I'll never forget opening my iPod box. I was just blown away by the packaging. It actually made the product better.

I was so excited when I bought it I started unwrapping it in the car at stop lights. When I realized how intricate and well-designed it was, I stopped and saved the "experience" until I was seated at home so I could enjoy it.

iPods do weird things to people.

I kept the box for a long time because it was just so freaking cool. Actually, I just bought an iSight, and they've used the same packaging (just differently shaped styrofome wells and a different outer cardboard sleeve). Still had that way too cool cube-unfold-and-stack concept.

Yeah, I've still got my iPod box - and my iTrip box. I love how Griffin did great complementary packaging as well. They, more than any iPod accessory-maker, understand the "elegance" of the iPod.

Sometimes - and yes, I know this is stupid - I "re-unpack" my iPod.

"Cult of Mac," indeed.

The packaging simply added to the experience of receiving my iPod as a gift.

Somewhere, deep in the bowels of the consumer machine, a marketing executive is weeping tears of joy.

After opening my iPod, I was not even able to start setting it up right away. I could only weakly sit on my cold dorm floor after the orgasmic experience of unfolding the intricate packaging. When I regained my strength, I could not even bring myself to unwrap the protective plastic from the device, but promptly reclosed the box and went in search of familiars to share the opening experience with while it was still fresh.

I too was completely blown away by the packaging of both the iPod and iSight. I made a point to show friends and family the box, and still have them saved today. It indeed not only brought forth awe at the time of purchase, but also added to the elegance of the iPod itself. Congratulations to the person/people who came up with such a great packaging style!

It was almost disappointing when I go my father a G4 iMac that the packaging was almost normal... after my wonderous iPod and iSight experiences!

It's the intangible value-added that Apple offers that makes them worth it - and this packaging is further proof!

I'm used to brown corrugated cardboard boxes. Opening the iPod box is like switching to the Mac. All of a sudden you see the light!

I spoofed over my packaging!

My PB was the same way. I actually played Ride Of The Valkryies in the background beacuse it fit so well. I've never had packaging build up suspense like that.

Me too! And opening my 17" pb was really cool because that packaging runs parallel to the iPod packaging also, except that everything is freaking huge! I just love that "apple / made in california" or whatever. It just speaks to the quality right there, and is straight up with you, like, "this is our product, this is our company, welcome"
