Block Out the World at the Pool, Too

By Rocky Thompson on August 29th, 2006

It started at work. Listening to music all day helped you get through another day in the cubicle. Then one day you were wearing your iPod in the grocery store, then walking the dog, and now your iPod is the only thing you use your ears for.

The good news is that you can start swimming again since H2O Audio is making waterproof iPod cases. The best part of the H2O Audio case is that you can still use the scroll wheel underwater or when you’re wearing a glove on the ski lift. The cases are about $80 and the headphones are $40.

   I’ve tried the h20 audio case and the Freesytle Audio DMP waterproof player — no comparison; the FA unit kills it…and needless to say the water killed my iPod because the case leaked when I didn’t put my iPod in properly…

   user error isn’t always a good reason to diss a product…unless the product’s design is so bad that user error is unavoidable

   [...] An inventor who took the unfortunate moniker SwimMan is here with a waterproof iPod Shuffle. What makes this setup remarkable is that instead of relying on a big plastic case with awkward controls that you’ll constantly fret about completely closing, this one is waterproof inside-out. It’ll set you back $150 for the shuffle plus another $100 for the headset. It also comes with a one-year warranty for all the worriers. [...]

   [...] When your body washes to shore the locals will probably steal your board shorts before they take the SwiMP3 Surf MP3 player. The waterproof rig only gives you 256MB of playback for about $220—it’s just embarrassing when so many waterproof iPod cases are about. At least you won’t be able to hear the locals harassing you for crowding their turf—or yelling a warning about an inside set. [...]
