For reals?

I don’t really understand this obsession with covering up the ipod with other materials. The glossy white finish is what makes the iPod so stylish to begin with, surely?

This is a beautiful option if all that glossy whiteness annoys the hell out of you!
For instance, the iPod dock connected to the stereo in my dark wood covered den sticks out like a sore thumb. These are perfect!

hey i dont think i would buy one myself, but i must admit this sure is a better and more creative idea then the iBeam or other random and usless or repetative iPod accesories…

...so I guess this means about the only iPod accessory yet to be introduced would be an integrated docking solution for your toilet.

I dunno about you, but I for one have had plenty of integrated docking with my toilet. No ipod needed.

I think it’s great to have lots of iPod accessories to choose from. Why expect there to be ONLY ones that appeal to YOU?
I’m quite happy with my battery-free iBeam—and I can see the point of changing your dock to match your decor as well.

Instead of this, why doesn’t some company come up with a dock that will allow us to mount an iPod in an iSkin or similar case?

While there are many ipod assessories right now, I think that this item is really nice personally. I bought one of these recently from these guys and I think its quite cool really. I emailed them to ask them if there was anything new to come out in the future and they said they were making these new “electronic guitar” docks that look like the base of an electric guitar…quite cool…They also said you could customize your own if you wanted. You guys gotta check some of these out.
