iPod video users can look forward to biking, exercising, relaxing on the beach and going on holiday with the new rugged OtterBox.

The OtterBox is designed to turn the iPod video into a rugged mass storage device, allowing users to take the player anywhere without fear of destroying it.

The case is both waterproof and shock resistant, saving the fragile iPod hard drive from any misadventure.

The front is coated in a ClickWheel-enabled membrane, allowing users, not dirt and water, full access to their music. Rubber lining keeps the iPod video in place, whilst a secure latch keeps it tight shut.

“The OtterBox for iPod video allows iPod users to take their music, photos and movies anywhere without fear of damaging their iPod,” said CEO of Otter products, Curt Richardson.

Colleague, Brian Thomas, added: “The iPod video provides users with state-of-the-art technology, the ability to play music, store pictures and watch video. However with a fragile design, the video is vulnerable to the elements. With the OtterBox for iPod video, the video is protected from dirt, dust, scratches, water and more.”

The video OtterBox is due to retail in the US at $49.95.
