We're not sure how practical these iPod Nano cases are, but with their horns and forked tail, we're sure they'll appeal to music fans whose tastes tend toward the diabolic. At least the "high grade" silicone shell undertakes the saintly task of keeping your digital music player unstained and unscratched.

Available in black and red versions, each presented with a plain, stylised skull or gunshot wound graphic, the PodStar Diablo case comes with a neck lanyard ready to dangle the Nano like the proverbial Hanged Man.

Each case comes with a separate stick-on screen protector, applied before your iPod descends into the case.

The Diablo range is available in the US for $26 from PodStar and in the UK from specialist online retailer iWorld for £17 a pop. ®
