As technology evolves, our favorite electronics get smaller. The 4G iPod Nano is one of these small, sleek pieces of gadgetry that’s easy to lose track of. The new iVolution grip from Vaja Cases ensures that it remains tethered to your person by utilizing their new rivet clip system. You can attach your iPod two way: using the GoClip, which hooks into your belt loop, or the Rivet Kingpin Chain that somewhat resembles a wallet chain. Either way is better than it getting scuffed up in your inhospitable pocket.

Vaja Cases, the leading designer and manufacturer of some of the most high-end consumer oriented iPod and cell-phone cases just launched their first shot at a bag– and we’re pleased with the initial press photos. The bag, simply called ‘The Vaja Leather Messenger Bag’ is made from carefully selected Argentinean leather hide– completely hand crafted. The bag features a detachable gadget pocket, key hook, and lightweight padded notebook jacket– available in 15″ wide and 15″ slim, the slim a perfect size for our Macbook Pro! We think it’s a great and natural step forward for an already superb company, congrats guys!

I’ve been a longtime fan of everything Vaja has been up to– their Vaja Choice program is the best luxury custom iPod case solution available, not to mention a beautiful site to match the cases. The folks over at Vaja Cases loved this site so much they hooked me up with a great case to give away to you: my readers. I’ve got an I-Volution case for the iPod 4G, 5G, Mini or Nano in a super-sexy leather design of your choice (dozens to choose from). Need some iPod protection?
