iPod Accessories

The first accessory that you should consider is a case, or â€œskinâ€, of some sort, for your iPod â€“ not just to demonstrate your own individuality and flair, as many owners like to, but also to offer some real, physical protection. You can play it straight, and simple, with transparent, self-adhesive films that can be affixed to the iPod screen, or the whole body, or you can opt for something more upbeat, and sturdy, in the form of cases in plastic, silicon, rubber, leather or metal, in a range of colours and designs â€“ the choice is yours.

Examples include DecalGirl Screen Armour for iPod nano, and iSkin Wild Sides.

From a practical point of view, if youâ€™re likely (and the chances are that you are likely) to carry your iPod with you wherever you go, including to the gym, or while youâ€™re jogging, it may be worth spending a little extra on an armoured (i.e. metal, usually aluminium) case, and perhaps a sports armband, or belt clip. Depending on your activity, you can choose from a range of impact, sweat and water resistant cases.

The Arkon Swivel Belt Clip, for example, attaches directly to the back of an iPod, with adhesive locking tabs.

Whichever protection method you choose, make sure that ample protection is provided for the iPod screen â€“ which is highly susceptible to scratching â€“ and, rather obviously, that you can actually get the iPod controls while it is in the case, if you need to.

The trademark white lanyard headphones, shipped with most iPods, are adequate enough, but if youâ€™d like something different, there are plenty of options available, from many different manufacturers. Examples include Philips 9500 MP3 Headphones and Sennheiser MX 250 Headphones.

Conclusion

Before you find the nearest retailer, or online store, and blow your entire accessory budget on gimmicks, remember that not all iPod accessories are designed for all iPod models, and many are model-specific, and think about the accessories that will really make a difference to you. Even the most expensive, top-of-the-range headphones, for example, will remain strangely silent, if you should have invested in an extra battery pack instead.
