If my boyfriend hadn't been the one to send this to me, I swear I would have to buy this for him for his birthday. Yes, that would be the iPod Nano case designed to look like raw meat. And what marbled, fatty meat it is.

Unfortunately, from this link, it appears as though the company selling this case is not based in America (according to this blog post, it's Japanese), but you can read more about it here on Apple Gazette. I think the best part about it is the case, which totally completes the meat look. Who wants this?
