Strangest iPod accessories.

Apple iPod is, without exaggeration, the most popular portable audio player in the world.Clever marketing strategies of Apple made a symbol out of iPod, for many people, word "iPod" became a common one. As a reflection of its popularity, a strong and wide selection of various iPod accessories appeared, making this stylish Apple masterpiece even better.However, some of these accessories are a bit funny, if not strange at all.



1. Tunebuckle
If you don't know how to carry your iPod Nano around, the Tunebuckle has an answer for you - your belt! However, it is not a clip-on case, as you may think. Imagine that the audio player is hidden inside your belt buckle! Taking advantage of Nano's very small size, it can be hidden inside the buckle, which has an opening for headphone jack and for control buttons too. The iPod will surely be safe from scratches inside this full metal jacket, and you will look very original storing your music inside your belt.However, its main disadvantage is that it is made only for iPod Nano. No other iPod can be placed there because of its hard metal casing, so no play for all iPod Video, Classic, Shuffle or Touch users.


2.iPod "ChairMan" Speakers
Japanese iPod accessory makers once in a while amaze us with fun and original things that make all of us smile. This time it is the Chair Man iPod stand, which tells us that even iPods need to have some rest. The hands and feet look a lot like from Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse, which makes this accessory even funnier. The speakers are hidden inside its feet, you must connect them to the upper earphone jack on the player. Unfortunately, this stand cannot charge the player, so be careful - while resting on this chair and playing music, your player can fall asleep when the battery runs out.






3.iPod DJ Docking Station

This iPod dock will definitely be the star of your party. It is no wonder, because your iPod will became a DJ with it! It will even scratch the turntable in the rhythm of your tunes. Just plug your iPod Video in it (no information about other iPod support, but as we can see on the image, the iPod Video suits it the most) and watch your favorite player to come alive. While right arm scratches, left one keeps the hand on the headphone - it looks and sounds very realistic. However, it costs $100, so it is better to think about need in such "action figure" with two small speakers. Maybe it is better to buy a simple dock with two big speakers built-in for a similar price.



4. iPod Nano Wallet

The size of iPod Nano allows it to be placed almost everywhere. This time it is the wallet. Imagine a simple wallet, which, apart from place to hold you credit cards and driver's license, has one specially designed slot for your music player. The iPod Nano fits there perfectly, and all main parts are accessible - the screen, clickwheel, and headphone jack. Just put it in there and you can amaze your friends when they will see you listening to your wallet.




5. iBuzz

If you want to go farther with your music, a UK Company has created the iPod-connectable vibrator that will vibrate along with your favorite tunes, making this accessory a first music-activated sex toy. It has 11 vibration speeds and are in two colors - Classic White and Limited Edition Black. Manufacturer's site claims that it will bring the most sensational orgasms for couples, and, while you both enjoy the feelings, you can listen to the music!
