Griffin Offers Up iPod 5G Transparent Case

Griffin Technology today debuted a new tough, two-piece shell for the iPod 5G. This newest iClear case is priced at $19.99 and should be available now.

The iClear case for the iPod 5G, said Griffin, is a two piece, clear shell enclosure which is made of a polycarbonate material which reportedly helps protect the digital audio player from abuse during one’s daily grind. Installation of the iClear works by putting the iPod 5G into the front casing half and then snapping the rear section into place.

The iClear case fits snugly with the iPod 5G, providing access to all controls while still protecting the player. It’s transparent design supports both the 30GB and 60GB video iPod models.

As people hold on to older smartphones for longer stretches of time, it seems the most compelling impetus to plunk down cold hard cash for a brand new handset is 5G. It’s the one major tech that the current generation of 4G smartphones does not support, and it is almost universally viewed as the Next Big Thing.

To take advantage of the new technology built into a 5G smartphone, external networking capabilities must be built into a geographical area, something that has not yet happened in most countries, including the U.S. Right now, only Verizon has launched a 5G network this year in some parts of Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, and today Providence, Rhode Island. AT&T has 5G networks in 19 cities, but no phones to take advantage of them. And T-Mobile promises to bring 5G to 30 cities, starting with New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Las Vegas. A 5G network also covers parts of London. Despite its limited geographical range, it hasn’t stopped smartphone makers from rolling out new handsets to support the new tech. At CES 2019 Qualcomm said it expected to see some 30 new 5G devices, mostly smartphones, this year alone.
