Iomega's Leather Bound Hard Drive Resembles Hip Flask

This is Iomega’s new leather covered eGo hard drive, which we presume is designed to add some class to your bus-powered storage activities.

ego_leather_hdd.jpg This is Iomega's new leather covered eGo hard drive, which we presume is designed to add some class to your bus-powered storage activities. With its resemblance to a hip flask, however, we think it more likely that you'll end up looking like a closet, whisky-sipping alcoholic. Indeed, the antics suggested by Iomega's press release seem to encourage such drink drive behaviour:

[It] stands out as the crème de la crème of portable storage devices whether on the road, strutting the proverbial "cat walk," or displaying panache in the boardroom.

If you do indeed end up using both together, Iomega has you covered: the eGo's are all designed to protect against booze induced drops of up to 51 inches.

The 250 GB drive will cost $150, which puts it at the same price as the other eGo's in the range. Of course, with that money you could also buy 1/41 of a bottle of Bowmore Black.
