Digital Lifestyle Outfitters (DLO) today introduced the DLO Action Jacket for the new video iPods (30GB and 60GB versions). The Action Jacket for iPod is a cushioned neoprene case featuring a clear, built-in screen protector, a removable belt clip and a slender armband that's perfect to use while jogging or working out.

The DLO Action Jacket for the iPod preserves the glass finish of the iPod's screen and front surface by offering owners a soft, padded neoprene case with a built-in screen protector. It fully protects the iPod during any activity, and may be used as an everyday case for the new video iPods. It allows hands-free mobility for owners who use the armband for sports activities such as jogging, biking, hiking or working out. The sturdy belt clip offers the option of wearing the iPod on the hip or on a belt, bag, pocket, almost anywhere. And, the included workout armband fits any arm size and is easy to adjust.

"Our customers have always wanted the best protection for their iPods. But now, there's an even greater need for safeguarding the new video iPod's screen," said Rick Case, vice president of sales for DLO. "The Action Jacket gives you quality, cushioned neoprene and a built-in screen protector for your iPod. It's crucial that the iPods screen not get scratched when you're working out or just out and about."

The Action Jacket for iPod is actually three products in one: a case, a removable belt clip and an armband. The DLO Action Jacket is available online at www.dlo.com and at most iPod outlets for $29.99.
