I used to work for a hot-tub company.... we used those cases for the iPods that went with our stereo systems!

I have one of these waterproof cases and let me tell you they are awesome!

I snorkeled with one in Mexico on my last vacation and what a scene I caused when people started noticing an iPod going into the water. Complete strangers came up to me with mouths open and eyes popping asking if they could give it a try.

Being underwater and seeing all the beautiful fish with music playing in your ears is an unbelievable experience that you should try at least once in your life.

avatarNot usable for swimming.

Not usable for swimming. The case works like a charm keeping your ipod dry but the earphones do not fill well in your ears allowing water and air bubbles to form in your ear canal making it all but inpossible to hear the music as sound does not travel well through both mediums.

avatarI have experienced something..

Well, it's quite the emberassing story, but once, I left my 1st Generation iPod Nano, in my Jean pocket, then I went to put it in the washing machine. When it was washing I thought "Erm...Where is my iPod?!" Then a lightbulb lit up above my head and realized it was in the washing machine, after about 30 minutes.

So I took it out, the weird thing is, it didn't feel wet, or even seem like it, but all of the clothes were drenched. It wouldn't turn on, so I was so scared, I've had this iPod for a long time. Then, I didn't give up, I synced my iPod to my computer, and I left it there, at first the blacklight would just flicker, then after about 5 minutes, sure enough I saw the "Charging" and iTunes came up, and I sighed in relief... Apples products = Amazing.

Try and do that with your Zune Microsoft buzzards!

avatarrockin underwater

I've been taking my iPod underwater 3-4 days a week since summer. I work underwater where it's murky and cold, no pretty fish... but my iPod keeps me rockin out all day long!

My case is a full drysuit with an attached latex hood that keeps my hair, ears and earbuds dry. The video model iPod rests in a pocket on my thigh inside the suit. I can push the buttons to pause and go forward and back right through my suit, but scrolling doesn't work.

avatarInspired by true events, THE

Inspired by true events, THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI is a portrayal both sweeping and intimate of people who, thrown into an unexpected and desperate situation, discover their capacity for love and responsibility. It tells how a young Englishman, George Hogg came to lead sixty orphaned boys on an extraordinary journey of almost a thousand perilous miles across the snow-bound Liu Pan Shan mountains to safety on the edge of the Mongolian desert. And of how, in doing so, he came to understand the true meaning of courage. During his journey, Hogg learns to rely on the support of Chen, the leader of a Chinese partisan group who becomes his closest friend. He soon finds himself falling in love with Lee, a recklessly brave Australian adventurer whom war has turned into an unsentimental nurse on horseback. Along the way Hogg befriends Madame Wang, an aristocratic survivor who has also been displaced by war, who helps the young Englishman, his friends and their sixty war orphans make their way across awesome (and rarely filmed) mountain and desert regions to a place of safety near the western end of the Great Wall of China.
