You can now enjoy your favourite tracks even while swimming or in places like a bathroom, thanks to the number of waterproof iPod and MP3 cases. These cases provide adequate protection to your music players and also allow you to operate the controls manually without removing the case. These cases provide 100% protection from water and are airtight as well, and some also come with detachable armband for holding the player comfortably and safely on your wrist. So next time you go into the water, you need not part from your music player. All you need to do is to enclose it in one of the waterproof iPod and MP3 cases and carry it along while swimming or scuba diving without bothering about the safety of the player.

With the increasing use of music players, the market for accessories like a case has also increased tremendously. The discussion ahead will provide you an overview of one type of waterproof iPod and MP3 case, the Aquapec MP3 player case. With the sturdy waterproof case like this one, MP3 players can be taken underwater and learn to swim. The Aquapec case provides full water resistance to the player and is thin enough to allow operation of the controls through the case. The case can withstand underwater pressure up to the depth of 5m and has a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack. It can fit iPods 3rd Generation, Mini, Shuffle, and the iPod Nano, plus other MP3 players that are about 4-inch long, 3-inch wide and 5-inch thick. It comes with a carabiner, detachable neckcords and armbands and desiccant sachets.

The iBike Console is essentially the coolest, most hassle-free and safest iPod dock available for bikers, who want to change their iPod tunes while riding. What otherwise might be a hassle, distraction and even unsafe, is made simple and easy with this device. It also features a case which provides weather proof housing for the iPod and a set of controls for easy and safe handling, so you can use it in any weather conditions. There could be no better or safer way to change tunes while riding than with the iBike Console.

The iBike Console needs to be properly installed in order to work correctly, but fortunately this can be accomplished quite easily. The accessory comes with the CrossLoc universal tool free mounting bracket that attaches the iPod securely to the handlebars or the stem of the bike. It not only provides weather proof housing for the iPod but also acts as a docking station. That way you can take your delicate and pretty Apple iPod classic 160GB mountain biking with you through tumultuous rain storms. The iPod screen can be converted into a cycle computer display, which helps the cyclist monitor his distance travelled, trip and speed, all while enjoying and selecting his favourite music.

All the main functions of both the cycle computer and iPod, like stop, pause, play, changing the track and adjusting the volume, can be remote controlled using just your thumbs with a pair of grip mounted wireless patented keypads. These keypads made from silicon have large control buttons which can be easily operated even with gloves on. It has a very simple user interface with easy installation and operates without downloading any particular software. This iBike console is made of extra strong plastic for sturdy housing. It is compatible with all the three generations of iPod nano and costs around £50.
