Company: iStyles

Website: www.iStyles.com

Models: iPod 5G Sleeves and nano Sleeves

Prices: $10

Compatible: iPod 5G, iPod nano

iStyles Sleeves

These simple and inexpensive fabric sleeves, sold in different sizes for full-sized iPods and nanos, come in a wide variety of colors and textures. Though a tiger-like animal print wasn't as hairy as we expected, others (black fur) were, while still others had surprising raised text and interesting patterns. They're certainly more novel than a lot of the sleeves we've seen in the past.

Company: Incase

Website: www.GoIncase.com

Model: New York Landmark Folio

Price: $35-40

Compatible: iPod nano, iPod 5G

Incase New York Landmark Folio for iPod 5G and nano

Exclusive to the new Fifth Avenue Apple Store in New York City, Incase's customized New York Landmark Folio cases for iPod 5G and nano use the company's familiar Folio protective design - a flip-open, snap-closed holder with an integrated belt clip - and subtle, embossed artwork of arches, the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Statue of Liberty. Black and white versions were available at the store's opening; Incase expects that the limited run of these cases has already sold out since that event, making them collectible.

Company: Allsop

Website: www.Allsop.com

Model: Splash Pack Dri Pod

Price: $20

Compatible: iPod 1G-5G (Large), iPod mini, nano, shuffle (Small)

Allsop Splash Pack Dri Pod Protection from Water, Dust and Sand

This inexpensive new bag-like waterproof iPod case is sold in two sizes (large/small), each permitting access to an iPod's screen and Click Wheel through a flexible plastic material. The front of Dri Pod is clear, the rear is frosted, and both an adjustable lanyard necklace and headphone port extension plug are integrated into the case. Water is kept out through a system of three "Sure-lock seals" (think Ziploc bags with a Velcro wrap at the top), and Allsop rates Dri Pod as submersible to 9 feet (3 meters), assuming you provide your own waterproof headphones. Sand and dust are also kept away from the iPod while inside, however, the company warns against heat and sunlight damage.

Company: Logiix

Website: www.Logiix.net

Model: GX4 Pro Digital Music System

Price: $115

Compatible: iPod 3G, 4G, 5G, mini, nano, 1G/2G*, shuffle*

Logiix GX4 Pro Digital Music System

This smaller SoundDock-alike speaker system from Logiix features an iPod dock and remote control, and uses the familiar stark metal front speaker grille/curved casing and dock styling pioneered by Bose. iPod nano, 5G, and general dock adapters are included in the package, as well as audio input and USB dock synchronization cables.
