H2O Audio explains waterproof case review

H2O Audio has issued a statement attempting to explain a slightly negative Associated Press review of its SV Mini waterproof case for Apple’s iPod mini. The company told iLounge that the initial round of cases sent out to reviewers was “pulled from a shipment of pre-production units” that “do not have a final housing seal.” H2O Audio said these units are “splash proof but possibly not waterproof in an active environment,” noting that the final cases are in transit and are expected in the coming weeks. iLounge has been testing the preliminary case for some time. We have delayed our review while awaiting representative final product of both the case and its included waterproof headphones.
