Oh, sweet Bacchus. Forget those other iPod Nano watchbands we’ve seen: here’s the only one that matters. Called the “Richard Tracy Nano Watch Strap,” this project — kicked off via Kickstarter, only to ignominiously fail to raise its funding,– is not only one of the first Nano watch bands to have a high quality leather strap, as opposed to some plastic nonsense… the frame even contains a built-in beer opener, perfect for helping to remove the childproof cap from some brews, thus medicating your delirium tremens.
Like we said, this failed to get a following over at Kickstarter, so you can’t actually buy it. Maybe spreading the word, however belatedly, will inspire them to give it another go.
ACHTUNG: Creator Jason Hilbourne says that these are, indeed, for sale… just at Think Geek. Only $49.99!
