Here’s something bright to cheer you up on this gloomy Friday afternoon – nostalgic Crayola iPod Touch cases modelled on the crayons of our youth. Yay! And unlike the real thing, they won’t snap in half if you so much as look at them/get stuck up your nose/leave your hands smelling weird because the wrapper bit falls off. As you can tell, I had some traumatic colouring-in sessions as a child. But anyway…

Sorry, perhaps I should have warned you to put your sunglasses on first. Dazzling aren’t they? There’ll be no chance of losing your iPod at the bottom of your bag if it’s wearing one of these babies!

The slim fit polycarbonate shell snaps around your gadget to protect and decorate, but only adds 0.2mm to the overall thickness. The cases come in (from left to right) Blue Berry, Caribbean Green, Radical Red, Purple Pizazz and Cotton Candy, and will be available from Apple stores this month, priced at £24.99 each. I say they’re definitely worth considering if your iPod’s looking a bit chilly.
