iKeychain

ikeychainiKeychain is another iPod shuffle cover that makes sure that your little slice of randomness is safe and secure. They have a booth at Macworld running a video of the iKeychain in action, and I must say it is pretty impressive. The video shows an iPod shuffle getting run over by a car, and surviving.

The outer case is hard, and inside it is cushioned so your iPod shuffle is all cozy and warm and decidedly not crushed.

They go for $29.95, not too shabby I suppose. Now, I know what you're saying, 'But Scott, my full size iPod is often run over by vehicles, am I out of luck?'

Well, it doesn't sound like you have much luck to begin with but the owner of iKeychain told me that they are working on a case for the full-sized iPods that should come out in the near future.

Run over your nano with an SUV.... as long as it is in an iKeychain case :-) What is the point of making something out of "aircraft aluminum" if it won't protect your iPod from a little abuse by a SUV? Anyway, we wanted to see how the case would hold up to a little run in with our truck. So we set up our StickyPod camera rig, did some preliminary tests, and ran over the iKeychain with the iPod nano inside.

When we first got the iPod nano, we noticed scratches showing up almost right away. We got the InvisibleShield on the iPod nano and it's been scratch-free ever since. However, some of the folks at RainyDayMagazine were still a little timid about carrying the iPod around in their pockets and passing it to all who wanted to try it out. To solve that problem, we started looking at "hard" cases to give the iPod nano a little more protection. We had looked at a lot of different cases on the market. Most of them will probably do a fine job of protecting the iPod, but none was designed as elegantly as the iKeychain. Go here to see how it encases the nano in aircraft grade aluminum: http://www.rainydaymagazine.com/RDM2005/GearNGadgets/October2005/RDMGG_iKeyChain.htm

Easy to use, excellent quality. I like the fact it is made in the U.S.

That is just what I could have used, I crushed my shuffle in by backpack last month, $29 is way more affordable then my new shuffle.

I've been casually looking for an iPod shuffle cover. I have yet to encounter a decent one that costs less than $29. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but $30?? No way.
