NYC Peach: Add some sparkle to your iPod

d201_ipodShuffle_custom_cry.jpg
I was walking around the mall yesterday at lunchtime, a practice I try not to do very often (walking that is, the mall is fine), and they had a Swarovski Crystal store there. I don't know if it was lack of sleep, or the allergy medication, but the luminous rays of reflected halogen light glowing into the walkway was like a thousand beautiful angels welcoming me into the promised kingdom. I just wanted to walk into the store and put all of the polychromatic, sparkling crystals into my mouth. God it was wonderful.

Okay, with my unhealthy reaction to things sparkly maybe I shouldn't get my iPod covered with crystals, but don't let stop you. A company called NYC Peach can cover your personal tech accessories, including all varieties of the iPod, with crystals. You can choose from a dizzying, or should I say blinding, array of patterns and colors. Prices are not cheap (hey, sparkly doesn't come cheap) at $350 for a regular iPod, $300 for the mini, and $250 for the shuffle and that does not include the iPod.
