iPod Swimbelts: Pricey, But Ready for Water and Wear

GeekSugar — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 14:00:21 -0700

Despite the fact that we've hit winter weather, manufacturers want us to believe waterproof iPod accessories are the new black. A company called Swimbelt has a series of waterproof holsters for iPod video, shuffle and nano, $39.99, that were designed to work while fully submerged in the pool. The belts are made of neoprene that is resistant to the effects of oils, solvents, heat, and water. You have to purchase the H2O Waterproof Case, $79.99, and waterproof headphones, $49.99 separately, which means a waterproof set will put you out nearly $170 on top of the cost of your iPod. I think the price begs the question, is the ability to listen to music underwater worth it?

Check out these hand-made suede sleeves which cradle your Nano and protect it from scratches.

Sports Cap For Nano: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 09:00:26 -0700

We've already seen a bevy of cases for the new Apple iPods, but the Sports Cap for Nano marks the return of our old friend. While the device allows you to break free from the wires that normally hang from your ears to your iPod, we find it, well, kinda funny. The hat hasn't been released yet, but it is scheduled to be released soon in blue, green, red, black and white, which just happens to be the same color as the new iPod Nano 3G. Is sticking your new nano in your cap more chic than using an armband or clip?

iMuffs Are Way More Stylin' Than Earmuffs

GeekSugar — Thu, 17 May 2007 03:22:05 -0700

These brand spankin' new wireless iMuffs may not come cheap with a price tag of $180 but they are the first wireless headphones with Clear Voice Capture (CVC) and you won't have to deal with any annoying cords. Listen to your iPod's tunes or videos wirelessly and use the ergonomic controls to pause, change volume, skip tracks, and find music. You can also talk on the phone with the noise canceling microphone or use the improved bluetooth radio. Yes, and I can't believe technology has advanced this far... you can now listen to music from your laptop or smartphone, talk on the phone over iChat or Skype and even chat while playing video games.

As the saying goes: Many tried, but there could only be one winner. jendudley is now the proud owner of the iPod Nano and Chocolate gift set giveaway. I used a random number generator (shown below) and picked 445, which just happened to be the number of jendudley's comment.

If you didn't happen to win you can still get yourself, or your mother, the very same specially wrapped iPod Nano and Chocolate gift set from Best Buy or online.
