As the iPod is now part of our lives, more and more manufacturers are making accessories for Apple's iPod. Recently, Atlantic joined the trend.
It's hard to imagine life without the tiny iPod keeping us company is the rainy mornings. Therefore, it's good to know we have a waterproof iPod using the Atlantic iceBAr speaker system. The iceBar is completely waterproof, with 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, the differences between the two being that the iceBar literally floats in the water with the included mini buoy and case has a flip-out leg for placing it on a desk or table for use at work or at home. The speakers are powered by dual, 32mm neodymium drivers and can play your nano's music for up to 18 hours. There's even a headphone jack for boogying to yourself.
But the best part is that the Atlantic product enables a safe use of the player, while you're on the beach, on a boat trip or running down a river. It's a good thing 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 device is said to be obtained by simply placing the iPod into the adaptable spacer followed by a careful sealing of the product. It seems that Atlantic has designed the best product of its kind, as the iPod is really waterproof when being closed.
To turn 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 were 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 EGO waterproof Sound Case was powered by four AAA batteries, which should offer the claimed 30 hours of continuous music sessions, more than this one's 18 hours. Atlantis stated that their device is compatible with the 4th and the 5th generation of iPods, mini and nano, also.
As for the pricing and availability details, the iceBar device is said to be sold for 70 bucks, starting this winter. So, you'll have to wait a little while to get your iPods on that!
