only has a belt loop, but it transforms into a desktop stand to view your videos at the perfect angle. The case also has a built-in screen protector, fits both 30GB and 60GB models and The USD60 case is available in several color combinations, including: “Carrottini” (orange leather with green corduroy lining), “Hot Rod” (black leather with red corduroy lining), “Mocha Sky” (dark brown leather with gray lining), “Sherlock” (brown leather with beige pattern lining), and “Testtube” (black leather with striped lining).

One inevitable question is “Why Das Blau?” It means “the blue” in German. They wanted a name that was expansive, ambitious and unique.  The company —just like the blue sky— has endless ideas that will revolutionize our everyday digital lifestyle. Das Blau is all about combining style, quality, and attention to detail with functionality.
