Pros & Cons

    • Rugged.
    • Waterproof up to 3 feet deep.
    • Lets you access click wheel.
    • Doesn't let you access Hold switch.
    • Bulky.

The Otterbox oPod Case provides watertight, crush-proof protection for your iPod, with a rugged plastic shell that easily snaps together. The bottom supplies a protective rubber padding inside as well as an insulating rubber seal; the top has a clear rubber window that gives access to the iPod's front panel. The kit includes three inserts: one for the iPod earbuds, one for the remote, and one for "universal" headphones (though we had trouble using the Etymotic ER-6 earphones).
