Latest Creations From the iPod Accessory-Making Machine

If you have a new iPod nano, just slide it into the iFrogz Audiowrapz Speak Case and you'll never have to untangle headphones. Once the player is in the case, it's connected with a headphone jack, which is built into the speaker system.

Combining the nano and the speakers make it about the size of an iPod classic and is a whole lot easier to share songs or videos with others close by.

No Batteries Needed

It's made of silicone so it protects the player from dust and scratches. No batteries are required since the speakers are powered off of the iPod.

Users have full control of all the functions while the iPod is in the case, including switching to headphones while attached.

Audiowrapz, which is distributed by the popular iPod suppler Dr. Bott, is available in aqua, black, gun metal, pink, hot pink, mint green, neon green and red.

Full Access While Driving

Hands-free is always a good thing for iPhones while driving, and the DLO VentMount makes that happen.

The car bracket gives the device a secure mounting system, which is hooked onto the air-conditioning vent. While in use, the mount gives full access to the controls. The iPhone can also be charged and this makes it an ideal mount for Bluetooth headset users.

The device rotates horizontally or vertically so the bracket is as multi-functional as the device itself.

Users can also make a quick conversion from the car mount to a belt mount with the belt clip, while others might choose to use it on a desktop with the locking desktop surface.

Protection From Dirt, Dust

Griffin Technology has some additions to its case lineup for iPod with the FlexGrip and FlexScreen and a new kit to keep the iPod touch shiny and clean.

The FlexGrip is a silicone case for the iPod nano and iPod touch, which protects the devices from dirt, dust, scratches and hopefully some small drops.

A black front and gray back make up the multi-colored case, but what makes the cases unique is what Griffin describes as a "textured, nubby rear surface." This makes it easy to grip and hold on to as well helping it grip a smooth table top surface better then the front smooth side.

While the device is in the case, users will have full access to all the controls. Also included are a static peel touch-screen protector and cleaning cloth.

FlexScreen for iPod nano is a crystal-clear, scratch-resistant polycarbonate face shield, which snaps onto the outside of the frosted silicone case (with the same nubby rear surface as the FlexGrip) for added protection.

Screen Care Kit for iPod touch has five static peel screen protectors, and a lint-free cleaning cloth to remove dirt and to tackle the never ending battle with fingerprints.

Information: All are priced at $14.99, and are at retail sites as well at www.griffintechnology.com.
