The iPod is quite possibly the gadget of the decade. Just as the record player or the Sony Walkman changed the way we listen to music, the iPod changed the way we consume digital music. The iPod is single handedly responsible for dealing the killing blow to the music CD industry and making digital music the de-facto way to consume music.
The ipad holder, wonderful device though it may be, has certain flaws in its design. The biggest one, of course, is that it is terribly delicate. The tiniest of bumps and the iPod can develop a huge scratch. This is especially troubling to an owner since these devices are so beautiful (and expensive!) to begin with.
Therefore, when you buy an ipad bluetooth keyboard, it is imperative that you also buy an iPod case. A quick visit to any electronics store will tell you that this is a huge industry. Literally hundreds of manufacturers are busy making cases for iPods of all shapes and sizes. These cases range from the cheap, $5 plastic ones to expensive $50 leather cases. Whatever your budget may be, you will be able to find a case that fits it.
If you want to show off your iPod then you definitely want a case that looks good. Leather cases work very well in this regard as they look classy and fulfill the functional role of protecting the device too.
If you want to carry your ipad dock to the gym, you will need a sports armband. This kind of case can be attached to your upper arm and keeps the device stable. It is positioned in such a way that the headphone wires don't interfere with your running.
If you are low on budget, a cheap, $5 clear plastic ipad mount should work well too. These aren't terribly strong though, so be careful not to drop the device.
There are also different kinds of ipad cases for men and women. For women, there are a plethora of cases that are sleek and have fancy designs or are bejeweled with colorful stones. These come in different colors and can be color co-ordinated with your dress for maximum fashion impact.
