iPod accessory designer AudioOutfitters has showcased one of the smartest protective cases for Apple’s thriving music players released to date.

Sporting a contemporary crystal clear design, the ezGear ClearCase Protective Case is clearly aimed for the smarter iPod owner and represents a positive departure away from the trend of iPod accessories being made available in countless fanciful and all-sorted colours.

The ezGear ClearCase iPod accessory is available for iPods and iPod minis and is constructed from ultra-clear acrylic with a neoprene inner lining to prevent impact shocks and scratches.

The accessory has been designed perfectly to allow easy access to all the iPod’s controls including a hinge opening for ultra easy access and various cut out spaced for the headphone jack and remote port.

The product also has an opening for iPods with Click Wheels and comes with a detachable ClearClip and lanyard.

The AudioOutfitters ezGear ClearCase is available in three sizes to fit the 20gb and 40gb fourth-generation iPods plus the iPod mini and is retailing from just £9.99.
