Gotta Buy: A TuneBuckle

I have a startling confession to make: I don’t own an iPod. I’ve gotten used to people either gasping or jeering at my low-techness. My tune may be changing soon, so to speak, thanks to fashion-forward designers making super-cute bags and jeans with iPod pockets. The latest is the TuneBuckle, a belt that turns your Nano into a buckle. Your iPod is protected in an aluminum casing, sits right at your hip for easy music changes and — bonus — your pants stay up! Fashion has never been so sensible. It comes in three different styles, starting at $60. Go to tunebuckle.com for more info. — Joyce Huang

oh,that just looks stupid! first, the ipod socks,then the buckle…what’s next?? ipods for breakfast?!?

interesting idea, but i think it’s quite stupid…who would hold their pants up with their ipod? wear it around your arm with an arm band if you work out and use those handy pockets that pants have these days to put your ipod in…or a purse…or even, what an idea, just hold it! this invention is purely useless, but i see ppl buying into it because sometimes useless things sell…

What is this world coming to? Are we now so lazy that we have lost the ability to carry a teeny, tiny IPOD? I usually don’t wear a belt to work out. Who would buy this? I’m sure there has to be a market for it but it has me stumped.

SHE IS DEFINITELY NOT A BRUNETTE.
SHE SHOULD STAY BLONDE. BUT LIKE ALL WOMEN, WE NEED CHANGE ONCE IN A WHILE. I’M SURE THAT IS JUST TEMPORARY.

The best idea ever. Who wants their iPod in their pocket so it can get scrathed up by their keys? Not me. For all those people who think this is stupid, welcome to the future.
