XtremeMac Announces 11 New Silicone Cases for iPods

by , 9:10 AM EDT, October 27th, 2004

XtremeMac Accessories announced Wednesday 11 new silicone protective cases for Apple's third and fourth-generation iPods and the iPod mini.

The new cases feature ribbed sides, a tactile surface finish that keeps the iPod in place, and ventilation holes on the back of the case to keep air flowing and the iPod from overheating. Colors include Orange, Green, and Yellow in the 'Neon' pack, and Hot Pink, Bright Green and Electric Blue in the 'Hot Colors' pack.

The new cases retail for US$19.95 for the clear translucent cases or $29.95 for the three-color 'value packs'. The cases fit Apple's just-announced iPod Photo and iPod U2 Special Edition as well, the company said in a prepared statement.

This type of case is great for fixing the slippery feel of the iPod. I get a little nervouse everytime I'm handling my iPod because I'm afraid it's going to slip out of my hand. On the other hand (no pun intended), it has a silky feel that's nice too. I wish someone would come out with something that gave the iPod some grip, but still allowed it to easily slip in and out of the case that comes with the iPod. Maybe just a couple stips of silicone on each side of the iPod rather than an entire jacket of silicone. Any thoughts/recommendations?
