Actual Waterproof iPod case demonstrated at CES

Remember how disappointed TUAW readers were in the H2O Audio "waterproof" Nano housing that was, at best, water resistant? Today's Las Vegas-based Consumer Electronics Show brings better news. Here's a demonstration of an actual waterproof container for your iPod, courtesy of Atlantic's EGO waterproof sound case (PDF). Unfortunately, they've designed this for party goers rather than lap swimmers, but it's still a very nice step in the right direction. How hard do you think it would be to hear this thing in a shower? Pretty hard, I'd imagine. And does it look to you like it's built for rough handling or just to float and get occasionally splashed?

swimman makes a nice waterproof headset that actually works.
ottorbox, or h2o, one of them even recommends it on their own website.

The beauty of this item is that you don't need headphones! It has built in Speakers. Pretty nice to take to the beach or in the shower.

This isn't special. Otterbox has made waterproof playthrough iPod cases for years. Show me a decent set of waterproof headphones and I'll be impressed.
