Extreme Limit will begin sales of the "Cordovan Mobile Suit" iPod leather case from mid-March. Cordovan is a fine leather made from the rump of a horse renowned for its combination of beautiful texture and durability. Surely the perfect gift for any non-vegetarian iPod owner?!

Extreme Limit will begin sales of the "Cordovan Mobile Suit" iPod leather case from mid-March. It will be priced at 10,000 yen. The case is suitable for use with 3rd and 4th generation iPods and the iPod Photo.

Cordovan, the case material and also part of the product name, is a fine leather made from the rump of a horse (approx 10% of the total leather available). Called the "King of Leathers", cordovan is renowned for its combination of beautiful texture and durability in comparison to other types of leather. However, due to the labour-intensive nature of its manufacture, it is becoming more difficult to obtain each year.

The "Cordovan Mobile Suit" is made from the finest, carefully selected oil matte cordovan which is complimented by the Italian tannin leather used for the pocket and lining.

Optional accessories available for purchase with the "Cordovan Mobile Suit" include a "Cordovan Neck Strap" (2940 yen) and "Original Leather Wax" (1800 yen).
