A new video case for your 5G iPod

Just like your kids, your pets or your car, your music player needs protection. The more features you get from your chosen protection solution, the better. While when choosing a house for your pets, "recreational" and food facilities represent features that are good to have (I am thinking about a hamster house that I have seen once, that featured some kind of labyrinth for your pets to play in... that was awesome, but let's get back to the computer world now!), when choosing a case for your iPod, the ability to use its controls freely is a "must have", and any additional feature such a remote control or built in power adapter make the product more attractive and increase its chances of success.

Yesterday, at Macworld Expo, Tursiogear revealed to the public its Portago case. This case allows the 5G iPod to connect to a variety of output devices, making the video, photo and music content of the player available to be shared with the others. The Portago case's infrared remote lets you control your player from a distance, and its storage place is... the case! Also included with the case comes a power adapter that can connect to an electrical outlet, allowing you to recharge your iPod without a computer.

Ideal for families, iPod enthusiasts and business people, the Portago case is available for pre-ordering at 79.95$ until the first day of February, when the price will rise to 89.95$. Tursiogear offers a one-year money back guarantee for defects in materials or workmanship under normal use, so you shouldn't worry about potential problems that may occur, unless you smash your case with a hammer...
