Episode 69 we review the Waterfield iPod Gear Pouch in this video segment. This case was designed to fit all iPods and additional accessories. It offers several compartments with seperate holders to keep cables, charger, earbuds and your iPod safe and organized. The inside of the case is made from very soft padded material and feels almost like your favorite pair of pajamas. The compartments keep the items seperate and tangle free. This case worked great for keeping all of my accessories and cables in once place while traveling and even when storing at home.

No more scrambling around to find all your iPod gear. An assortment of padded compartments keeps your iPod – no matter what size or style –and iPod accessories secure and tangle free. These Gear Pouches lie flat when full, and can easily be stowed in a backpack, bag, or briefcase. Made of ballistic nylon with soft interior lining and self-locking zippers. Two sizes lets you creatively pack your gear.

Episode 57 we review the Pacific Design iPod video case. These cases are fun leather like cases designed for users that like colors. Available is 5 two tone color combinations. ( Black, Blue, Red, Pink and Brown) The cases are made from soft polyurethane that looks and feels like real leather. The case is a flip front style case that uses a magnetic closure. I like this case because they were pretty thin for this type of case, some leather cases can add bulk to the iPod when using. There is a belt clip on the case that snaps into place and is made from the same material. The clip design was different because they did not use the typical bulky plastic clip that many other cases use. Pacific Design creates cases for other iPod models, laptops, PSP and PDA’s.

The safari case is made by Marware and is available in seven different animal prints.( Tiger, Pink flamingo, Polar bear, Leopard, Panther, Giraffe, Zebra and Tiger) Safari cases first become available from Marware when the iPod mini was released. It was updated to work with the iPod nano and is a sleeve style case. The Nano slides in the case from the top and a velcro strap holds the iPod in the case. You can access the headphone port while in the case but all other areas are covered by the case. A lanyard and carabiner are included with these cases that allow you to secure the case to items.  You can also us the belt loop on the back of the case for attaching to your belt or even an armband.

Episode 65 we review the iPod Nano silicone case from iFrogz. There are endless silicone iPod cases available on the market currently. Most of the companies keep turning out basic cases focused on the cheap side of the market. iFrogz has created a line of cases that offers a large selction of color choices matched with awesome customization at an affordable price point. This case offers screen and clickwheel protection.

The main selling feature on the iFrogz cases is the endless customization that you can do. You are able to select the color of the case, a different selction for the ruberband that wraps the case. You also have choices of what you want the wheel protection sticker to be.

The overall design of the case was very impressive. I loved the raised contours of the case designed with tastefully displayed iFrogz logos on the case. The bandz is a rubberband like strap that wraps around the case to offer protection for the docking port and hold switch. The Bandz can be used to create cool color combinations.

Episode 52 we review the Vakadoo iPod case. The Vakadoo line of cases is a new company to the iPod case market. This type of hard plastic case has been done by other manufacturers, but the Vakadoo has a totally unique locking mechanism. There are no hinges and it does not use some primitive clips. The company designed a unique secure locking system that produces a tight closure. The case is made from hard plastic and is available in two finishes. There is a soft feel case that is actually covered in liquid rubber and available in 6 colors.(Purple, White, Blue, Black, Green and Pink) The other style is the Domino series that has a glossy lacquer finish that is available in white or black colors. The cases are available in two sizes for 30 or 60gb Video iPods. Vakadoo is a European company and maybe that is were the fresh ideas are coming from. The screen of your iPod is protected by a built in clear hard plastic screen protector. Other ports like the hold switch, headphone port and docking connector all have openings for easy access. The case may prevent you from using some add on accessories that attach to the bottom of your iPod with the case on.

When your iPod is in the TinPod there is little doubt about its safety. The case fully protects the case expect for the opening on the top for connecting in your headphones. This case is available in 3 colorful designs each limited to 5,000 pieces each. This gives you a chance to benefit from a cool case and rockin design. I used this case mostly when using my backpack, since it offers great protection and I did not need to access the screen or control wheel.

Episode 61 we review the Card Wallet iPod Nano case.  This case is an elegant looking leather piece that is designed for use in a jacket pocket. I would not suggest using in your back pockets because of the thiness of the iPod nano and past damage history. The case holds a Nano and a few business or credit cards in the one slot. The screen of your Nano is protected by the built in screen protector. The nano slides into the case from the opening at the top of the case.  I thought the leather looked and felt great and had that great new leather smell. The construction of the case was good and stiching looked nice.  The card wallet case is available in four leather colors. (Red, Black, Pink and Tan)
