iPod Skin Case for New Mini iPods

Speck Products announced a newly designed rubberized skin for the recently announced and much anticipated Mini iPod. Apple introduced the new smaller form factor iPod at last week's MacWorld and has stated a mid-February ship date. The Speck Mini iPod Skin cases will be available at the same time.

"We are pretty confident that this will be the first case available for the new Mini iPods," said General Manager Tim Hickman. "Our engineering team started the design process within hours of Apple's announcement and arrived at our factory in China within 3 days to start fabrication. We simply went as fast as humanly possible so we can offer consumers protection for their new Mini iPods as soon as they get them."

The new Mini iPod Skins will provide protection for the new Mini iPod against dust, knocks, and scratches,while minimizing the bulk that most cases add. This skin-tight design is even more valuable for the new slimmed down iPod form factor. The case features a special shock-absorbing Dynaflex rubberized plastic construction, cutouts for the headphone, firewire port, and hold switch, and will be introduced in translucent colors inspired from the 5 new Mini iPod. The Mini iPod Skins will be sold in 3-Packs for $29.95 and individually for $19.95.
