Gadget accessories


It's a hot summer, and hopefully, most of you are heading down to the pool or beach to cool off . But before you throw your gadgets into a backpack, make sure they're suited up in protective cases that will keep them safe from surf and sand. The beach is not the most ideal place for your gadgets, so here are a few must-have iPod accessories for wired beach bums:

iPhoneArmor: The iPhone is the perfect beach companion, but it's also an expensive one, so waterproof it before you head to the beach. Otterbox has plenty of cases, but I liked the iPhone Armor because this one is waterproof, dustproof, dirtproof, sandproof and drop-proof so you can take your iPhone with you just about anywhere and not worry about damaging it. The best part is you can still use the screen, have access to the headphone jack and click button through the case. This case fits most iPhone models, and is available in black or yellow.

iSH2-Waterproof Headset: Pricey, but great for swimmers, the iSH2 Waterproof Headset from H20 allows you to listen to your second and third generation iPod shuffles underwater. The headset's case gives you full access to your iPod, and includes goggle clips and water canceling silicon earbuds. H2O has plenty of waterproof cases and headphones for other iPods, so check them out if you're someone who spends way too much time in the water.

PODillow: There are plenty of iPod and phone accessories out there that will keep the sand away from your gadgets, but habitual tanners looking for a practical solution now have the PODillow. This pillow with a funny name has a base with a storage compartment that keeps your gadgets dry and out of sight. It's perfect for tanning facedown, since you can still hear the phone ring or listen to your music player, without worrying about getting your stuff stolen if you happen to doze off.
