Press Release Edited By Applelinks Contributing Editor Charles W. Moore
Contour Design, Inc. introduces two new cases for Apple's latest generation of iPod digital music players with video, the Showcase video 60 and Showcase video 30.
Based on Contour's original market leading Showcase, the Showcase video is even slimmer but doesn't compromise on protection. "By applying advances in high quality dual-injection molding technology, our design team has created a distinctive case that complements the clean, sleek beauty of the Apple iPod with video," said Mike Jackle, spokesperson for the Mac Media Group at Contour Design. He goes on to state, "There are many 'hard cases' out there that offer protection, but they all somehow compromise that incredible iPod look and feel. We believe we have 'covered' all of these and much more with our ultimate premium hardshell protection: the Contour Showcase video 30 and video 60." Featuring larger crystal clear surfaces on both the front and back, the new Showcase video shows off even more of the iPod it protects.
Taking design cues from the original Showcase, the new case for the video iPod keeps the sleek shock-absorbing rubber and the bookstyle opening. The Showcase video also brings features to the case based on consumer input. "We did a pre-release of the Showcase at MacWorld and got some great feedback," said Mike Jackle, "and made improvements to produce a perfect case for the iPod with video." The headphone port is now larger to accommodate oversized high-end headphones, such as those made by Shure, Bose, and Etymotic and it uses a new secure streamlined latch. Designed for the active lifestyle, this case allows for easy access to all of the controls and can be taken anywhere with its comfortable, horizontally mounted belt clip.
