Let’s Take a Swim
01.25.07 - 02:09pm
A new waterproof iPod case has hit the market complete with rubber bumper guards perfect for hitting that shark over the head when taking a swim in ocean waters.
The Ego (not to be confused with Lett-go my Ego Waffles) won the 2007 CES Innovations Award for Excellence in Engineering and Design for producing the first fully waterproof iPod case that floats in water.
It has high powered speakers protected by bumper guards and a waterproof bass venting port for optimum sound quality. The click-wheel is accessible via a waterproof clickwheel membrane.
When you’re lounging in your pool, you can view your iPod video through a crystal clear window while letting it drift in the water as it floats peacefully along. The speakers and iPod are powered by 4 AA batteries providing 30 hours of playtime.
The case also offers a shatterproof polycarbonate body and a shock absorbing compartment to protect the iPod. (Don’t know why you need shatterproof in the water but it will protect against Uncle Buck’s misplaced cannonball).
It retails for $199.99.
