Viewers and Chargers and Cases, Oh My! The Wide World of iPod Accessories

By John Gawley on May 29th, 2007

Imagine this: Some People are still using their iPods to play music when they’re exercising, traveling, or generally just out and about. All of you I-Savvy individuals out there are probably scoffing, but it’s true. But why shouldn’t you use your iPod in the way it was intended? The answer is simple: because you can choose to do otherwise.

We’ve found that the burgeoning industry that has sprung up around the phenomenon that is the iPod is largely unknown to the world. Even the Apple Inc. faithful can be seen walking around town, listening to music on (gasp!) the earbuds that the multimedia player came with. Aside from getting yourself higher-quality earpieces, there’s tons of other ways you can use your iPod. Whether you want an Apple Powered home theater entertainment system or just an impenetrable case to store your iPod in, TigerDirect.com has it. And we’re going to run through a few of these interesting accessories, in case you don’t believe us.

Keyspan TuneView for iPod
Lets assume that you already know how to connect your iPod to speakers or better yet to your television (Big Assume, I know, but I trust the e-collective to know what they’re doing even better than I do.) set to watch and listen to all of your multimedia goodies, sans headphones. But would you go through all that trouble if you had to get up and skip songs or change music videos?

Keyspan TuneView for iPod makes that unnecessary. It is one of the slickest iPod remotes around. Just plug your fourth or fifth generation iPod Nano, Mini, or Video iPod into a nifty recharging dock. This sweet RF remote has a LCD screen that allows you to surf through the content of your iPod as if you had the little gem right in your hand. Is that cool or what?

ViewSonic PJ258D DLP High Definition Projector
Want to see just how big you can make your favorite iTunes-acquired TV Episode? You’ll need the ViewSonic PJ258D ViewDock DLP Projector. Aside from being equipped with awesome DLP technology (the same semi-conductor wonder pioneered by Texas Instruments and used in high-definition rear projection televisions.) capable of displaying an image at 1024×768 XGA resolution, this projector also has a built-in iPod dock. Your multimedia iPod (which can charge up in-use when docked with the projector) can then be projected all over the wall, screen, boardroom (make sure your boss doesn’t catch you!). Did we mention that it only weighs 3.9 pounds and can connect easily to your laptop as well?

Belkin Kickstand Case for iPod
Then there are those times when you want to carry your iPod, but not carry your iPod. Still following me? The Belkin Kickstand Case for iPod Video is a really well made fine-grain leather case that protects your iPod while still staying hip. Let’s face it—you could always tote the thing around in a fanny pack, but who wants to bring back that fashion nightmare? The kickstand comes with a detachable aluminum karabiner for securing your iPod to whatever you desire. The central feature that separates the Kickstand from the competition is that the top of the case folds down and behind the iPod, effectively propping it upright. This makes it much easier to see the LCD screen when seated at a desk or table. And as is the case with most Belkin iPod accessories, an unbeatable Belkin Lifetime Warranty ensures your complete satisfaction.

No matter what iPod related accessory (or the much-famed iPod itself, for that matter) you need, want, or desire, TigerDirect.com has it for you. And you won’t find half of this stuff at the apple store—so stop by soon and see for yourself. Your iPod will Thank you!
