Ifrogz For Your iPod


Sure you love your iPod -- but you don't love those scratches that they are so prone to. There are a zillion different kinds of iPod cases out there, but this one -- called iFrogz -- really caught our eye. iFrogz makes a three-piece silicone case that protects your iPod and allows you to design the look of the case.

"iPod lovers come in every shade and color under the sun and with millions of tastes and preferences," said Scott Huskinson, president and CEO of ifrogz. "There's absolutely no reason why the look of their iPods shouldn't be as unique and customizable as their playlists. Most case makers give us only a few basic colors to choose from. ifrogz sees things differently."

Whereas many silicone iPod cases are flimsy, gummy and collect lint, ifrogz uses only 100 percent high-grade, polished silicone that has been specially treated to resist dust and dirt. This makes the case smooth and silky to the touch, in addition to being thick and durable.

ifrogz cases also differ from every other iPod case on the market by providing three distinct components for total protection -- and complete color customization -- of your iPod: Wrapz(TM), Bandz(TM) and Screenz(TM). Wrapz, the main case component of the ifrogz system, cover the entire player from top to bottom and expose only the screen (which is covered by a clear plastic protector), scroll wheel, headphone jack and other ports.

The thick, durable Bandz then stretch completely around the sides of the iPod, thus protecting exposed ports and adding a bonus element of style. Bandz feature only a single opening over the iPod's headphone jack for optimum protection of the device's connection ports. Screenz, the final -- and most customizable -- element of the ifrogz system, are protective sheets of transparent plastic that lay over the player's Click Wheel. With more than 200 unique Screenz, used in tandem with the 38 colors of both Wrapz and Bandz to result in 300,000 possible combinations, it's highly unlikely your ifrogz case could ever be mistaken for someone else's.

You can design your own case at iFrogz.com. It's pretty easy and they lead you through it: you select the color for the wrap, the color for the band and then pick the design for the transparent screen that goes over the click wheel. The price depends on the mix, but it's about $25 on average.
