iFrogz Tadpole

... or maybe a teether?

I'm not sure how comfortable I'd be handing over a 5.5G iPod to my child, but given the numerous Disney movie titles available in the iTunes Store, it might be a good way to occupy the little chipmunk while you're out and about. Good thing there's the Tadpole, a rugged, playful protective case with dual handles.

Available November 1 from iFrogz, the $20 Tadpole "engulfs the whole iPod while leaving open areas for the Click Wheel, iPod view screen, and various buttons and accessory points." Made of dust-, lint-, and Go-gurt-repelling silicone, the Tadpole is available in orange or purple, for either 30GB or 60/80GB iPods. For an added sense of security (as your kid drops the hard-drive device down a flight of stairs), iFrogz includes the adhesive plastic Screenz screen protector.

Baby proofing the Ipod
by Darayz October 30, 2006 7:13 AM PST
The encasing looks like it can handle a rough fall from the top of a bunk bed.
But the exposed areas, notably the click wheel, might not fare so well from the
greasy hands of a child with chocolate dripping down.
At least the child has a new weapon with which to strike his or her siblings.
