New 3rd Gen iPod nano-ready sport caps

They may not be as quick out of the gate as some manufacturers have been with their 3rd gen iPod nano accessories, but the folks at iXoundwear look to have made up for their lateness with sheer dorkiness, today announcing their new line of nano-ready sport caps. As you can see above, the caps will not-so-subtly house your shiny new nano in a specially-designed pouch on the side, with two bendable polyurethane plastic spools included to wrap your headphone cord around. If you think you can pull this look off, you'll be able to get the cap in your choice of blue, green, red, black or white this November for $20.

I really like the new nanos now that they play videos. Why whine about something that made the iPod Nano better: more features?

Edit: Actually the nano-ready sport cap looks funny.

#472389

No thanks, I think I'll keep my Nano (if I had one) in my pocket.

So, all one has to do is yank the bill of the hat, run fast or into a crowd, and they have a free iPod nano?

Not to mention that it's fugly.

#472394

lmfao this is the most retarded thing i've ever seen, quite seriously. like...wow.

it's like...Apple meets beer hat. Except the only thing pouring out is embarrassment.

#472397

So, let's see the evidence:

1. It looks awful (and really nerdy)

2. It looks like the sort of hat an alcoholic would have (musicholic?)

3. It makes the nano easier to steal

Yup. Sounds like a sure-fire winner to me.

That cap is ridiculous and as Ertai88 said I'd rather have my nano in my pocket, besides, the new design is horrible I mean it's a good thing that they put video on them but damn! the design of the iPod Classic and iPod Nano's are horrible! What happened to the old glossy black/white with metal at the back?

#472401

nothing will ever replace the shiny sterling silver on the back of my iPod.

Now i have my Samurai Afro iPod, which is like 49823907439824343 times cooler.

#472402

Are these guys kiddin me?.. who will buy those kinda caps i wonder.. i would rather keep it in ma pocket.

...Apple meets beer hat. Except the only thing pouring out is embarrassment.

Hehe, kudos, couldn't have said it better myself.

EDIT: I just realized something. This product is of course targeted towards the lucrative and horribly neglected ipod accessory market that is nudist beach goers! After all, who's looking at your hat?

Seriously one image would have covered it, and if you can float it to the right like the icon then do so, and don't centralise all the text it looks like crap on the front page. And on another note, this doesn't really have anything much to do with aqua-soft does it? I know we're all about apple, but (maybe i'm just old-fashioned) this is essentially supposed to be a customising site. I haven't seen any articles about it yet though!

Lastly i'm sorry, no offense and all, but

I couldn't open a thread in the A-S News Section. Maybe someone can move this thread over there

STEEEVEEE ftw <3

on the front page just looks bollocks. I'm not just here to whine; I'll happily tidy it up myself if someone gives me the power to do so.

#472519

hahahaha oh god kill me.

wearing that thing would make me feel hideous.

#472531

it's like a hat version of that retarded guy from the goonies lmao.

Lol. That's one way to gain power in A-S, but you won't get it The current mods are busy with stuffs. They will get it fixed up sooner or later. No worries!

#472546

WTF!? Who would be stupid enough to even consider ever wearing that!?

No thank you, my pockets are just fine for me.

#472557

I'm not looking for power, i just want to help. On the other hand, perhaps my efforts would be wasted.
