Digital Lifestyle Outfitters (DLO) has expanded its HipCase product family with three new styles for the current iPod models: the HipCase leather folio for the iPod nano, iPod classic and iPod touch; and the HipCase nylon holster and HipCase leather sleeve for iPod touch.
Each features an integrated, covered belt clip for hands-free transport in a protective package. Each new case is available for a suggested retail price of $29.99.
The HipCase folio for the iPod nano features a padded leather cover that flips open to reveal a clear, play-through window. Its leather-covered belt clip is designed to keep the nano securely at your side. The HipCase folios for iPod classic and iPod touch, like their nano counterpart, feature leather and a padded flip-up cover. Unlike the nano’s play-through window, the HipCases for iPod touch and classic provide open access to the click wheel and touchscreen. In addition, each includes a pocket on the inside flap for carrying an ID, cash or credit card. All three folios offer access to iPod controls, including the click wheel and headphone jack.
The nylon HipCase for iPod touch sports a belt clip for horizontal placement, and a Velcro tab and center notch for one-handed iPod access. It features a nylon body and rubber accent on the padded flip-up cover. The HipCase also features a hidden inside-pocket for your ID or credit card. Corner notches offer unobstructed access to the iPod’s earbud jack.
The HipCase sleeve combines a protective leather case with a soft inner lining. Its open design offers full-time access to all iPod controls, including the dock connector, Home button, and display screen. While it features an open-face design, it also ships with a bonus DLO Surface Shield to protect the iPod touchscreen and keep it smudge-free.
