New wooden cases and speakers for the iPod

Tokyo-based Marubeni Infotec [JP] sells two new stylish accessories for the iPod classic/nano/Touch.

At the beginning of next month, the so-called “Alle STACK for iPod” speakers (1Wx2) will be rolled out for prices between $93 (for the iPod nano) and $102 (for the iPod classic). Marubeni promises high sound quality because they used precious wood to manufacture the speakers (American Walnut and Scandinavian Birch).


Since the beginning of June, Marubeni is offering iPod cases made of Kiori Tennage (wood veneer sheets) for the Japanese market. Prices vary between $65 and $93. The cases are available for the iPod classic/nano/Touch.
