Tom Dudderidge, managing director, Disruptive Technology Channels, commented: ““The LeatherJacket is one of many new exciting products to be launched within the next few weeks from GEAR4. With all the recent press attention that iPod’s have received lately about scratches, the launch of the LeatherJacket couldn’t come at a better time. This now means that iPod’s can be kept in pristine condition whilst still looking great.
