Shower with Your iPod?
There's no doubt the iPod has revolutionized the way we to listen music. People take their iPods everywhere. On the run, in the car, or at the gym, our iPods have gone with us to the ends of the earth... except places near water.Until recently, a short fall or a splash of water meant certain death for an iPod, but not anymore.
Thanks to a company called OtterBox, makers of watertight storage cases for electronic equipment like PDAs, and GPS units, you can safely take your iPod near or even underwater. OtterBox has created a waterproof hard shell case they call the OtterBox for iPod.
We put all their waterproof iPod cases through several tough tests including a steamy shower and a trip to the beach.
Here's our full series of Otterbox case reviews:

I'm so glad otterbox came out with this - I didn't pay a few hundred bucks for my iPod so I can accidentally drop it in the sand this summer (b/c I will!) I'll be investing in this for sure before my trips to the Jesey Shore begin THIS year :)

nice review. I thought it was very good, methodical, yet very personal and funny. An every guys consumers reports.
Shower? Probably not, but extremely useful if you want to use your iPod in a wet climate.

I use a cheap little speaker (about $15) I got that plugs right into the iPod's headphone jack and doesn't use its own batteries which I plug in and place the iPod in my shower bag and hang it outside my shower. That works great for my purposes.
If you need to listen to your iPod in the shower, you are far too attached to your iPod.
This reminds me of my old college roommate who used to smoke cigars while taking a shower.

Our interview with Ryan was just like his lyrics, honest and articulate. Ryan was very forthcoming and spoke openly about everything from his break with No Knife to his freaky cats.
When it comes to so-called heavy metal supergroups, a lot of them usually don’t last long. But for New Orleans’ Down – made up of Ex-Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo and bassist Rex Brown, Corrosion of Conformity guitarist Pepper Keenan, Crowbar guitarist Kirk Windstein, and Eyehategod drummer Jimmy Bower – there has been something special that has kept them unified for over 15 years.
What’s
the point of downloading your favorite songs on iTunes if they
sound like crap on your computer’s built-in speakers? The
sound quality and volume these little babies emit, much to the
chagrin of my neighbors, is truly phenomenal.
Are
