New walnut iPod Nano case?

I have been playing with my new Grizzly bandsaw this weekend and turned out a new product. Well, almost... I had salvaged a beautiful piece of walnut when visiting my family in my home state of Vermont. It has a wonderful creamy dark chocolate color with a few lighters swirls of milk chocolate in it. After truing an edge with my trusty No. 4 hand plane and slicing off a slab, I got down to work in making it into something.

I came up with a very simple and elegant case for the newest iPod Nano. It currently doesn't have the tell-tale dual inlay stripes in it like my other cases. Frankly, I'm not sure it needs to. I willing to give my readers a chance to sound off and tell me what they think. Just answer the poll question to the right (see related photos below). You can also look forward to a give-away for one of the first iPod Nano cases too!

The walnut works well and with the extra care I gave the finish, it came out silky smooth that makes it quite welcoming in the hand.
