 Where is my iPod? |

From home to work, from work to the subway, from the subway to the supermarket... You barely come off your iPod only when having a shower? Are you an iPod-aholic loving your music player above any other thing, and when the batteries run out you feel like dying? You’ve chosen a flashy colour thinking that no one else would have the same, but two years later even your little nephew’s got one!...
It’s just normal, the iPod went from being an object of desire to become the most popular and best selling music player in the world. The Apple iPod craze does not escape anyone. It has been imitated over and over again and now artists and creative people of all kinds are focusing in designing the most curious, freaky and original accessories that you could possibly imagine, so that your iPod keeps cool and not just another dull mass-produced player. Take good notice:
Dust Jackets / Skins
White, black, colourful... you might get fed up with the way it looks. Dress your iPod with a furry jacket of the cute little Domokun monster. It’s like a furry coat revealing the central wheel and the screen. Too freaky? Another option could be the Gelaskins, stickers which stick to your iPod like a second skin. You can choose amongst all kind of styles: naïve-ish, with pop images, dream-world illustrations...
Earphones / Earbuds
After customizing the body you must get rid of those white earbuds that every next door guy/girl is wearing and get hold of a cool pair. If you don’t want to attract the wrong attention, plug yourself into the Duck Earbuds; quite discreet... if it weren’t for a yellow duck sticking out of your ear! Provided that someone notices. Less funny but better handcrafted you can have The Perfect Unison, wood-earphones featuring nice illustrations by a Dutch artist.
Speakers
All kind of devices have been created to help you share your music, they come in all shapes, colours and sizes. There are so many styles that one gets lost trying to find out what you really need. What are you using it for? If you work as language teacher you will need a powerful one, if it comes in the shape of a classic all times cassette tape deck, great! The Boombag is then for you. If you are obliged to share your music with your colleagues, but what you really secretly wish is to ostracize yourself and use your own headphones, drop them a hint with the giant 500xl earbud-shaped loudspeakers. There is no other like it: the Hip Hop Pet, a dog-shaped speaker who dances to the rhythm of the music. The perfect partner!
Further accessories
Etre Touchy features no cables, but it will be very useful if you run up and down all day stack to your iPod. They are gloves where the thumb and index finger have been cut out. Take them always with you and control your iPod with no fear to get your hands frozen cold. Although your two poor exposed fingers might freeze a little, your music will keep sounding non-stop.
The iPod is not just for listening to music. You can also use it to plug in sexual toys like Oh MiBod, a white-colour dildo specially designed for your iPod. It’s so cute that it can even work as decorative object.
