Secure-It has introduced the Pod Safe, a new locking iPod security case that “prevents theft or loss while commuting, traveling, at school, at the gym, on the beach, in the office, or practically anywhere that you listen to your iPod.” The Pod Safe is made of a PolyCarbon-strengthened ABS material and features a resettable four-digit combination lock with vinyl coated steel security cable to secure your iPod. The Pod Safe is available in either black or white finishes for the fifth-generation iPod and iPod nano. Both cases sell for $40 each.

That thing wouldn’t last 2 seconds with a wire-cutter.

I agree with sean. I don’t know of any off-the-shelf security lock that’s 100% tamper-proof. For example, the locks you put on your luggage at the airport can easily be broken with the right tools, but the real purpose of having those is for a higher sense of security as opposed to having easy access to your belongings with unlocked luggage. At least this way you’ll know someone’s not gonna snatch that iPod right out of your pocket.
