iLounge

Some of the newest accessory arrivals at iLounge include:

iPod shuffle

Speck Products Connect & Protect - Click Here for Details

Speck’s Connect & Protect kit includes a SkinTight shuffle case (iLounge rating: B+) and four different USB cap attachments to “connect” to your bag or clothes.

Full-Sized iPods

Graphic Collective Graphic Cling - Click Here for Details

A non-adhesive sticker? Yeah - this attractive vinyl design (and others) is designed to cling to the surface of a fourth-generation iPod, but we weren’t super impressed by its ability to stay on the iPod.

H2O Audio SV-iP4G - Click Here for Details

This full-sized iPod follow-up to H2O Audio’s SV-iMini underwater housing (iLounge rating: B+) preserves its predecessor’s premium price, includes underwater earphones, and now is compatible with different thicknesses of white and chrome iPods. Two neoprene enclosures are sold separately.

Mindknob Glove Leather Case - Click Here for Details

This inexpensive new sleeve for 20GB iPods uses “premium glove leather” and includes a non-detachable belt clip. Larger iPods won’t fit, though.

Otterbox 4G - Click Here for Details

This fourth-generation iPod-fitting version of Otterbox’s top-rated iPod waterproof case is identical in price, performance, and quality - just larger. Two versions are available - one for 20GB iPods, and one for 30-60GB iPods and iPod photos.

All Dock Connecting iPods

Monster iAirPlay - Click Here for Details

This power adapter from Monster Cable is designed to let you keep your iPod running while you’re on an airplane - assuming you can find one of the two types of power adapters currently in use. It also doubles as a car charger.

We’ll have plenty more to say on these new iPod accessories in the days to come - and there are some other surprises in store, too.
