I’ve been using a H2O Audio case for about a year now in a swimming pool. Works perfectly.

So, the case is so you can keep the iPod with you in the water, so beach goers won’t steal it? I wouldn’t think it’s meant for listening to WHILE you do the said sports, does it?

I spoke too soon. Apparently they also offer waterproof headphones, that’s so cool. I wonder how well they work.
