San Diego-based innovation firm, H20 Audio, has released an accessory waterproofing the in-demand fashion icons that are iPod minis.

The sealed waterproof case claims to protect the music players from splashes and scratches whilst not hindering any play features.

The SV mini, retailing from around £80, encases the iPod within a rugged plastic case with a headphone jack inside the housing plugs and a set of white, waterproof earphones.

The iPod click wheel can easily be manipulated when the iPod is inside the SV Mini whilst five buttons on the outside of the case can be pressed onto the actual buttons on the inside.

Reviews have been relatively mixed about the effectiveness of the new waterproof iPod cases but for running purposes, the SV mini has been a profound success, securing the music player in position and protecting it from mild splashes.
