To match the simple design of the new Video iPod comes Power Supports’ beautiful Kimono jacket from Kyoto, Japan. Imagine cotton fabric from a kimono, in red, purple, or blue/green variations, and leather trimmed cut outs for the click wheel and screen. With the top open for easy access for your headphones or earbuds, and a snap closure with matching tasse and the bottom allowing you to easily take out your iPod.

This product easily shows the hand workmanship done in Japan versus so many of the poorer ones in other countries. Power Support is importing these beauties, but not manufacturing them, thus they don’t include a cover for the screen area or click wheel. I wish they did, for I found that dust, and scratches still happened with the Kimono. They said you could maybe use of their add’l ‘film sets’ to cover those parts. The Kimono jacket’s are also made for iPod Nano’s.

I used my Griffin FM transmitter easily, and liked the great feel and touch of the case, fits perfectly in my hands. Whenever I took it places, people marveled at it’s beauty. I think you’ll enjoy it very much. Power Support is a high quality company, and says they will start importing other new products from this Japanese company. Enjoy it!
