"Griffin Technology Inc., creator of all things iPod, today announced a new line of innovative cases for iPod. The company is shipping four new models to retailers today, followed by a steady stream of new case products throughout the year with plans for a 2006 holiday collection. Griffin's emphasis will be on unique features and compelling designs. “Our goal is to take the appearance and functionality of iPod cases to a whole new level in the marketplace. We’ve focused on combining the highest quality materials and top of the line craftsmanship with our trademark design philosophy,” said Paul Griffin, founder of Griffin Technology. “We plan to lead the trends of the season, not follow them.” Griffin enters the iPod case market just in time for back-to-school with exciting new cases for the 30GB and 60GB video iPod and the nano. This new line is expected to hit retail shelves over the course of the next month and retail between $19.99 and $29.99."These are some slick-looking iPod Nano cases, and given the fragility of the Nano screen, you definitely want to put it in a case. Griffin makes high-quality stuff, so I imagine these cases, which sell for $24.99, will be a good buy.
