It's hard to imagine life without the tiny iPod keeping us company, even in the rainy mornings. Therefore, it's good to know that we can always turn our portable player into a waterproof audio system by using the iceBar eGo Waterproof Sound Case for iPod, presented by the people from Atlantic since the first half of 2007, as this thing is guaranteed to keep the player from Apple out of harm's way and in the same time deliver very good quality audio.



Thus, the iceBar is a completely waterproof, floating, two speaker system for first and second generation iPod nanos. The additional features include a flip-out leg, nylon wrist strap, a shatterproof polycarbonate body, as well as an integrated click wheel membrane for the control of the nano, when it's secured in the case, and an external volume adjustment, as well as a couple of useful power buttons.



The Atlantic iceBar waterproof nano speaker case is similar to the eGo sound case for iPods, which was powered by three AAA batteries (according to the company, quite enough for 18 continuous hours of music). But the best part is that the Atlantic product enables a safe usage of the player, while you're on the beach, on a boat trip or running down a river. It's a good thing that the company added a shoulder and a wrist strap to the system, just as it did when manufacturing the eGo Waterproof Sound Case, to avoid losing the waterproof iPod in unexpectedly difficult situations.



The waterproof iPod accessory is very easy to use, since all one has to do is simply place the iPod into the adaptable spacer, followed by a carefully sealing of the product. To switch the device on you just have to use an external waterproof built-in button and a handy LED indicator, that shows the splash proof device's status. In case you're wondering how the sound manages to get out of the sealed package, you should know that it can be heard through the waterproof speakers, without any sound distortion.



The iceBar eGo Waterproof Sound Case for iPod sells for around 50 US dollars, which is, indeed, a pretty affordable price point, given the fact that, after all, this thing could actually save your Apple portable device from being potentially destroyed by water.
