Introducing Claro, the latest breakthrough member to the iSkin family of iPod protectors. Unlike anything before it, the Claro combines the sleek and crystal clear qualities of a traditional polycarbonate case with the addition of an iSkin silicone layer to provide unmatched shock and surface protection.


As the very first dual-layer protective solution for the iPod with video, the Claro features a seamless design, iSkin's ClaroCoat scratch resistant surface and a sleek contoured design that maintains the optimal look of the iPod without additional bulk. With integrated click wheel protection, beltclip and kick stand, the advantages are clear. Additionaly, Claro can be expanded with colored Claro slims (sold separately) to give it an extra-special look including glow-in-the-dark.


Features:


* Claro's integrated clip also has a kick stand feature that gives you hands free viewing and listening.
* Claro has a scratch resistant finish (ClaroCoat) that keeps it looking great so you can enjoy viewing your favourite videos without annoying scratches.

* Claro gives you easy access to all ports and controls, so plugging in and out is never a problem. (Must remove iPod from outer layer when using Apple Dock.)
* Claro includes a specially treated clarified Arctic slims silicone layer that helps to protect against moisture and scratching yet allows the beauty of the iPod to show

From the early days of Napster, I have always had an MP3 player. My first was a Diamond Multimedia Rio PMP300, back in the late 90's, and ever since I've been hooked. I've had them in various guises, but it was after being at a friends house one day in November 2001, when he unveiled his new toy, that I began my relationship with 'The Pod'. This was the first generation iPod, and I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. Naturally, it was soon on top of that year's Christmas list and I have owned nothing else (except other iPods) from that day forth. The iPod has since taken the market by storm and now within the family we have everything from the iPod Video, iPod Mini, and The iPod Nano. Even my Mother-in-law got a iPod Nano from Christmas this year.


But of course the iPod is only half the story. Since the iPods arrived on the market, a multitude of accessories have been developed to complement Apple's personal entertainment device. Today you can buy everything from speakers, docking stations, FM receivers so you can tune your ipod into your car stereo, to a nice fancy case to keep the pod looking good. The list is endless. And now with the advent of the new video iPod, we are going to see even more new devices. This is one of the reasons why we 'love The Pod'.


So this site's objective is to try and keep you up to date with what's happening in the world of the iPod, from the iPod family to the accessories that surround it. Its our ope that 'love the Pod' will bring you the and and useful tips to help you make the most of your iPod.


We want interaction with this site, so please, don't be shy on commenting on what you see here.
