What People Say.

I really like how the TINBOTs are unlike anything else on the market. Every other case seems to focus on functionality over looks, but this product really brings the graphic design element to the forefront.
-Kobayashi

5We’ve got way too many cases, socks and pouches for our gadgets, but of all the ones we have, the TINBOT is one of the bests.
-Dork Magazine

Tins are great. I think that’s an opinion held by every right thinking person the world over. Tins and stationery. And cake. Cake’s good.
-Shiny Shiny

I have been looking for something like this. Not to wear on the belt, but when I pack the iPod for traveling.
-Guest, iPod

Observer Finally a case that is limited edition and does not cost a fortune.
-Lorain Applebaum


Press Release

We are pleased to introduce the TINBOT, a new generation of iPod cases. Designed to add some flavor while protecting your favorite gadget, the TINBOT features original designs from world-renowned trendsetters in contemporary art.

The iPod is a musical reflection of the person who owns it and therefore immensely personal. Why not give it an aesthetic identity to match…and protect it at the same time? Art director Julian Bassermann and photographer/filmmaker Jason Lewis began a collaboration with several of their favorite artists hoping to offer those seeking something different a chance to stand out. And from this the very first TINBOT was born.

With the debut collection, Julian and Jason launched a truly unique and artistic alternative to a crop of functional yet uninspiring iPod cases. Our first TINBOT, featuring illustrations by Kurt Ketchum, found its niche worldwide with its visual representation of music, travel, and
urban culture.

Now with a slimmer, sexier design, we are ready to introduce our new artists to the TINBOT line. TINBOT cases are constructed of high quality impact-resistant tin and come equipped with headphone and charging ports. The interior is lined with neoprene padding to cushion the iPod in case of scrapes, bangs, drops, grinds, slashes or any other wear and tear that daily life dishes out.

The TINBOT supports:  30GB, 60GB, 80GB iPod Video;  80GB,160GB iPod Classic
MSRP: $29.95
