iPod in shining armour!
Case Logic has come out with new ‘Traditional Tins’ for iPod. Let me just give a brief description of this ‘traditional tin’ for people wondering what this is. Basically, these are tin containers which are redesigned to serve as ipod covers. Initially they were meant to more of an ordinary ipod holder, but after Tinbot’s artistic outer designs and inner padding were added, it is more than just a holder. This new version has cut the front art, it instead it has an artistic front lid. The rear is a steel grey silver one with perforations. There is a side shell and a white silicone rubber lining. Look at the picture and you will certainly agree with me that the design and colours are quite attractive. The size is designed to fit the 160GB iPod classic but upon inserting a white soft insert pad this case can comfortably hold the 80GB classic models also. There are two orifices in this case, one for the full-time headphone and the other for the Dock Connector port access. But barring this, this one is a real tough shell, there is no way one can reach the screen or the controls with the ipod nestled snugly in this case. Thus, one needs to remove the iPod from this Tin to access the controls or the screens. This is probably the only disadvantage. Well may be not the only one. I certainly feel the $30 pricing is a bit too high, but everybody has their views on the cost. So if you are looking for an ipod in shining armour, go for the ‘Traditional Tins’.
