iVue case replaces your iPod's hard outer shell

by Laurie A. Duncan Nov 3rd 2006 at 8:30PM

With all the iPod cases out there it's getting hard to stand out in the crowd. The iVue Crystal Case from iPodMods doesn't try to compete with all those other cases. It aims to make them unnecessary. the iVue is a see-through shell that replaces the entire front of your iPod, showing off your iPod's internals iGuts. It will come in clear as well as several translucent colors. Although there's no info on the iPodMods site right now, the cases are expected to be available for video iPods and iPod nanos before the end of the year, with additional iPod models supported soon after and pricing is expected to be $20-$35 with free installation when you ship your iPod off to them. Hopefully there will be a self-install option as well, but there's no mention of that so far

I don't know about you, but I am digging the naked iPod concept. Clear is the new black.

Clear is the new black? I don't think so. Clear is the new ass. In fact, clear was the new ass five years ago. Now clear is the old, been done ass.

If they made the new Shuffle clear you won't be able to find it at all...

Huh, cool I guess, if you like taking something beautiful and turning it ugly.

My uncle had a clear phone from Mountain Bell that did this exact same thing in 1982. It was ugly, too.

This is something I'll definitely consider once my 5g is fully out of warranty...it'll have a few more scratches then, and that's not a lot of money to get rid of them, get protection against new scratches, and get a cool case. Wonder if you can get a new battery installed at the same time...if they don't offer that service, they sure as hell should.
