Speck Products Debuts Toy/iPod Case iGuy

by , 1:30 PM EDT, May 26th, 2005

Speck Products on Thursday introduced iGuy, a bendable iPod case that anthropomorphizes the MP3 player and turns it into an action figure. Its white, rubberized case protects any 4G iPod, including iPod photo, from dings, and openings provide access to the controls, headphone plug and hold switch. iGuy splits open in the back, enabling it to "sit" on a dock when it's time to synch and recharge the iPod. The unique case ships next month. Pricing is US$34.95.

This is, without a doubt, one of the best iPod accessories I've seen in a long time!

I'm a little disturbed by the way the dock works, however. It has made me think that this company should sell a dock that looks like a toilet to go with this guy.

Ok, maybe I was disturbed before I read the article...

Oh, I have no doubt. What do you think I meant when I called it the "best?"

How many other iPod add-ons would have us laying awake at night...just watching them for feat that they'll come to life?

This thing is easily on par with the new "Burger King."
