iPoditude - 1-in-3 Chance? Not For Me! (April 2005)
"Methodshop has posted an unorthodox, but very thorough product review of the Otterbox iPod mini waterproof case. In order to test the real-world ruggedness and waterproofness of the Otterbox case, they requested the help of a dog and a naked wife. Creative, yet surprisingly valid, tests show that the Otterbox does a good job of protecting the iPod mini from water and abuse."
