XZABADY waterproof iPod speaker from Twinbird

The home appliance gadgeteers at Twinbird have come up with an interesting approach to a one-size-fits-all solution to waterproofing your digital audio player: Shrinkwrap it.

Well, not entirely. The XZABADY is like a picture frame for your iPod, Zune, or whatever else is in your pocket. Connect the audio jack, and then compress the player between the customizable backing and a flexible silicone rubber sheet.

You now have easy access to buttons, jog dials, and other functions that you need without getting anything wet or soapy. The sound comes from stereo speakers with reflectors behind the unit, keeping them out of the splash zone as well. Even without your DAP, the built-in FM radio can keep you happy. The sales price is yet unknown.
