MicroShield cases

XtremeMac has introduced MicroShield Plus cases for Apple's new iPod models. The cases are made of crystal clear impact-resistant plastic. Each case offers protection for the screen and click wheel, and includes a removable belt clip. The belt clip doubles as a kickstand for movie viewing, allowing the iPod classic to stand vertically, and the iPod touch to stand vertically or horizontally. The iPod nano version comes with two backs—one with a belt clip and one without—and a carabiner that can be attached to a belt, purse or backpack. The MicroShield cases are available in a variety of configurations priced between $20 and $30.

Shades Classic, Nano cases

ShadesCases has begun selling two new case lines to complement Apple's latest iPods. The company's new Classic case is made of soft polyurethane, and is less than 0.02 inches thick, reducing bulkiness. The case is also notable for having a clear screen cover, and embossed clickwheel protection, ensuring that users still know where controls are located without looking. Openings are present for the Hold switch, headphone jack and dock port; Shades notes that because the case is so thin, a Classic can be attached to Apple's universal dock without trouble, or combined with accessories like the Griffin iTrip. Other docks may require pulling up the case slightly.
