Digital Lifestyle Outfitters is shipping new protective jackets for iPod mini users. The jackets are designed to protect the iPod mini from screen scratches and other potential damages. The covers come in materials ranging from silicon to leather and also can accommodate arm straps for expanded functionality. According to Digital Lifestyle Outfitters:

Digital Lifestyle Outfitters announced today that they are offering a new line of cases and accessories for the iPod mini and that those products are now available for pre-order.

The DLO Jam Jacket mini features a built-in, transparent screen protector- a very thin, clear layer of silicone that protects the LCD screen from scratching, and it is made of the same flexible silicone as the DLO Jam Jacket.

An upgrade to the new DLO Jam Jacket mini, the DLO Jam Jacket Pro mini, features two reinforced slits in the back that accommodate the new DLO armband (included), enabling you to effortlessly secure iPod mini to your arm for workouts, runs or just being out and about.

The DLO Jam Jacket mini 3Pacs and Jam Jacket Pro mini 3Pacs are a great deal. The elegant, Italian leather DLO Podfolio mini is available for pre-order as well.

DLO is also debuting the Action Jacket mini with the new, improved armband that features an ultra-secure Velcro and fits any bicep from Felicity to Ferrigno.

You can find more information about the iPod jackets at the Digital Lifestyle Outfitters Web site. The jackets range in price from US$19.99 to US$34.99.
