It's hard to believe that the first iPod was released almost 12 years ago. Back then, the iPod was big, clunky, andâ€â€at $400â€â€expensive. Despite the lack of Windows compatibility and the unusual scroll wheel, Apple sold more units than anyone expected. The company went on to revolutionize not only the way we listen to music, but the entire music industry itself.
As of October 2011, Apple has sold more than 300 million iPods worldwide and, chances are, if you are reading this story, you probably bought one of them. Starting at $199 for an 8GB model, a new iPod touch isn't cheap (and we're not even thinking about the $399 64GB model). The most recent version of the iPod touch (4th generation model) is much more than just an MP3 player. It is essentially an iPhone without calling capabilities. You can surf the Web, text between iOS devices over Wi-Fi with iMessage, sync content between devices wirelessly with iCloud, shoot HD video, and video chat using FaceTime.
This multi-faceted gadget deserves to be treated with the utmost care, which means covering it with a worthy case. Even if you have the stouter, sturdier iPod nano, you may want to think about protecting it, whether you are running on a treadmill or just running errands. We've rounded up 13 iPod touch cases and two iPod nano cases that are not only super cool but will also keep your iPod safe after a clumsy drop or two.
