H20 Audio announced today that it’s shipping its H20 Audio for iPod nano, a waterproof housing for the Apple’s petite music player which is waterproof at depths up to 10 feet (3 meters).
“The iPod nano’s compact size and great sound are making it a fastgrowing favorite for adventure sport and outdoor use,” said KristianRauhala, H20 Audio’s CEO. “Everyone from surfers, wakeboarders, waterskiers, and swimmers to joggers and snowboarders can now strap on an H2OAudio for iPod nano using an armband or swim belt and take their soundtrackinto their favorite activity regardless of environmental conditions.”
The H20 Audio housing for iPod nano provides a full view of the nano’s screen, and features patent-pending technology, including an “elastomeric” diagonal T-seal which provides waterproof protection. The “Commander” scroll wheel assembly provides access to the iPod nano’s command function. Of course, being waterproof, the casing also provides serious protection against dirt, scratches, and impacts. The case ships with an armband, but, alas, H20 Audio’s waterproof sport-style headphones are sold separately (although the casig is compatable with waterproof headsets from other makers, so long as they use standard 3.5mm plugs).
The H20 Audio for iPod nano casing sells for $79.99; the waterproof headphones will set you back an additional $39.99.
