iPod News: Contour Announces ShowCase for iPod video
      #22812 - 02/24/06 07:36 PM

Contour Design, Inc., a leading provider of innovative computer devices and solutions, is excited to introduce two new cases for Apple's latest generation of iPod digital music players with video, the Showcase video 60 and Showcase video 30.



Enhanced manufacturing technology and bulletproof protection

Based on Contour's original market leading Showcase, the Showcase video is even slimmer but doesn't compromise on protection. Featuring larger crystal clear surfaces on both the front and back, the new Showcase video shows off even more of the iPod it protects.

Best of both Worlds

Taking design cues from the original Showcase, the new case for the video iPod keeps the sleek shock-absorbing rubber and the bookstyle opening. The Showcase video also brings features to the case based on consumer input. "We did a pre-release of the Showcase at MacWorld and got some great feedback," said Mike Jackle, "and made improvements to produce a perfect case for the iPod with video." The headphone port is now larger to accommodate oversized high-end headphones, such as those made by Shure, Bose, and Etymotic and it uses a new secure streamlined latch. Designed for the active lifestyle, this case allows for easy access to all of the controls and can be taken anywhere with its comfortable, horizontally mounted belt clip.

Key Features and compatibility

  • Showcase video 30 fits 30 GB iPod with video. Showcase video 60 fits 60GB iPod with video.
  • Sleek, clean design: a seamless integration of clear, protective, durable, and new shock-absorbing materials.
  • iPod screen perfectly visible through protective impact-resistant clear plastic.
  • New Advanced secure slide latch mechanism for easy opening and closing.
  • Click wheel easily accessible.
  • Top and bottom openings provide full access to connectors, headphone jack (fits oversized headphones) and hold switch; compatible with most popular iPod mountable accessories.
  • Strong, detachable belt clip mounts horizontally and provides a secure, comfortable fit.
  • Available in Black.


Availability, Colors and Pricing

Both the Contour Showcase video 60 and video 30 come in black. The MSRP is $32.99 (UK £26.99 inc TAX and Europe €29.99 ex TAX) and the Showcase video 60 is available now. The Showcase video 30 will begin shipping in late March or earlier. Both the Showcase video 30 and video 60 will be available through Contour Design's extensive distributor and reseller partners.
