By Ed Oswald | Published May 17, 2005, 12:38 PM
On Tuesday H2O Audio announced the first commercially available waterproof case for full-size iPods. The company says the product is completely submersible - meaning surfers, water skiers and swimmers can listen to their iPod, even underwater. The case comes with specially designed earphones that are waterproof as well.
"It is now possible to have your full-size iPod in the water with 10,000 songs at your finger tips wherever your sports take you." said Kristian Rauhala, president and CEO of H2O Audio. The case retails for $149.95 USD and will be available in June from select retailers and on the company's Web site.
...and leave it there.

Can't wait for the zero atmosphere, zero gravity version to come out. Then I can listen to crappy acts like U2 and Lenny Kravitz while I'm floating in outer space.

Are they insane selling a piece of plastic for that much? I can get 3 really good mp3 players for the price of iPod plus this case.

It's going to allow use of the click wheel, right?

Haven't checked it out, but I'm sure it will. You don't need to directly touch the scroll wheel for it to work--try putting a layer of kitchen plastic wrap on top of it and using it. It'll still work. So they've probably got a way to use it with this case, too, maybe by putting a thinner layer of plastic (assuming that's what the whole case if made of) in the wheel area.
