Pelican Introduces Rugged, Waterproof iPod Case
By Shutterbug Staff January 10, 2006 — If you are among the growing number of photographers who use an Apple iPod to store digital images while on the road, you should take a look at the new i1030 Micro Case from Pelican Products. This tough, watertight case features a molded rubber compartment that fits the Apple iPod (3rd and 4th generations), iPod Mini with belt clip, and the new iPod video.

A separate compartment holds a USB or Firewire cable, and the lid has plenty of space for earphones and AC adapter. A detachable light-reflecting nylon strap is also included.

The i1030 Micro Case has a high-impact polycarbonate shell that stands up to punishing conditions. A secure latch with stainless steel pins keeps the case closed after drops and hard knocks, and the shock-absorbing liner doubles as a watertight seal. There’s also a pressure-balancing Gore-Tex valve that keeps moisture out and makes it easier to open the case after altitude changes.
