iPod Socks, a cloth accessory that Apple has sold for years to protect its portable music players, have been removed from the company's online store.
A reader alerted AppleInsider to the disappearance of the product on Wednesday. It's unclear exactly when the product was removed from the Apple Store, however a Google search still returns a link to Apple's online store as the first result.
The iPod Socks were first introduced by Apple in 2004. They came in a pack of six colorful sleeves that were meant to hold an iPod of any size, and protect it from scratches.

This happened months ago.
But… now what will we deride as a pointless accessory?
They killed off the $100 leather iPod case even earlier!
Gone because they are finally ready to introduce......wait for it........... "iPod Shoes"!
guess they are just gonna replace with longer ones for the 4 inch ipod touches
Apple's losing its soul, man
This doesn't make any sense. Winter's coming soon, my ipod's gonna catch its death of cold if it can't snuggle up in a nice warm sock.
