TINBOT hard cases

Kollective.de has introduced an updated version of its TINBOT iPod cases. As the name implies, they are made of impact-resistant tin, but they are also lined internally with neoprene, preventing scraping and offering extra protection against outside forces. The updated cases have been slimmed down, but focus primarily on offering new art choices from illustrators such as Christopher Lee, Jeremy Madl and Kurt Ketchum. Additionally, people can buy a matte-white TINBOT if they want to add their own decoration.

This consists mostly of video snippets for teachers, such as clips on topics like solar eclipses and nanotechnology, but also full-length documentaries, and lesson plans for shows like Ken Burns' The War.
