Get a good-quality iPod case before ANYTHING ELSE!

There are numerous iPod accessories out there. Many accessories are fanciful, some are good but most do not fulfil the basic need of the iPod. You need to protect the iPod from getting scratches and accidental marks before anything else.

Before the iPod can serve you well, it must be able to take care of itself. So, before you even look further into getting your first iPod accessory or even if you have gotten numerous other accessories, make sure you first equip your iPod with either a good quality case or sleeve.

The most common iPod cases in use are:

Handphone sleeves converted to iPod sleeves

This is the most common as handphone sleeves are cheap and easily available. However, the mirrored back of the 3G and 4G ipod are easily scratched by theses sleeves as they run against the iPod. It is not recommended unless you have a budget problem.

iPod screen and wheel sticky protectors

There are transparent iPod screen and wheel sticky protector that are cut of the right size and stucked directly onto the iPod screen and wheel. However, there are various models in the market and some of the cheaper ones tend to curl and peel off after some use. If you are on a budget, a good quality screen and wheel protector is the minimum you should have.

iPod silicone skin

This is the most common iPod case around. It looks like a good casing choice but it is in fact one of the worst, especially if you have bought a cheap one.

These cheap silicone cases are being mass-produced in China with doubtful materials and design elements. Many of the cheap silicone skins in the market tear easily and pick up lint and dirt easily. They are also difficult to wash and maintain. I will not advise a silicone case unless they are made by some of the better and branded products from USA or Japan. A good model is found at: http://www.smart-ipod-ideas.com

iPod Leather case

The iPod leather case is one of the most popular case. However, do not get the Apple branded one if possible as it tears to scratched the mirror back and it does not have a covering flap. Get one of the leather cases from the many in the market. Check the stitching on the leather case before buying one as some of the mass-manufactured ones may have poor workmanship.

Water and shock resistant cases

There is an increasing demand for such cases as more and more people bring their iPod for hiking, cycling, trekking, fishing and beach trips. There are various good brands in the market. However, note that whatever the advertisement may say, at best, the case can only be water resistant and not water proof which is two different things all together. A water resistant case can only take splashes and short immersion in water and certainly not something you can bring for swimming or diving trips!

Do you know about Ipod tips & techniques?

Almost everyone and anyone that I know seems to have bought an iPod or at least is thinking of getting an ipod for themselves or their loved ones. The iPod is just so alluring! However, do you know what you should do after buying the iPod?

Most people don't. Yet, market analysts estimate that the average iPod owner spend as much as 30% of the original iPod price on additional accessories! That's a whopping US$60-US$90 on iPod accessories that each iPod owner will spend!

Many people are simply spending their money on the wrong accessories! In fact, many are going for fancy accessories such as car transceiver kit, wireless remote kit, speaker kit even without realizing what are the first accessories they should get.

Get the Basic iPod Accessory before getting the Fancy Stuff!

Do you, as a iPod user, faces these problems on a daily basis too?

* iPod Screen scratches

* Click wheel scratches

* Mirrored back scratches

* Messy iPod earphone cables

* iPod overheating when being charged while in a silicone or leather case

Despite the technical and cosmetic superiority of the Apple iPod, there remain some teething issues. Weak batteries is one. Being easily scratched is another. These problems immediately lower the resale or trade-in value of the iPod, if any? This may not seem important but if you are trading in your older iPod for a new one, this does matter. It also sucks to see scratches and marks on the beautiful iPod. In fact, microscopic scratches takes place everytime you take the iPod in and out of pocket!

Top Selling iPod - 3 Reasons Why

Do you know why ipod is a Top Seller

The popularity of iPods is not surprising as the number of digital music lovers worldwide has grown phenomenally. This is mainly due to the convenience and music on call anywhere and anytime facility made available by iPods. The iPod had its humble beginnings as a high-end music device for those who had a fancy for sophisticated devices and had the means to indulge in it. However, given the free and dynamic forces of competition, the device evolved into something which is very affordable and enjoys a huge demand. As can be expected, many players have jumped onto the wagon and we have iPods of many brands, prices, features and sizes. From among these, some have become brand leaders with one or two being leaders of the pack.

What makes a particular brand or model a top or best seller? Among the many variables, storage (number of songs), size/weight, colors/materials, price and what comes together with the device in terms of accessories, appear to be key factors.

1. Storage and Number of Songs. The simple and easy consideration would be to make available to everyone a device with the highest capacity. However, this would not be practical as most iPod users would not need a large storage capacity. They simply would not have the time to listen to all the songs or music stored. A conservative estimate is that as an average, users only need to have something like 100 CDs worth of music. Therefore, it is generally believed that a typical user would only need a device with an equivalent plus or minus capacity. There are certainly exceptions due to people with special needs and there are models that cater to larger storage capacities. They come in full-sizes and higher price tags.
2. Size and Appearance. The best selling iPods are devices that can be held comfortably in the palm of the hand. In fact, the smallest ones are as or even smaller than a single compact disc. In terms of color, black, silver and white-on-chrome give a distinctive and luxurious look. There are models which are available in as many as five different colors. An additional requirement is that the device should be durable as, like the hand phone, the iPod would be subject to heavy daily usage. Though most models are scratch resistant, a simple plastic cover would be an additional protection.
3. Price Tag and Accessories. Price, no doubt, is an important factor. However, one needs to be wise. A small difference in price can make a big difference in terms of quality, capacity, size and features. The cheapest, in this case, may not be a wise purchase. It comes down to getting value for money. An equally important end-factor is what comes together with the iPod. There are the "nice to have" and the"must have" accessories. Purchasers need to ensure that the basic accessories are inclusive. At times, it would be more prudent to take up offers that come as a package as accessories may be a bit pricey when bought separately.

In purchasing an iPod whether as an upgrade or new purchase, the above factors would be overall considerations. However, certain technical details and specifications would also need to be taken into account according to individual needs. In conclusion, it is best to be cautious of huge discounts as these could be due to models that have caveats on them or have issues.

You cannot go wrong with a top brand best seller that is made available by an internationally reputed source. It is available at a very affordable price and is a bargain as a package and you get to choose the option that best meets your needs. Select your iPod with complete confidence and full assurance.
