Thick Skin
Perhaps more important than protection, the Treadz case ($21) from ifrogz wraps your iPod with style. The extra-thick tire tread provides plenty of grip and cushioning. Add optional invisibleSHIELD film to buffer the screen from scratches and scrapes.

Smart Bunny
The cute Nabaztag/tag rabbit ($165) is trying to tell you something. Something like, "It's going to rain tomorrow, your stocks are up or you've got an important e-mail." How's it do it? When it receives info from your computer, his ears twitch and body lights up. He also plays music and reads text!

Private Screening
You can't bring a 62-inch television screen everywhere you go (much less summer travels), but with Icuiti's AV920 headset ($350) you can simulate the experience. It plugs into A/V sources such as an iPod, other media player or portable DVD player.

High And Dry
Pools and beaches alike are treacherous places for MP3 players, but sand and water don't stand a chance against the EGO iPod waterproof sound case from Atlantic ($150). The case doesn't just hold an iPod, but it plays back music through the embedded speakers.

Keeping Up The Image
For those inclined to park beside your Wii, Playstation or Xbox this summer, upgrade the gaming experience with Sharps' GP1U AQUOS TV ($1,700). In addition to being a swell LCD, it's optimized for gaming to eliminate lag time between the game console input and screen.
