Waterproof iPod case makes a splash

Your beach bag might already be packed with protection for yourself, such as sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. But what about your poor iPod or other digital music player?

Allsop is the latest to offer a waterproof iPod case, which the company also notes will protect any electronic gadget from "sand, pudding, or anything else nature can throw at it." Unlike those made by OtterBox, Allsop's Splash Pack DriPod is a soft case, much like souped-up Ziplock bag, that allows constant access to click wheel while the iPod is sealed and protected. The company says it's fully submersible to three meters.

The suggested retail price is $19.99 for both the small and large size. It has a resealable triple-sip closure, an external heat-sealed headphone jack and a lanyard.
