Photographer Ari Marcopoulos designed a sleek camera bag for inCase with enough space for an SLR, a film rangefinder (a Leica, of course), a pocket camera, an iPad and the various bits a traveling photographer might need on a day of shooting or a traveller might want while on holiday.

What a wonderful little creation! It’s a portable speaker for iPod, iPhone or other portable device that fits on your keychain. I don’t read Japanese so I don’t know any details, but it sure looks like a great gift! (via bird.electron.co.jp)
