Proporta has announced its Color Change Silicone Case, a new protective skin for the iPod nano that gradually changes colors according to its temperature. The case is available in hot pink, deep blue and charcoal, and features a removable lanyard and access to all iPod controls and ports. “As the temperature rises, the case changes color (gradually getting lighter) allowing you to buy just one case but own a multitude of colors,” the Proporta says.

Too bad you can’t get one for the REGULAR iPod. It seems like the coolest cases come out for the nano, not the 5G.

The silicone equivalent of a mood ring for the nano. The ‘70s bites again.

I hope they come out with a case for the 5G. If they did I would buy it.

Apparantly they are also making cases for (UN)Creative Labs players, except that they will change to green whenever a iPod user walks by

I hope nobody exposes his/her iPod to excessive amounts to heat in order to change the color of the case; it could damage the iPod. But I would hope people are smart enough not to do that.

I’m betting there won’t be one for photos, but if there were…
...really, if they have the temperature range right it could be a nice warning that your iPod’s getting a bit too hot while transferring files or such.

wow! only 20 bucks! thats not bad! another tip for you guys, you shoudl never charge your ipod with any case on it! the reason is long and hard to say but the mane thing is this. The iPod is designed to charge with the right tempiture. but with a case on it, makes that iPod get hotter! so, dont do that!
